Obtaining a number cache descriptions for one area


Recommended Posts

Posted

I am wondering if anybody knows of a way to getting cache descriptions softcopy that I can read on my Laptop?

 

Geocachings palm query gives you the description in PRC format which is only useable (as far as I know) on a Palm device.

 

Has anybody else found a way of getting the data in a flat text format? (Without Cutting and Pasting!!!)

 

Thanks

 

Chris

Best way I've found is to download your custom query(s) in GPX format then use Watcher to display it on the Laptop. It's almost like having access to the cache pages without being online.

You can get a PC version of the pocket reader from the mobipocket website.

I haven't tried it but saw the link when downloading the PDA stuff for pocket PC.

You set up a pocket query - you have to be a charter member though!

(not that it makes any difference as far as getting GPX files is concerned!!)

Thanks for the help. I have Installed Watcher on my Laptop and am looking forward to a week on the Norfolk Broads and hopefully a couple of cache visits while we are there. Really wuite impressed with Watcher. I have also installed MobiPockets PC Ebook Reader as a backup.

 

Thanks for the help.
