At this time we do not have any specific plans to support windows mobile. If that should change in the future we will post information about supported devices. Larry (Trimble Outdoors)

I have Sprint with gps installed. My phone is HTC Touch Diamond. It is not on the list of phones available for. Any suggestions The HTC is a Windows Mobile device. We are not supportng Windows Mobile at this time.

The IC series of phones were very troublesome and not all that reliable. We decided not to port to those devices. Larry

It is now available on the Verizon Storm through Handmark. Larry

That is a fact. Trimble Outdoors is now launched on 22 VZW phones. Larry (Trimble Outdoors) Now that Trimble Outdoors is on Verizon, are there any plans to add Geocache Navigator support for those Verizon phones? As with all wireless carriers, we seek to get all of our applications available. At this time, the only offering we will have is the Trimble Outdoors product. The Geocaching.com web site does have a mechanism to send caches to Trimble Outdoors. However, there is a limit of one at a time. Larry

We have an Instinct and we are playing with it now. The touch screen interface will require some changes. At this time I can only say we are very interested but this will clearly take more effort. Larry (Trimble Outdoors) Any update on this? I have a couple friends who might be interested as they've seen me running it on my BB. Trimble is still consider this device but we are not ready to make any announcement as of yet. Larry

The m520 was submitted for certification testing last week. All I can say is that I hope it pops out the other end soon. Larry FYI, The Sanyo 3800 and the m520 just passed certification on Sprint. I have not seen them show up for purchase yet but I would expect any day soon they will be available. Larry (Trimble Outdoors)

What functionality were you looking for? Larry (Trimble Outdoors)

I figured it would be easier to accomodate any questions about the new application here. I've been personally using it for a couple of months now and I really, really like the instant geocaching fix it allows me to have when I'm out and about. I'm really bad at preparing for cache hunts so this is an easy way to go geocaching on a whim when I'm doing errands or whatever. It really makes sense to have a concept of a field log as most phones don't have a really good entry mechanism for anything but trivial text. Users wanted to be able to annotate their finds in more detail than a phone can provide. When you click on a field note, you can type in your complete log entry and add whatever "flair" you desire. I would consider more advanced editing to be a possible product upgrade for the future for those devices that are more capable like the BlackBerry. Larry (Trimble Outdoors)

Let me provide a general update for Boost. Some time ago Nextel (the network Boost runs on) discovered a HUGE issue with a certificate expiring. This certificate invalidate all location aware applications and the ability to even download apps on the phone. I personally am on the phone with the content publishers working towards getting the applications re-signed and back on the deck. Carrier time can be so incredibly long and frustrating. Once we can get resolution, I will personally post the details here. Larry (Trimble Outdoors)

The HTC Touch is a Windows Mobile device. At this time we do not have plans to support this device. Larry

Right now the application will only allow you to log found or not found. Your request above is on the list of features we are considering adding. What you will need to do for today is to make sure your phone is associated with a geocaching.com account. You will find all the information you need at the link below. From this link you can associate a phone and record field notes. http://www.geocaching.com/my/fieldnotes.aspx Larry (Trimble Outdoors) Thx again Larry! I've been in Dana Pt on our boat all wknd so I haven't been near a computer since Friday. I'll try that today. More silly questions, I have Trimble Outdoors, not GN, so what do I do now? Trimble Outdoors (the application) is a general purpose navigating tool much like your standard GPSR. There is no cache logging feature in this particular product. If you are focused on Geocaching, GN is the right product. Larry

We are available on GPS enabled 8xxx series Blackberry devices with AT&T. Currently AT&T does not have a traditional handset lineup that has GPS built in - yet. Larry (Trimble Outdoors) I have the Blackberry Curve thru AT&T but I don't have the online GPS turned on. 1) Does trimble work with AT&T now? 2) Will I need to sign up for the full blown GPS premium nav pkg? A lot depends on which model you have. The 8300 curve does not have GPS built in. The only way to make that work would be with an external bluetooth device. The 8310 curve does have built in GPS (it happens to be the device I carry). The 8310 requires nothing to turn the GPS on. All of our software can be purchased from Handmark or via demo from www.trimbleoutdoors.rim. It is pretty easy to figure out what model you have - on your BB go to options, then select about. The model number will be the first line. If you have an 8310 you can go to advanced options then GPS to verify it is turned on. Larry (Trimble Outdoors) I do have the 8310, and I think the GPS is active, at least the last option you mentioned says GPS is Device GPS. I took a stab at identifying the BB earlier when I went to the trimble site. Thx for answering so quickly. I am still deciding what I'm going to do now. Hopefully this doesn't come out promotional but here is my suggestion. Go to the website and download the free trial. Currently it is good for 60 days. Obviously I am a bit biased as I really enjoy using our product. Give it a try and share your thoughts. My personality is more spontaneous so the instant gratification of going caching any time I want is kind of handy. Larry (Trimble Outdoors) I am still thinking about that, and NO it doesn't sound promotional hehehehe. I have to figure out how to hook up the BB to either the home Mac or work PC, or maybe both since I geocache both places. I'd like to be able to cache on the fly. uh Larry, I can't seem to locate anything on Trimble resembling a free trial download, but I am a natural blond can you point me in the right direction perhaps?

No need to hook up the BB to anything! Everything you do is done on the device, including cache listings. You can actually load the application wirelessly on your device from www.trimbleoutdoors.com/rim/get. One of the key features of Geocache Navigator is the paperless caching. You can even complete basic logging from the device as well.

I have sent a message into Sprint requesting a proposed launch date. Once I have something more concrete I will post the information in the forums. Larry (Trimble Outdoors) FYI, Geocache Navigator is now available on Sprint for the following phones: LG 570 - Muziq LG 260 - Rumor Motorola V9m - RAZR2 Sanyo 6650 - Katana II Sanyo 8500 - Katana DLX Larry (Trimble Outdoors)

Greg, I have added your request above to our tracking document for product features. One challenge we have is releasing updated versions for wireless carrier handsets, it is a LONG process. However, if we can get it into our baseline code for other devices, it will eventually migrate back. Although the 7050 has autonomous GPS, you would still need the data connection to do cache requests etc. There is already a feature request for Out Of Network access. Don't know if and when it will make it in but I am pushing for it. Regarding subscription, there is no issue. But then again, it is moot right now. Trimble Outdoors for example would work out of network on the 7050 (even if no data connection is available) Larry

Unfortunately Verizon is still not an option. Larry

It would be really helpful if you could post this in the forums on the geocachenavigator.com web site. I ask this only because other people may benefit from the solution. I will pass this off onto engineering and they may need to ask additional questions. Stand by... Larry (Trimble Outdoors)
