Hi, Could you please, point by point, explain where to go - I think under FILE then EXPORT then WHERE??????????? inorder to send the caches to the Pocket PC. I see it has a selection for sending to the 'Palm' but it is not very clear about the pocket PC and I haven't had any luck.

Thanks for the info. More questions - does geobuddy work alongside mapsource from garmin or does it / can it replace mapsource? There is mention of US topo maps and aerial photos but I live in Nova Scotia Canada. What about those topo maps (Topo Canada from MapSource) and aerial photos - does it cost extra to access them? So I wish to be sure I understand - I can use Goebuddy to open (unzip) pocket quiries from Geocaching .com. I can then send those files to my GPSr AND my Pocket PC (where all data is retained). Do have to use MapSorce at all? I had installed EasyGPS on my PC but removed it when I loaded Cachemate on the Pocket PC. However - the EasyGPX icon remains (it seems) and is teh icon on the files in my zipped Pocket Quiries. Should I be concerned that EasyGPX is still installed on my PC?

I had downloaded EasyGPX to my PC for handling the files on my PC. Recently I have acquired Pocket PC software called "Cachemate" and the EasyGPX program strips caching files information - a lot of the information will not appear on the Pocket PC if EasyGPX has opened the files. The Cachemate program allows all information on a "cache sheet" to be viewed on the Pocket PC if the zipped Pocket quiries are not opened by EasyGPX. So ... I am wondering what others use on their PC, such that is doesn't interfere with the files when sent to the Pocket PC. I find it useful to be able to view cache files form Pocket PQs on the desktop as well as the Pocket PC in 'the field".

Hi, I use the second one you have listed here. It works well. The plastic covers the buttons and is an annoyance at first but it softens up after a bit and allows easier use of the buttons. It could actually have section cut out , over the buttons, without destroying the case. No complaints here. http://www.amazon.com/Garmin-Protective-Ca...p;s=electronics

Hi, I too found that an annoyance. The black arrow/triangle is slow to respond to our changes in direction. I usually keep my map NORTH UP. I like to "orient" my GPS as one would with a regular map and then it is easy to tell if the cache (or any object ) is left, right etc. To get to your question - it is sometimes slow to respond and point in the direction you are travelling. Sometimes standing still a bit then walking will make it catch up and point in the traveled direction. Also, you can cycle through the PAGES using the PAGE button until you get back to the map page (this 'refreshes' the map) and this sometimes causes the black arrow/triangle to hurry up and catch up and point in the travelled direction. All of this works, assuming the compass is callibrated etc.
