Ipod??

[+Ed Rad]

Anybody ever try to use your iPod to store cache descriptions?? I wonder how it would work??

Hmm...

 

Other than storing a document file on the iPod, I'm not aware how you could display a file. I have a 2nd generation iPod. I know the newer models can store photos from iPhoto.

 

Just a thought.

Found this on iPod site:

 

"Store Text Notes

With the notes reader, you can transfer text-based information to your iPod and read it on-screen. Now you can have the information you need — from restaurant reviews to concert guides to news articles — right at your fingertips."

 

 

Good luck.

I remember reading about someone doing this. If there is a way, that would be great!! I will look into it. I also have a 2nd Gen. along with a 1st gen. both 10 gb.

This could definintly be done, when you are storing the notes on the ipod it is just a text file, you can use the isync area of your mac to do this or any number of 3rd party utilities on your pc to sync the text.

 

Good idea, keep the caching, clues, and music all together.

With my 3G iPod, I copy and paste the text from the cache pages right into separate text files on the iPod. Works great and I don't have to worry about paper at all--each cache description is right in the "Geocaching" folder in the Notes section of my iPod.

 

I would be interested in seeing if anyone would develop an application to sync to the iPod straight from geocaching.com ... for both Mac OS X and Windows. Interesting idea... any takers?

Boy those Ipods sure sound a lot like stripped down PDA's with more storage.

 

In the long run PDA's, MP3 Players and Gameboys will all merge into one device that is just too dang handy.

Yup, here is a program to help you do it fast. Works for some cell phones too.
