Paperless with ipod

[+Drycreek]

I recently purchased a 60 csx, I already had an ipod. I'm wondering how you go about setting the ipod up to be able to download the cache info on the ipod.

What program do you use, and how hard is it to set up?

Thanks for any help

Are you on a PC or a Mac? I use MacCaching for my Venture HC and MacBook - it's as simple as checking the box that says 'iPod Notes' and sending the GPX file to your unit and the notes to the iPod. Hope that helps!

I just started using my iPod for notes ... it rocks! (until I can upgrade to a paperless gpsr ) I use Maccaching like the post above and it works really well ... even reads my etrex legend thru a serial to usb converter ... only way I could get it to work actually.

I'm using a PC.

For the PC, I used CacheMagnet.

It has an option to send caches to the ipod as individual notes.

If you're familiar with GSAK, here's a macro that will do it as well.

Yes I'm using gsak, and the macro is what I was looking for.

Thank you

OK the macro works great. just one more little question, how do you get the caches back off the ipod to put more on there?

You dont. When you add more caches to your ipod. It will over ride anything in your extras folder. So the caches you had before will be replaced with the new ones.

OK, how do you let it know which ones you have found? Don't want it to override ones that have not been found.

There's no way to do that with a ipod. But what I do. I bookmark all the caches I want to find. Then run a PQ on your bookmark list and load it into your ipod and gps'r. Then after I have found some of the caches and log them. I delete them from my bookmark list. Then when I run another PQ on my bookmark list, everything is fresh.

I know there is a way to delete stuff off of an ipod, but never played around with it. Just do a google search. You'll find something.
