+THarvey3 Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 I've been geocaching for a little over a year now...not too religiously, but enough that when I travel, I take a quick look at what caches are in the zipcode I'm going to. It looks like the hot setup is to download all the specific cache info to a PDA and use the PDA in conjunction with your GPS. There's a lot of good and bad to every PDA I've researched. Anyone have a "most bang for the buck" story related to their PDA. BTW, I just "upgraded" from a Garmin 76CS to a 60CSx and LOVE IT, now I want to get the most out of it by throwing some cash into a reliable and functional PDA. Comments? Fire away!

+Timpat Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 I've been paperless caching for about two years now, and this Paperless Caching article got me going. It's inexpensive, easy to use, and is an elegant solution. I found a Palm IIIxe 8MB on ebay for $35, and never looked back. All I need is this setup and my Map 60Cx. Quote Link to comment

+sduck Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 garmin 60c and a palm tx. cachemate, gsak, mac, various other bits and pieces. If i still had a pc gsak and cmconvert would be all I needed. Quote Link to comment
+THarvey3 Posted August 2, 2006 Author Share Posted August 2, 2006 I splurged and got a palm Tungsten E2 - $174 - color screen - and threw in a 512 mg SD card. Now I have Stephen King's new book to listen to, some of my favorite photos, and some rocking tunes. Oh, I need to use it for caching too...hehe...I'll re-print the "Paperless Caching" article and give it a go. PDAs are extremely cool! Quote Link to comment
+Jhwk Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 (edited) welcome, to caching freedom. Although the E2 is WAY overkill for caching, it will work for you. Just make sure you protect it... Edited August 3, 2006 by Jhwk Quote Link to comment
