Palm Z22 PDA anygood for paperless Caching?

[+Yorkie30]

Hi,

I know paperless has been covered many times before but I have searched and can't find out what I need to know, so sorry for repeating it yet again.

 

Is a Palm Z22 Handheld PDA any good for paperless geocaching, can I download the geocache log page information onto it so I don't have to keep writing the info down in my notebook?

 

I have a Garmin Vista GPS so I am not really interested in downloading memory map.

 

I am just getting into the technical bit of this hobby.

 

Thanks for your help in advance

Yorkie30.

Thankyou Lakeuk, I have had a look and its looks very useful. I am just looking for a cheap 2nd hand unit now.

A Mitac Mio 168 Digiwalker is another option for a cheap PDA

How many cache pages can I fit onto a Palm Z22 using Cachemate?

I don't know that particular device but if it accepts a memory card then as many as you like. I use a Garmin iQue 360 which is a Palm based PDA with a built in GPS. It accepts SD cards and I use a 1GB card. I had the whole of the UK's active caches loaded into CacheMate and that was getting on towards 42,000 records (enough for a days caching?). However, I did notice that if the number of records in CacheMate exceeded 32767, you lost the side scroll bar for some reason which made it a bit difficult to search through the list so I now limit database to fewer records than that.

Until I bought my Oregon I used the Z22, and it worked fine for me. It took full PQ's I never tried any more than 250 caches on it. You can also upload colour photo's onto it, which is good for spoilers.
