+CHDdad Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 I have been searching for a while and haven't found the answer yet ... I have a Palm Pilot Tungsten E series and was wondering if there was a way to download caches into it? It's an older palm I have had lying around and thought I would try and put it to use. Currently I am able to cut and paste information into the address book but still looking for an easier way. I have looked at GSAK forums and was not able to find anything there either. I am able to load my caches onto my Garmin e-trex legend HCx but don't know how to load my finds back onto the computer. Still Learning ... Thanks CHDdad Quote
+kunarion Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 I have a Palm Pilot Tungsten E series and was wondering if there was a way to download caches into it? CHDdad, Some info is at the bottom of this page: http://www.geocaching.com/waypoints/ I dusted off my old Palm LifeDrive recently, to try out some cache software. There's another program called "Cachemate", that looks interesting. Quote

+Blaidd-Drwg Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 I used Cachemate on my Palm. GSAK is for use on your PC for manipulating your PQ, while cachemate is for viewing on your PDA Quote
+Blaidd-Drwg Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 Expanding a little on my previous post. If you use GSAK on your PC, you will be able to export a file for use in Cachemate. This file is then loaded using the Palm Sync program. Quote

That thing's not old at all!! It will work just fine for Geocaching. And the "Palm Pilot" was a specific model that was introduced in 1997, and is ancient history. Don't worry though, they're never going to shake that Palm Pilot moniker. Yes, Cachemate as suggested. Personally, I never tried it, I just go with Plucker. this is not Geocaching specific by any means, but allows you to view web pages on the Palm. Works great with Geocaching.com pages, or any webpage, for that matter. Quote

I have an even older palm IIIxe (picked up off craigslist for $25) that I use cachmate ($8). GSAK exports a file directly for Cachemate. All you have to do is export and sync, works great! It is real nice having all of the information right in the PALM of your hand. You can download a sample of Cachemate and try it out. ms Quote

+happycycler Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 Is Plucker (www.plkr.org) still around? I am not being able to download it. The website times out. Quote
+Viajero Perdido Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 Have a look at SunriseXP; it's what I used (with Plucker) when I still used a Palm. Quote
