11Bravo,
GO PPC! We've got everything we need for paperless travel and viewing Google Earth images, too.
I am just getting started in cacheing and will also be using an IPAQ HX2495, WM5 with a BT GPS I just picked up for 69.00 at Fry's. It is the Earthmate Street Atlas 2006 handheld version. I've used the desktop version for a year.
My BT GPS will sync with my laptop, for Streets & Trips 2005 or SA2006, it will also sync to my pda for either S&T2005 Pocket Streets and SA2006HH versions.
I have 4 gig of storage, music, books and Podcasting to listen to while walking.
I've been trying to locate software to add, so I can download the .loc files or .gpx files, (still learning in that area, what I need) and found your replies here to be informative and just in my area of need.
This is my 2nd PDA, the first lasted over 5 yrs, a Casio Cassiopeia E-125.
In your opinion, what all software will I need to be able to convert the files from Geocaching.com, to usable files for my PDA?
I have entered coordinates into S&T2005 once, to locate a cache in Bob Woodruf park in Plano. I got close to the location, but had no GPS to tell me just how close I was to the treasure, so I think I'm on the right track with my software choices.
So If I buy GPSDash, what do I need to convert/import the files to locate these cache'? Is there a link you can forward with ...step by step... instructions?
Thank you,
Jerry
