Re: 2nd Pda Cachemate Question

[+camp chaos clan]

How do I enter my own notes in the cachemate program. For example, on the 1st page, the info page, I wnat to note that a certain cache is in a certain park, can I do this somehow without having to make a note on every single file? Should I make a new folder for each geographical location? This way we can pick a spot, like a certain park, and find all the caches that day.

Thanks

You can make notes wherever you want in Cachemate, however if I understand you correctly, that isn't of much help. You can either create a specific category (ie City Park Caches) and transfer appropriate 'caches into it, or, use the "Nearest Caches" (/E) feature to search for 'caches based on a lat & long. Note that when entering the coords it is in the format H DD MM.MMM and NOT DD MM.MMM H as is more common. Hope that helps.

thanks, I sort of knew about the search feature, but have not had time to try. And I started with categories, then switched to individ notations - think I will go back to categs!

Just a reminder that the Palm OS has a limit on the number of categories you can use. I think it is 15 but I might be wrong.

I hadn't thought of a category limit. I really like being able to open cachemate and immediatley see where the caches are (the ones that tell you in their descrip). S for now I just manually enter it right on the info page!
