Palm Tungsten E2 - Map software?

[+AAA of MichigAn]

I just received a new Palm Tungsten E2 for my birthday for the purposes of geocaching. I have loaded cachemate onto it and that works well to give me the cache details. But it I still have to print out maps which show where the caches are located in the area that I will be caching each day. Is there any software that can be loaded onto my Palm which can also be used to mark/show cache locations? Or for that matter, is there any map software that can be loaded onto a Palm?

 

If not, what is there a good way to import "screen dumps/screen shots" of cache maps into a Palm?

I have tried a number of different things. Outdoor Navigator worked well while it was available for Topo Maps but they quit selling the product.

 

I was just going to suggest Mapopolis, but when I go to their site it says that they have discontinued all direct to consumer sales -- so now I don't know what to suggest. Will be watching to see what others suggest

I know nothing about it other than it's Palm compatable but you might look into Quo Vadis 3.0.

You need to buy an extension called Pocket TOPO! to download the maps to a PDA. It is not very full featured on the PDA. Here is a previous discussion on the topic.

De Lorme Street Atlas and/or Topo will run on a Palm, albeit slowly. The maps are very nice, but the tracking software is poor. You can load the cache locations on the PC, and transfer the maps to your Palm, and connect to a bluetooth GPS to give mapping information.
