+slapshot52 Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 Is there a way to save the whole web page for a cache that can be read on my Dell Axim X3 pocket PC? I have plenty of memory and would like to just save the page instead of doing a pocket query. When I save the page now I get that two-part file structure with the .htm file and the folder with the graphics. When I chose to save it as a .mht web archive file (that creates a single file), my pocket explorer will not read it. I’m going to look at a program like “GPX Sonar” to download info, but I really like the layout and information of the geocaching.com web pages. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment
+spearfox Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 I use GSAK to export HTML cache pages to my PDA. The pages are not exactly the same, but it's close enough for me. The one problem is that a picture will not be on the GSAK generated pages, and sometimes that is needed to solve a puzzle cache. I have gotten around this by saving the picture to the PDA, it helps to rename the pic with the waypoint code so you know what pic goes to what cache. I have also saved the entire page that generates the extra folder, just like you. Good luck. Quote Link to comment
+Jamie Z Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 The one problem is that a picture will not be on the GSAK generated pages, and sometimes that is needed to solve a puzzle cache. I use GSAK to export files to Plucker to send to my PDA. The cache pages on my PDA display images (if there are any). Unfortunately, I use a rather old and non-color PDA, so images are nearly impossible to discern, but they are most definately there. I'm not sure how that helps the OP though.

Thanks Jamie Z, I'll have to try this sometime Quote Link to comment
+Jamie Z Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 The cache pages on my PDA display images (if there are any). Curiously, I've been working with Woof! about this problem. We have almost exactly the same PDA/software setup, and she can't get the images to display. We went through Plucker settings one-by-one and they're all the same, yet when we look at the cache pages, I have images and she doesn't. To the OP, I'm not PPC saavy, but I imagine there is a simple HTML viewer for your unit which would display any page you downloaded from the internet. Jamie Quote Link to comment
+AtoZ Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 SHEEEE people want to make it hard. I hava an Axim as well a X5. Alls I have to do id get a GPX file and drag and drop it in a folder on my SD card. The $30.00 per year or $3 per month is worth it to get GPX files. It took me about 2 caches to realize this. But once you have the GPX file it you get the webpage and all. cheers Quote Link to comment
+slapshot52 Posted December 10, 2004 Author Share Posted December 10, 2004 I already paid the 30 clams so I can down load these files now. What do you use to view them? GSAK? Quote Link to comment

+CompuCash Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 (edited) I already paid the 30 clams so I can down load these files now. What do you use to view them? GSAK? GPXSonar yes - GSAK is a very good program that will also upload the cache waypoints to your garmin or magellan Edited December 11, 2004 by CompuCash Quote Link to comment
