Help for a iPAQ PDA

[+Mischief's Crew]

Hi there. I have just got an iPAQ PDA. I have seen others use them and think they are great. However, I now have no idea how to get the geocache pages on to my PDA. Can anyone help. I have GSAK for my Colorado (which I am not happy with - the Colorado that is). Would appreciate any help you can give.

 

Thanks.

 

Cheers Jude

Cachemate works great on the iPAQ. Just copy the GPX files to your PDA or your SD card if applicable and import them to the Cachemate database.

Thanks for that. I have gone and purchased it. However I am going to have to wait for my friend to return from a working trip because for the life of me I cannot work out how to get it to work on my PDA. I know - thick!

I am moving this thread from the Geocaching Topics forum to the GPS and Technology forum.

I've quit using Cachemate and now use GPXSonar. I like it a lot better than Cachemate.

On the IPAQ to transfer your GPX files:

1) connect your IPAQ to your computer

2) synch it with ActivSync

3) once it's synced there is a button near the top on your Activesynch box labled "Explore". Click "Explore". That will open up your files in your IPAQ.

4) locate where you want your GPX file to reside in your IPAQ. For example I've created a folder in my IPAQ storage card labled "caches".

5) drag and drop the GPX file to where ever you want the file to reside in your IPAQ.

That's it. No need for GSAK, EasyGPS, or any other type manager.

As you seem to be a GSAK user, you can export them as HTML file and copy those files to your PDA. In case you want to spoiler pictures included you can use Spoilersync in addition to GSAK.
