  1. I believe there are several caching apps available for the iPhone/touch but am not sure how much/well they store cache info offline. If I had an iPhone, I don't think I would need as much offline data. But I only have an iPod touch and can't have too much data. We cache with a VistaCX, two GPSMAP60csx GPSrs, and an iPod touch. We download pocket queries to GSAK (running on a Mac with Parallels) and upload filtered caches as waypoints (name, difficulty, terrain) and POIs (last 4 finds, hint) to the GPSrs. We then export the same information from GSAK as a custom HTML file. Then we use a program called GSAK2iPhone to make the HTML more iPhone/touch friendly. The HTML files are transferred to the iPod touch via another app called AirSharing. The cache pages (descriptions, images, logs) can be displayed as local web pages by AirSharing. Seems like a lot of work but it only takes a few minutes. Nothing worse than being out in the field without some nugget of information that was in the cache description, on the page, or in a previous log. Hope this is helpful. D2M2
  2. Order two. One last Friday and one today. The first unit shipped same day and appears to have just missed the delivery truck this morning. Edit: The first unit was waiting on my doorstep when I got home from work. Standard shipping too.
  3. Just bought a 2nd one for $159.99. Got it directly from Target, with free shipping. Seems the stock lasted about 30 minutes today. The one ordered last Friday already arrived in Augusta, GA. Looks like it missed the truck this AM. Maybe I'll get it tomorrow?
  4. Almost blew the chance to get one this AM, but recovered. See post #20 in related thread http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=210248
  5. Checked Amazon this morning and it was $280ish. Over to the right side, it listed other places to purchase but the listing for Target did not have a price until you add to cart. Added to cart and it was $159.99 +shipping +tax, so I bought it. Checked Target website and it was $159.99 with free shipping. Canceled Amazon order and went back to Target site only to find it was out of stock. Went back to Amazon and the Target link was gone. Ooops, tried to save $7 and ended up with nothing. After calling Amazon to see if I could get my order back, they said that they were sorry (since Target was out of stock) but I could buy from Amazon (at the higher price). Called Target and they said they were sorry and that it would be back in stock in a few weeks (but not necessarily at same price). Can't blame anyone but myself. Hmmm, I wondered whether my canceled order would be returned to stock and that the unit is just stuck in the ether? Checked Amazon and Target 10 minutes later and saw that the Target link had reappeared on the Amazon page (again, no price). I added it to the cart and it was $159.99 +shipping +tax. Bought it again from Amazon (if you can't learn from your mistakes...). Didn't check the Target site; already been down that road. Hope this is helpful.
