Hello All!

 

I have a Palm TX and am thinking about getting a Garmin Mobile 10 unit to add GPS to the unit. I currently have an Explorist 400 for geocaching but am wondering if anybody has used a PDA and the Garmin Mobile 10 for geocaching? Is there any shareware or other software that could utilize the Mobile 10 and PDA for GCing?!

 

Thanks in Advance!

Garmin Mobile 10 is a package which includes the GPS10x gps receiver, City Navigator Maps, and Garmin Mobile XT software (the software to display the maps). You can just buy the GPS10x receiver by itself.

 

You can use the GPS10x receiver with any program that supports a gps receiver with NMEA output, so you can for instance use cachemate with the NMEA gps plugin to manage and navigate to the caches.

 

For on road navigation you can use the GMXT software that comes with the Garmin Mobile 10 package, or you could use third party applications so for instance you could use Tom Tom software and maps with it. Currently the GMXT software is fairly buggy and unstable but they are actively working on the bugs. Once the kinks get worked out of GMXT it will be pretty good, it's the same GUI interface that the Nuvi's and new Streetpilots use but with a lot more features that they lack such as routes with more than one via point, track log recording, and setting of specific roads & areas to avoid.
