+The Bolas Heathens Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 (edited) Just planning out my Wirral cache and dash tomorrow and have got my hands on an old PC which I am using to update my Palm with the cache details. I was wondering if there is an app that will grab something like the Streetmap map which is linked to from the cache page and save it on my Palm to save me carrying round bundles of OS maps? I don't need a moving map, just a map of the area within a few miles of the cache so I can get my bearings when driving and then an idea of where public right of way are when I get to the parking location. I know I can do a screen-grab and save the resulting image to the Palm (which works well), but ideally I would like something a little more automated? I thought I could use Fugawi but that seems to want a GPS connected to the Palm before it will display the map properly (I might be missing something here though).

+The Bolas Heathens Posted January 27, 2006 Author Share Posted January 27, 2006 (edited) Fugawi shows maps fine on my Palm without my GPS connected... After some fiddling around I now have the maps on my Palm - looking good. Now to find out if I can buy it online and download it rather than wait for it via snail mail. Thanks for your help.

+Gralorn Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 pick any area of map in Fugawi and simply export to PDA. So simple, so effective. No need to have GPS connected. Quote Link to comment
