Ok, wellas you know, you have to load the GPX file through the "updater" icon on your desktop. Once you have done this, do back to the group (not the homepage of Earthcomber) and on the right hand side, there is a "dashboard". One of the links says "inbox". Go there and select "check all". From here I can't remember if you click "move to groups" or "copy to groups". Both will probably work, but I would test both just to make sure. I did all that and now that is where I am left stuck opp nevermind i figured it out i had to go to the look lists on the pda. none of this is intuitive though That's the one thing I don't like about EarthComber.... It only displays a green dot for all geocaches. Not even a treasure box! In fact, I don't even use EarthComber for loading caches in, Just detailed maps and such.

Just me.I've been using my old Legend and I'm gonna buy the CSx for the quality of the antenna and all the other things that come with it.I know the Cx has the same antenna but I figure get it all while I can I guess,tax returns only come once a year and I don't want to regret anything-also I dream of the CSx-call me obsessed-Keep On Cachin' !!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah, I guess you're right. If you have the money to buy a Cx then you can probably afford the CSx. P.S. I actually dream about the Cx

BUMP! Cool, I came across this thread in a Google search!

Just to add a link (<--- link).

Depending on how many counties you load from EarthComber it could take 2 Mb or all 8! It depends on where you live, that will determine how much detail is needed on the maps. If it is like where I live (out in the middle of no-where) then maps will take up very little memory. CacheMate I have no clue how much memory it takes. Not very much. Chances are that you can run both CacheMate and Earthcomber on one. Earthcomber can be found on EarthComber.com. (<--- link) It is completely free. Do either of your PDA's take memory SD cards? If you, then you can hold both programs for sure! P.S. I do use EarthComber and am VERY pleased with it! do you know how to send caches to Earthcomber? or could you look at google maps and see what cross street the cache is by then go into earthcomber and set a POI at that particular intersection? It is kinda of tricky on how to put them in. On the EarthComber website there are different groups that people can start. One of those groups is called something like "Geocaching" (duh). In there it tells how to do it. If you get stuck, just ask in here and I'll help you through it. It's kinda complicated so take your time.

Ah-ha! CacheMate takes up a mere (approximately) 250 Kb. If you don't load to many EarthComber counties (or they don't take up much memory) then you should be able to hold both programs easily.

If you're looking for mapping software for your PDA then I would highly suggest "EarthComber". It's completely free and runs on most any PDA (Palm, Windows mobile, Linux...). And a plus, if you buy a cable that can connect your GPS to your PDA, then you can get real-time on the maps through your PDA. You can also load GPX files into EarthComber, allowing you to see where they are on a very detailed map.

/\ l l There! All better! That's the GPS to get. The only difference between the two is that CSx has a barometric altimeter, which can be really handy if for some reason you need an accurate elevation reading. But, if you don't need a super accurate elevation reading hardly ever, then go with the Cx. Plus, CSx is about $100 more, and all you get is the altimeter. But the Cx doesn't have electronic compass either like the CSx This is true, but I find that it is not needed. I mean seriously, if you need to know which way north is in the first place, chances are you can move around to get a bearing. If you can't move around to get a bearing, then you can't move to go where you want. So what's the point of paying extra for that feature?

You could choose to search by zip code, and make the radius an approximate distance of the cities radius. Other than that, I'm not sure how to...

If you use Firefox as your browser and have Greasemonkey, this can be done very easily with a script. On to what I think should be done: Bring back Virtuals, allow an option where it will tell you if you are to close to another cache when placing your own, add the quality rating without the need of external programs, disallow cachers to log a cache twice, have some sort of "code" be put inside of each physical container that must be used in order to log a cache (similar to TB's and geocoins), put some sort of limitations on low-quality caches. I don't really care that there are so many micro's, it's that fact that most of them are just plain crap. I would love micros if the majority were high quality. I have seen some really really really cool ones, but not a whole lot.

Working fine here, I just uploaded my stats less then a minute ago... What kind of problems are you having?

When will Geocaching.com upgrade to V2? I have heard about it a few times, but never picked up on when it will happen.

If you want to see long quality logs, check out the profile for MutherAndSun. They have some incredibly long ones, their average log size is 275 words.

Are you running the "add to queue"? If not, then this is your problem. I just selected caches that "I have found" and "I own" within an area that has all my finds. I know that add to queue will give me all my finds. I guess I am confused as to why the "I have found" option is there. I'm not sure what the purpose of this is either, but I do know if you click th add to queue, it will give you all of the caches you have found, anywhere in the world.If you just run a query and select caches you have found, then you are restricted to a 500 mile radius. I live in Illinois, but have found caches in New York, If I run a basic query, then I will not get those caches in the search, in turn messing up my stats in a generator.

yup same here. No way I would dink around with 50 waypoints for a single cache - even if it was in my local area. Even if it took you to new places you've never been and was extremely well done? If you did it gradually, it would be like finding a whole bunch of individual caches, only difference is, you only get onoe smiley. Is it really that important to you? I mean the smiley? It sure sounds like you're more concerned about the numbers, not the game...

I find that if all your doing is simply converting the GPX file (geocaches your going to load to your Tungsten) into a PDB file (palm database), then there is no need to get GSAK. CacheMate comes with a converter that does just fine. Plus, GSAK can get very confusing, it's hard to tell where to begin, of course once you get the hang of it, it's the most powerful tool for geocaching. But it is still unnecessary, and it costs to get rid of the nag screen.

Garmin GPSMaps 60CSx and the City Navigator v8... Thank god for tax refund season is all I can say! I LOVE it... Works really well for all the caches and great for around town. I love to drive around, but get lost in a paper bag, so well worth the investment. Wow! That is one nice GPS! I wish I could pay for one. That is probably the best hand held unit you can buy, at least in my opinion.

What kind of GPS did you get?

N 40 03.007, W 89 09.919.

How do you determine your centroid?

I have also been planning a Multi-Cache that has at least fifty waypoints, but as many as 100. and also between each will have a very difficult puzzle, I was planning on using some ideas from "The Amazing race". The puzzles and caches will be very very hard and I expect the entire cache to take a few days if they work very hard and non-stop. I would expect it to take 1 week to 2 weeks. I no a lot of people would put this on their ignore list, but the locals around here don't give up for nothing!! Approximately 1 week after it is published, I bet one team (MutherAndSun) will have completed the cache. anyway, all that to say, I think it's a great idea!
