+Insp Gadget Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Is it possible to transfer a list of Geocaches to a Tomtom and use it for Geocaching? Quote Link to comment
+NOV8TR Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 (edited) Yup, I did it for several months before I got my dedicated caching unit (the 1XL part of my screen name is from the Tomtom ONE XL). It is easiest if you sign up for the premium membership (I see you have already done so) to have access to pocket queries, and then use GSAK for all the file manipulation. GSAK has export options that allow you to export to the Tomtom in it's native POI format, and you can also export an HTML file that works great for paperless caching (hints, logs, description, etc..). The Tomtom has a "text" viewer that is not very well documented on all models, so you might have to do a little "tweaking" to make all this stuff work perfectly, but it is very doable and it is well worth it! Battery life is another issue, but again this is not a "show stopper". You can check out what I did to make the battery life work for "extended" hikes here All the software "tweaks" you might need for POI manipulation and text viewing can be found in the Tomtom forums. Good luck, and Cache on! Edited June 22, 2008 by 1XL-on-XR650L Quote Link to comment
