+stinger18 Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I was recently lent a hand held Palm III.xe, any idea on how to use this for caching? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you Quote Link to comment
+Tequila Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Years ago I used a Palm III. Get GSAK for your PC and Cachemate for you Palm. It is a good paperless solution. And not that expensive. Quote Link to comment
+sodajerk Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 (edited) What you do is download cache information into the Palm instead of printing out cach pages for the hints, prior logs and other information. It is called Paperless Catching. You do not need it if you have a newer GPS that support paperless caching. Tequila has one solution, another is in the FAQ at the top of the forum, look for paperless caching. It is an older Palm, but works good, I have a IIIx sitting in front of me that I use all the time. I uses AAA bateries, but they last a long time. I hope you got the cable to hook it to a serial port on your computer. Some newer computers don't have the serial port. It also might not work with windows Vista. Go to Palmone web and look for the desktop software to download. Search the forum for Paperless Caching and you will find a lot of answers.
