help with transfer of caches to Palm lllc

[+MR / MRS WATERRAT]

Hi! does anyone know how to transfer cache information from a IBM T60 laptop onto a Palm lllxe?? Every-time I try to upload the cache info I get an error msg stating that the info is received in the wrong format I bought this Palm lllxe just to use for Geocaching If anyone could walk me through it would be greatly appreciated

Could you give us a bit more information on what you are doing. Are you trying to transfer a .loc file or .gpx file? In the mean time here are some sites to check:

 

Geocaching-U

GGA site

 

If that doesn't help give a shout.

Thanks for the answer I'll check those sites out also I've got cachemate loaded along with GSAK the laptop shows the transfer then after a couple of seconds it states on the Palm data recieved in unknown format I've tried all I know and now I'm just really baffled

From GSAK, do File > Export > Cachemate PDB File.

Make sure "Install to Palm" is checked in the next dialog box (and other options you want)

Click "Generate"

 

When it's done, connect your Palm and "hot sync" via Palm Desktop Hot Sync Manager
