+Imajika Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 I also use a Tungsten E and I use cachemate on it. Cachemate only costs 7.00 and it's worth every penny! After you load cachemate to your PDA, you can convert your .gpx file (on your PC) using the 'cmconvert' program that came with cachemate. Cmconvert will be hiding in your cachemate directory on your PC. You can create a shortcut to it on your desktop if you want to (I did and it's much easier). After you use cmconvert to convert your .gpx file, the caches will be loaded to the PDA the next time you hotsync it. Link to comment
+Perrin Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 Chech this page out It will give a nice run down on how to get your pages on for free. I haven't gotten around to trying cachemate yet, but it sounds like a great way to go too. Link to comment
+Geo Leo Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 I agree that cachemate is the way to go. I have a Tungsten E also, and it works great. If you are downloading pocket queries in ebook format, you have to use Mobipocket to read them. The palm reader doesn't work. I tried mobipocket and thought it was great (compared to printouts), but then I got cachemate and realized how much better it is. You won't need the ebook format for cachemate either - it needs the gpx file. Don't bother with mobipocket. Link to comment
+flask Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 yup, cachemate. if you want to check, though, you can also run spinner/plucker or, depending on some other factors, GSAK. i ran s/p simultaneously with cachemate before settling on cachemate. Link to comment
+rover-r-us Posted April 12, 2004 Author Share Posted April 12, 2004 ok.i have added cachemate to my Tungsten E.and rec.my infor from pocket query.and still no infor? WHY Link to comment
+Berjr1 Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 Are you using the GPX files and then converting them? I had the same trouble, but i was tring to use the pdd files and they do not work. for the cache mate program only the ebooks as far as i know I changed from the mobi pocket, and like the cachemate better, easy to search caches this way Link to comment
+Warriorrider Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Convert the gpx file straight from your pocket querry. If you load it in EasyGPS and then take that saved file, it will not work. EasyGPS strips all of the information you want Link to comment
+rover-r-us Posted April 13, 2004 Author Share Posted April 13, 2004 Convert the gpx file straight from your pocket querry. when i rec. it from pocket querry i send it right to my Tungsten-E fast install???i have both PRC form cachemate at the sametime to my palm too. Link to comment

Keystone Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Since rover-r-us has gotten all set up, I am closing this topic because there is another topic going on right now where the merits of the various paperless solutions are being discussed. In both topics, everyone has been very helpful! Thanks. Link to comment
