If it gets archived, why not replace the caches and re-list it with a subtle change in name and description. As it's such a good one it would be a shame to loose it. Presumably, the owner hasn't responded yet to any prompts. ? Seems too long now out of action.

Good idea to recognise good caches etc..., but can it be pinned at the top with the other congrats thread - maybe they'll both be used instead of cluttering up the main part of the forum

If it's against the rules etc... how come there's a function that allows you to send to an alternate email address ??

Not sure, where are you looking? The message I quoted was taken from the text part of the email that my PQ's come with. J I ran 5 PQs last night and all of thema arrived with out the warning in the text of the email. A couple of them were ones that haven't been run for ages, and a couple were ones that I run reasonably regularly. I have several PQs that are only run when I need to visit certain parts of the country, so don't have them ticked for weekly downloads, I just run them when I'm going to that area, which could be next week or next month, or not for six months !!!

And have been un-checked for a re-run next week. Anyone else spotted this? J No warnings here, or am I looking in the wrong place.

I'd be please to know the result, as I still love my 5550, and 4GB in SD would be a bonus Better mark this topic then, it'll be the first place to hear about it 4GB card arrived, installed, loaded and ready for action Going caching Sun/Mon/Tues/Wed so I'll see how good it is in the 5550.

Nearest thing to it is Mapsource

Let me know when we get down to Footpath Fracas. Or Greenlane Geocaching. Sorry .............

Just had the same email from Global advertising it - anyone tried it or got an opinion ??

If your adept with working with intricate things, they can be stripped for fitting new touch screens, so you should be able to separate them and dry it out properly. But, I'd look for some advice on how to on your particular model.

I have MM4 running on PDA and laptop if I can be of any help let me know.

Not sure if the controller chipset for the SD slot in the iPaq 5550 can access above 2GB as it was limited, unlike the CF Card interface in the expasion jackets which has "no" limit. Hmm ... not sure either, so I'll give it a go, if not, it'll give me the excuse ........... Thank you.

Just ordered a 150x 4GB card to try in the Ipaq 5550. If that doesn't sort some of the memory and speed problems, it'll be a new PDA sooner rather than later. Still undecided which to go for though...................

There's hope for mine yet then. Glad you got yours back, hope he travels well from now on.

All you need now is the Memory Map Icons that open up the cachemate cache page Yes, tap the Icon and there is the cache details in full I had this working before with GPXsonar, but it stopped after a while (reset ??) and I've never tried again !!! Doh ... remind me please. CraztL200 and Archer4, Send me a message trough my profile and I'll sort out the script for you, and a document on how to set it up PM sent, thanks.

Sounds like a good excuse for a multi series, with a puzzle final.

To me it was a No Brainer, I never trialed it beyond install and subsequent registration, £5, people spend more on a packets of fags! Now I've tried it, I'm sold. The trial version only allows 10 listings in the database (or at least the one I tried first). £5 is nothing.

Try the PPC version of Cachemate, it is a proper SQL Database in the back end, unlike GPXSonar which renders is data from a flat un-indexed file. Cost £5, and it has great plugins for free, like the TomTom POI Export - saves getting the lappy outt on the road. It is FAST in use, no VERY VERY FAST, I had 12000 caches loaded, and you could search that in seconds for any cache in the UK, looks and feels like GPXSonar, but uses better technology Just loaded Cachemate - like it, why haven't I tried that before ???

I asked "Which PDA" with a basic set of criteria. But to be a bit more specific : Tomtom5.2xx - likely to be changed to 6 soon. Used for UK and European navigaton Memeory Map 2004 - likely to be upgraded to V5 soon. Used for detailed close range navigation. GPXSonar Portable PC power / file transfers etc.... so storage space and processing power is important, irrespective of MemoryMap's hungry attitude. Shame it's degraded into this, think I'll lock the topic if it continues. I've been away from the PC for an hour or so and just spent too long reading an arguement and slanging match. I was hoping for some good advice / experience. Which, to be fair, there has been. But, please, keep it to just that, not slanging each others preferences. So far I'm heading towards either a Mio P550 or Ipaq hx2790. Or maybe just keep the 5550 and shove a 4GB sd card in it until it stops working alltogether. And yes, I'm listening to the Palm users too, even if I did make a "not me" type of comment earlier on. I feel one of the problems with my current 5550 is possibly processing speed degradation as large GPX or MMO files can take for ever to open or even hang the process. The advantage of built in GPS is obvious, although there's bound to be a trade off in terms of battery life. Don't want built in 'phone or camera (I've already got one of each that does what it says on the box !!). Wifi and bluetooth are important needs. It would be nice to be able to get on line in the field, but with bluetooth that's possible via the 'phone, or with Wifi whenever there's a signal. Failing that, it's get the laptop out and use the datacard, but if there's a signal for my datacard, there's also one for the 'phone as they're both on the same network (there's a surprise !!). Thanks for all the good advice so far. Keep it coming.

As someone who owns both a MIO and iPaq, I can say the iPaq knocks spots off the MIO; try running TomTom, Memory Map, and a 78MB Cachemate Database on a MIO and it dies, the iPaq does it very well. My iPaq is 4 years old (5550), I can hold all the UK in 1:50000 Memory Map (12 Maps), a copy of TomTom, and the Cachemate DB and I refuse to change it, after all it does everything I need, and I do also have the unltimate Paperless Caching machine in my car in the form of an Origami PC. Had a thought about what you need, and my 2p worth is HP iPaq hx2790 Pocket PC at around £300. You can't beat iPaq for quality, Onboard memory available to the processor, and support. Presumably you're using a large SD card to get the whole of the UK Memory Map on ?? Must say, my 5550 has been totaly reliable, just getting slow now, maybe it's just time to put a larger card in and keep going

Reading the forum, TT5 (TT6 ??) isn't compatable with WM5. There's a few bundle deals about that include Mio Maps. How does Mio Maps compare with the likes of TT for coverage and detail? I'd guess also, they don't use OV2 files, which could be a problem for me. Just found part of the answer, TT5.2xx is compatable with WM5, so I guess 6 is too.

One of my TB's (that was in a race with 3 others) has gone missing. It was picked up out of a cache by a new cacher who has only ever logged one find and one TB and he's never been back on the site since. I've tried emailing him several times to try and find out what's happened, but he doesn't answer. I've now marked it as missing and I guess I'll have to release a new one using the duplicate tag, but it annoys me that someone tries the sport for only one find and then spoils someone elses fun. rant over ..... sorry
