Vijoge Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 After using my GPSr for less than two weeks I realize I do need a PDA for paperless caching. However, I've look at too many to count and I still can't figure out which one I should buy so I've come here to ask the experts. I don't think I need anything fancy-just something to help save a few trees. Anyone? Quote Link to comment

+Team_LPD Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 I bought a used Palm 515 off of ebay last year for about $20....works great! Quote Link to comment
+G.O. John and Carol Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Yep, any old Palm will do. We bought a Tungsten last year with the idea that we'd use for other things, but we never have. Remember, pda's arent designed for rugged handling, so you may well break it out there. That's another reason to keep it cheap. Quote Link to comment
+pcunningham Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 I paid $23 for a Palm M515 and $7.50 for a Rhinoskin aluminum case for it on eBay. It makes for a great unit. Quote Link to comment
+Nuwati Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 make sure it has a serial connection so that you can get a charger/data connection with your gps. I use cachemate to store my caches on my palm, then I use the cable to upload caches from the pda to the gps. This is great for long road trips. Nuwati Quote Link to comment
