A Little Info Please...

I have a Palm IIIc that I would like to start using for caching.

 

What kind of software do you guys recommend for downloading and viewing the cache pages?

 

And one more thing, where do you get it?

 

Thanks in advance,

Ditto on Cachemate. It's a great little software package and the price is right. There is also the Plucker and Spinner combo which works well and is free, but after tryiing both options, I recommend spending the few bucks for Cachemate.

Cachemate is a fantastic program, well worth the small price. I can't possibly live without it now.

 

I tried using Mobipocket once--it was awful, and I almost gave up on caching via PDA afterwards.

Another "ditto" on cachemate. Best $7 I ever spent. I am running a Palm III 1st generation unit, 2MB. Works very well with 600+ caches in it and 3 logs each.

 

Just make sure you use the latest Pocket Query data that you can (if you are a premium member). The more detailed GPX files are great, the free LOC files are... well, not. IMHO of course.

I have a Palm IIIe. Mobipocket didn't work with it. Neither did several other programs I tried (I guess my Palm was just a TAD too old.)

 

But CACHEMATE, coupled with GSAK, works fantastically! Well worth the $7. (I think I've saved that much in paper this month alone.)

You can start with the no-risk MobiPocket reader to get a feel for it, but most folks agree that if you're going to keep doing it you need a better page reader.

 

Oh no, don't do that. I used Mobipocket for a while and it really, really, really, really stinks. If you don't want to spend the $8 on Cachemate (and I recommend you do), go with Spinner and Plucker.

Go with Cachemate. You can do a trial to see if you like it (it will only hold 10 caches at a time though). Well worth the $8. MobiPocket was too busy to read.

 

I just downloaded GSAK and it looks pretty neat, but I can't give the recommendation on that yet. I have been using EasyGPS with Cachemate thus far.
