Palm Pilot downloads for paperless caching


antelope hunter

Recommended Posts

I gave my wife a Palm Pilot for Christmas after hearing about paperless caching. We have no trouble

 

downloading coordinates to our Garmin 60CSx but are swimming in paper trying to print out hints, cache

 

descriptions and map information. We just upgraded to a premium membership thinking this would open up

 

some instructions for downloading this information to our Palm. NO luck, we are still clueless as to how to

 

accomplish this task. Any help or instruction would be greatly appreciated!!!

Cachemate is an excellent and easy way to do it. Note that despite what many people will tell you, you don't need to use GSAK along with Cachemate.

do you get the same info into cachemate without gsak? if so what are the steps to do so ?thanks

patiently waiting for an answer ,Please..

 

You use the cmconvert utility. There is a command line based version and a windows based version. I think both are in the distribution, if not you can get the window gui version from the smittyware site for free. It converts your PQ's to palm .pdb.
