+Scorpion King Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 I have an older GPS, and plan on upgrading to a Garmin 60csx soon. I have an older Palm m130. I have PQs setup. I have installed Mobipocket, Cachemate, Cetus, iSilo, and Cachemate on the Palm. I guess Cetus connects to a GPS via USB port..?? My PQs are in Mobipocket. Kinda confusing, but I am stumbling through it... Is there a way to import my GPX files into Cachemate, and do I want to do that..?? I have installed GSAK on my computer, and like it so far. I would like to be able to leave my computer at home, d/l PQs to GPS and Palm, and go searching, and have easy access to hints, etc... Can I do that with this Palm..?? Do I need any other software..?? Thanks for tips, SK Quote Link to comment
+PDOP's Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Wow lots of questions If you haven't already have a look at Geocaching Sans Paper - the Art of Paperless Caching Quote Link to comment
+Zzyzx Road Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 (edited) Geocaching.com premium Pocket Queries - 30$. GSAK to stay sane, sort them in wonderful ways and send to the Palm - 20$. Cachemate to read all the info (and then some) on Palm - 8$. Ease of juggling the entertainment value - Priceless! That is my new great advice statement...

Mustcache Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 I use a Palm M130. Since I use a Mac computer, I have MacCMConvert to place the GPX files into Cachemate. Simple 3-step process. 1. Download GPX. 2. Place in MacCMConvert. 3. Upload to Cachemate. Done! Quote Link to comment
+Wacka Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 I first used a m100. It has 2M memory and will hold 500 caches. (which in our area is nothing). basically any Palm will do. Download the PQ as a .gpx. GSAK has cmConvert built in and will export it as the .pdb file needed for the palm. Quote Link to comment
+Maeglin Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 As for the one question that apparently wasn't answered. The m130 and 60csx are not going to communicate over USB... it's a USB hardware thing that it seems lately has become the cause of many dirty looks around here Quote Link to comment

+Sputnik 57 Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Wow lots of questions If you haven't already have a look at Geocaching Sans Paper - the Art of Paperless Caching Since we are echoing another thread over in getting started, I'll go ahead and add tha for a great tutorial on using GSAK and CacheMate (as opposed to spinner and plucker) look at this article written by Clan_Barron.

+PDOP's Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Since we are echoing another thread over in getting started, I'll go ahead and add .... a link for a cable to link your m130 and GPS via a serail connection (not USB) Quote Link to comment
