I'm fairly new to Geocaching and am wondering if it's possible to download cache info to my PDA.

Thanks!

For using a PDA for Geocaching and doing paperless Caching I suggest reading an article writen

 

by Clan_Barron called Paperless Caching

 

located here: http://65.34.18.106/content.php?article.15

 

His article is very helpfull on using Geocaching Swiss Army Knife (GSAK) and CacheMate with your GPS and PDA's.

CYBret has a great tutorial on Plucker here.

 

I love Plucker, but I also recommend that you use Sunrise instead of Plucker's desktop application and Cache Log Book to record your adventures. It is a great little palm database that makes it easy as pie to keep track of all your cache hunts.

sbell111,

 

Where do you get Sunrise and Cache Log Book? I use Plucker's desktop and am not totally thrilled with it.

 

Thanks

Yes, using GSAK and Cachemate. Or one of 14 other combinations.

I use a TE, also. I'm tempted to get an old cheapo model for geocaching so I won't be so sad if I destroy it, but I haven't gotten around to it. By the time I do, the TE will probably be my old cheapo unit and I'll upgrade to something even better.

How many caches can reasonably be exported to a PDA ? Is there a limit. And let's say you are going on a trip and you want to PQ an area, how do you export just those caches ?

Case that protects your PDA and can be worn on belt or snapped onto pack. It was so cheap I couldn't pass it up.

what do you guys recomend for ppc? i want to d/l the gpx files directly on my ppc and veiw them using something?

[+Miragee]

There is a new version of Cachemate for the PPC that gets good reviews.

 

I've been using the GSAK/Cachemate for Palm combo for more than a year. It is very efficient.

[+jaredl]

so, if I install cache mate on my ppc, then i can download the gpx files right onto my ppc and red them with cachemate?

[+Team Cotati]

Can someone please tell me if the search function is broken?

Ok...I tried to d/l the Cache Log Book program before, and thought that I was just missing something. I went to the link provided, but get the "page cannot be found" error when I try to click on the link to d/l it. Is it just me?????

[+Miragee]

I know sbell111 really likes the Plucker, Cache Log Book combination, but Cachemate is only $8.00 to register, and it is a very-efficient, easy-to-use-program.

 

When I took a recent roadtrip, I think I had more than 2000 caches in my Palm M500 in different Cachemate databases.
