Is there a way to download site information to palm?

[+GeoQuest Pirates]

Rather than print pages of information, hints, etc, is there an easy way to download the cache page to my palm, perhaps through Avantgo or something?

pocket query . But you gotta be a member. That along with all else here is well worth the investment.

Become a Charter Member and you can my friend. Best 3 bucks I didn't spend at McDonalds in a while. Cheaper by the year!

 

Folks tell me there's no P in hamster. Oh yeah, SQUEEZE ONE!

Try this Geoclipping program. Works great!

Ditto about GeoClipping. I still prefer it to the pocket queries.

I tried the pocket query, and it never worked.

 

I used to (and still do sometimes) use geoclipper. I have started using Avantgo for big (>20 cache) trips. I simple setup a custom channel and have it go to a 'search' page that I have got the exact URL for. A 2-deep page (what you need for the detail pages) with 25 cache listings sucks up about 200 K of memory, which was small enough for me. Sure there is a lot of blank space, but it is a lot faster than geoclipping 25 cache pages.

Hi,

 

We ran a pocket query for our last two trips out of town. Downloaded about 95 caches for Kansas City into the Palm and used the MobiPocket Reader. Never tried AvantGo or Geoclipping. Might try Geoclipping, but when we go out of town to Geocache, we try to go big.

My mobipocket files would always seem to get jumbled up. I'd have to close it down and then open it again. I'll use those to download all the caches in an area if I'm just visiting.

 

For local caches I use geoclipping. I know which caches I'm heading for, I just clip and go. Plus it's a good way to make sure I hotsync my visor on a regular basis.
