Caching in Linux

[+Mongo1965]

Just wondering if and how any Linux users load there GPSr with caches. I use Ubuntu but as of right now dual boot to windows for loading my PQs I have a Delorme PN40 and would like to be able to load it from Ubuntu.

It's not really a "repeat," though, is it? The thread you referenced asks if there are any Linux users out there, and was started three years ago. The OP of this thread is asking specific questions relative to his GPSr.

You can use GPSBabel directly, or use OCM (http://sourceforge.net/projects/opencachemanage/files/), which is like GSAK except for Linux

Looks like Open Cache Manager is what I'm looking for. One thing am I reading the page corect and I have to also install GPSBabel or does this get installed when I install Open Cache Manager?

 

Thanks

If you install the .deb for Ubuntu, then gpsbabel will be installed automatically, although if your pn-40 is at firmware 2.8 or higher gpsbabel itself isn't needed for OCM to put caches on your Delorme (I have a PN-60 myself). There's forums for OCM here:
