Quick Cachemate Question

[+Eshel]

Howdy!

 

I am looking to get cachemate for a palmpilot that I am looking to get for those overseas roadtrips and after solving one question (Cachemate to Garmin waypoint transfers are a go!) I have another.

 

In cachemate is it possible to separate my cachelistings (like different pocket queries) or do they all come in as a block? I dont have cachemate yet and I was just wondering if this was doable as I like to stay organised. Know what I mean?

Depending on the internal memory of the PDA, you have the ability to have more than one database in memory. For example, if you build 5 pocket queries and import them into GSAK, you can then export them as individual databases into the PDA as long as when you export them you give the exported csv file a unique name.

 

If I remember, you may have to go into Cachemate and create the databases with their unique name prior to importing the csv file.

That's the way I'm doing it - create a new, unique database first within Cachemate, then import your converted GPX file from your PC (it should be in .pdb format...). When you re-start Cachemate on the PDA it will recognise your converted GPX file and ask what database you'd like to store it in - just choose the new one you just made...

Awesome, sounds good. The PDA I am looking at has 16mb internal and also a memory slot, and the GPX files aren't that big so I assume the converted file would be much the same.

 

Thanks for your help

With Cachemate, all is possible! You can create a sepereate database for each location that you are traveling. When you load your Palm just keep each gpx file seperate. Then in cache mate you can just create a new database for each place. Or you could also dump them all in one big file if you wish.

And if you do dump them in one big file, you can still keep them organised by categories. I load each PQ into its' own category. Like the "Micro" PQ gets loaded into the Micro category, the results of my Multi/Mystery PQ gets it's own category, etc. You then have the choice of viewing individual categories or "all"

 

Cachemate rocks!
