The Buzzard's Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 I have a Cassiopeia A-21S PDA and I've never thought of using it for downloading maps and waypoints. With that said, I was wondering if MapSend Streets would work on it? The PDA has less than 2MB built-in flash memory and I only have a 64MB Combat Flash Card. I also want to download EasyGPS onto it and wanted to know how to combine the two of them for use in the field. Is this possible? If so, is there somewhere I can learn how to do this? I appreciate any help! ZiggyStardust Quote Link to comment
topografix Posted April 14, 2003 Share Posted April 14, 2003 ExpertGPS for PocketPC will be released later this season. I'm not sure if your PDA can be upgraded to PocketPC 2000, though. -- Dan Foster TopoGrafix: GPS Software, Waypoints, and Maps http://www.topografix.com/ Quote Link to comment
+Marky Posted April 14, 2003 Share Posted April 14, 2003 I seriously doubt you could get MapSend Streets working on it. What is your use case for wanting these programs on your PDA? Maybe there are alternatives. --Marky "All of us get lost in the darkness, dreamers learn to steer with a backlit GPSr" Quote Link to comment
The Buzzard's Posted April 14, 2003 Author Share Posted April 14, 2003 Ok, if I can't get that to work on it, am I able to download the EasyGPS so I can use the pocket query generator? ZiggyStardust Quote Link to comment
+Stunod Posted April 14, 2003 Share Posted April 14, 2003 OK...I'm confused. What do you wish to do with the PDA? Do you want maps on it? Or just cache info? There are ways to do both. Just let us know what exactly it is that you wish to do. "Just because I don't care doesn't mean I don't understand." Quote Link to comment
The Buzzard's Posted April 14, 2003 Author Share Posted April 14, 2003 Actually, I'd like to have both if possible. It just seems like there are only programs for the Palm and not PDA's that use Windows CE. Plus, I'm not very familiar with interchanging info from my desktop or laptop to my PDA. I've only exchanged info from MSWord & Excel. So, any help would be helpful. ZiggyStardust Quote Link to comment
+Stunod Posted April 14, 2003 Share Posted April 14, 2003 Delorme X-Map Handheld Edition will give you the mapping features you want. You can import waypoints into it if you also have Topo 4.0. and use GPSBabel to convert the .loc or .gpx file. According to Delorme's website, the software will run on CE 3.0 or above. As for cache info, as long as you have an html reader (browser) on your PDA, you can use GPX2HTML. This creates html "web pages" for all the caches, and a nice index.

The Buzzard's Posted April 17, 2003 Author Share Posted April 17, 2003 Ok, I finally got new batteries in my PDA and noticed that it runs CE 2.0 and I haven't been able to find a way to upgrade it. So, without buying a new PDA, how do I upload EasyGPS and pocket queries to the PDA or am I out of luck on doing that too? ZiggyStardust Quote Link to comment
