+BoomerFZ1 Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 We're getting get RIM Blackberry 7520's at work and I wanted to find out if anyone knows of anything like CacheMate I can use for this unit or any RIM units for that matter. Also, what do you all use who have Microsoft type units like iPaq's and whatnot? Cachemate rules and I'm hating the thought of not having it...might have to purchase a nice little Palm from eBay or something. Quote Link to comment
+DonGar Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 I'd like to know as well. The closest I've found is the eBook compatible Mobipocket reader that supposedly will allow you to download an entire cache's description and log page, then read it on the BB screen just like you would with a desktop browser. However, after downloading the sample "caches I have not found" page, I couldn't figure out how to create and download my own list of caches I want to go searching for. The only place I can find that Groundspeak talks about this capability is on the Premium Member page at: http://www.geocaching.com/subscribe/ I don't think there is a RIM geocaching software equivalent to the tools that are commonly available on Palm PDA's. I've looked on RIM's third-party software site and haven't seen anything at all. Quote Link to comment
+Cymbaline Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 There's not any - at least, not anything like Cachemate. I've had a 7520 since January (long time Nextel user) and have been loving it - especially the browser. Use the browser if you need to look up a cache online, carry a cheap palm for Cachemate.

superstition Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 Use Trimble Outdoors on your Nextel 7520 or the new 7100 and leave your GPS at home (at least when I leave my GPS at home I can still find a cache at lunch!). It works well and you can access the geocaching WAP site from the Blackberry to get hints. Quote Link to comment
+howeler Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 I use my 7520 exclusivly for caching. I use Trimble Outdoors www.trimbleoutdoors.com to Cache. Sometimes I use Telenav to get to the site if I have a cross street near the cache. and I use the wap.geocaching.com site for fast loads but I will also look at the full site for pix and stuff.. So The 7520 is the ALL in one... Just need to add some monthly subscriptions. Trimble.. about $6 per month Telenav $10 permonth unlimited geocaching in one device PRICELESS Quote Link to comment
