+Upstate NY Geocacher Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 I am a premium member of Geocache.com and I have Cachemate. I can only seem to be able to download waypoints to my Palm500m. Is there a way to download all the information of a cache. Like past logs, container type and other information. I met a fellow geocacher who has a Sony and he could download all the info to his Sony PDA. Old Timer needs your help !! Jim Quote Link to comment
+Wacka Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 I have a Palm m100. You have generate pocket queries or download the .gpx files from the cache pages. You also need CMConvert (MacCMconvert for Macs) or GSAK ( Geocaching Swiss Army Knife), which I believe has CMConvert in it, to change the .gpx files into a form which Cachemate can read. It works fine with my old m100 and my G4 Mac. Quote Link to comment
+Geo Leo Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 It sounds like you are downloading the .loc file instead of the .gpx file which has the additional data. Make sure you select .gpx and it should work. Quote Link to comment
+Upstate NY Geocacher Posted September 29, 2004 Author Share Posted September 29, 2004 Still only getting waypoints, no other information being downloaded to my Palm500m. Must be another senior moment. Jim Quote Link to comment
+Upstate NY Geocacher Posted September 29, 2004 Author Share Posted September 29, 2004 Thanks for the help. Finially was able to download all the info. Clicked on them one at a time and saved them to my documents. Had to click on gpx file at the Cache site . Then double clicked then , and they went to GSAK. Then I was able to use Cachemate to send them to my Palm500m. This forum is great for the beginners like me. Jim Quote Link to comment
