Motorola Q

[+TheManInStripes]

I'm curious to know if anyone has used the Motorola Q for geocaching? If so, what programs, etc?

 

I tried searching the forums for this, but because Q is less than 3 characters, I couldn't do a search for "Motorola Q."

Hello OP,

 

I use a Moto Q for caching, just stated. I have not found any smartphone software yet that I like.

 

I use GSAK and export to HTML, then copy the files to the phone with activesync.

(I got this from another tread started not so long ago, look back a page or 2).

Then use IE to view the pages. Works well so far.

 

So with the waypoints in the GPS and the cache info on my phone, I'm good to go hunting.

Arent you worried about it not being waterproof?

I've gotten my explorist wet a few times... would really hate to wreck a phone as nice as the moto q... :-)

No more then any other phone. You just have to be more careful with it I guess. But yes it would suck to get it wet. Really I'm not sure of a waterproof PDA anyway, do they make them?

I have a Q and just bought a Garmin 10X for it. It's great for road navigating but I still depend on my GPS60 and Sony PDA. If I had to choose between one or the other, I'd drop the GPS with the Q and stick to the GPS60.
