palm m125 - other software

[+pickNgrin66]

I just got my first ever PDA, an old Palm M125. I put cachemate on it and downloaded a bunch of gpx data into it last night. I am thrilled!

 

My question for all you users of old palm devices is: what other software do you use on you palm? Leads on any geocaching related software would be great, but other software would be good too.

 

thanks...

I find Vikao useful for viewing pictures of maps on my Palm.

Too beefy for the M125, but for viewing map images:

MapView (pay): http://www.indevsoftware.com/product.php?I...on=27&ep=88

 

I assume you are using GSAK on the PC to organize Palm info, and then use that to sync to the palm

GSAK (pay):

Offline viewing of cache page html, use on PC and sync to Palm

Plucker (free)..can use GSAK to generate batch cache html:

Thanks everybody. My desktop machine is a Mac, so the GSAK route is out for me (but maybe not for other Palm m125 newbies out there). Does that make Plucker irrelevant to me as far as geocaching goes?

 

thanks...

I don't have the links, but some other software I use on my M125:

 

Geocaching

Navigate - co-ords format, project, distance between- very powerful

Braille - helps with in-field decoding

Hint Decoder - ROT13 decoder, great for those portions that Cachemate does decode

 

Non-caching

Tip Tap - tip calculator and bill splitter

The link for the coordinate calculator is http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/theroyles/Coordinates13.zip for the latest version, hope people find it useful.

Speaking of Palm software, we need a new cachemate. I wish someone would take the time to code this and sell it. Cachemate has not been updated for a couple years and it's really starting to show it's age. Something not quite as powerful, but like GSAK for the palm would be a great piece of software. I'd probably pay $20 or $30 bucks for it.

 

Some features needed badly:

Better support for Child Waypoints

Filtering by type/size/etc.
