AndyCr15 Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 I have installed Mapopolis, on the website it says you download the map files and place them anywhere on the device and it will use them. I have done this, but it still says no maps installed? Any ideas what I am doing wrong? Also, I downloaded GPXView, but is the only way I can get Gpx files to pay to register on here? As someone just wanting to try geocaching, thats not a good option for me Will I need any other software apart from these two peices? Quote Link to comment

That is, make sure you have downloaded the PocketPC maps (has a .mlp extension) and not the Palm maps (has a .pdb extension, I think). There's also an option on the "choose map" screen (if you can get that far, I don't think you can in a no-map situation) that lets you pick which folder to have mapopolis hunt for maps. quote:Also, I downloaded GPXView, but is the only way I can get Gpx files to pay to register on here? As someone just wanting to try geocaching, thats not a good option for me The only other way is if someone in your area will slip you a "demo" of their GPX file(s). But yes, that's the only official way. If you're truly looking for a simple "what's this thing about?" demo, you can grab an ancient GPX from this link that goes to ClayJar's downloads for his Watcher application (another GPX app). quote:Will I need any other software apart from these two peices? That depends on you. While I use both of those applications while geocaching, I found more than a hundred geocaches before going the PDA route. Don't get me wrong... I wouldn't want to go back now.. Hope that helps a bit! alex [This message was edited by alexm on August 26, 2003 at 06:50 PM.] Quote Link to comment
+trippy1976 Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 You can get a monthly membership for $3 if you want to try membership. It's not too big an investment. -------- trippy1976 - Team KKF2A Assimilating golf balls - one geocache at a time. Quote Link to comment
