Use Blackberry for "paper" only?

[+cachyew]

I have a decent GPS but it is not paperless, and will not be upgrading it soon. I currently make paper notes of the raitings, size/type, hints. I have a Verizon BB Curve 3G 9330, and it's great for communicating and only bearible for the web if need be and time is not a factor. I'm wondering if there is a way to download/transfer ONLY the raitings, size/type, hints to the BB to act as the paperless part. I don't want all the other features that are built in with the software(s) and shure don't want to wait for a web page to load each time to see the information I'd like.

Here's a thread from back in 2008 that may well work for you.

No extra software, just uses Excel and Outlook. I am sure that you could just use Excel to edit the GPX file to only keep the pertinent information and then view that on the Blackberry.

Blackstar can import gpx files and let you see all the info.

I am moving this thread from the Geocaching Topics forum to the GPS and Technology forum.

I use my BB with Trimble Geocache Navigator mostly for the purpose you describe. I use an eXplorist 500 for my main gps and only open TGN if I get stuck and need cache page information. It doesn't really take that long to load up. It will also let me know if there are any caches in the area that I failed to load into the eXplorist. In addition, it is sometimes more accurate than the eXplorist if I am having trouble finding a cache.
