+WeR3 Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 I've read the other recent post on this and am a bit confused. I have a palm 5 something (I haven't used it since my company stopped allowing palm sync software) and want to be able to grab the info page for a way point. We are new to Geocaching and actually have found some of the log comments helpful. Does cachemate provide a way for me to grab the cache description and the top X log comments? Thanks Quote
+Ramblin Ramsey's Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 If you are loading the pdb file from GSAK into your paln, all information will be there, including the logs. Quote
+Jurgen & co Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 The bestway is to use get premiuim member. Then you can make pocket queries. If you use the program GSAK you can feed it with those pocket queries and send the information to your palm. Quote
+WeR3 Posted January 30, 2006 Author Posted January 30, 2006 Cool - Very cool. I'm jazzed about this now. I'm a premium member of GC and will get this set up this week. I'm loving Geocaching.... Quote
+Mastifflover Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 You'll love cachemate combined with GSAK! Once you get used to it you can load 500 caches in your gps and all the info in your palm in about 5 minutes out the door. Quote
+the hermit crabs Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 If you want to make it simple to start off, you don't even need GSAK at all. Just having Cachemate on your Palm, and its companion program "cmconvert" on your PC, is all you need to send the cache-page PQ info to your Palm. (comconvert comes packaged with cachemate, so there's no need to download anything extra.) Quote
+Bluejaytoo Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 Also, I might add, you don't even need to do a hotsync. Just load the converted file onto a SD card (assuming the Tungsten 5 has one) and Cachemate will recognize it. Now, I have a question for those who also are using Cachemate/GSAK: How can I sort the caches in the Cachemate database by location? I want to sort them according to proximity of my zip code, but I can't find a way to do it. Quote
+RockyRaab Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 GSAK will do that for you. You first enter your home coords (or any other you choose, I went out in my driveway and marked it as a waypoint.) That's under the "Center Point" tab in the tool bar. In case I want to erase/overwrite the whole database, I made a separate database with just my "HOME" and all my own caches in it. Then I simply merge that one with my all-new baseline database for my home area, and it's all there. Quote
