Getting Caches Into Pocket Pc?

[+Ferndale]

What is necessary to do this?

[+Cache Viking]

You will need to load a program called GPXSonar. It will also help to be a premium member so you can run Pocket Quries for the GPX files. When you installed the Active Sync program on your PC it should have created a folder on your desk top. Place the GPX in there for your next sync, open GPX Sonar and then the GPX file and you should be hot to trot.

 

If I left a step out I am sure someone will fill it in.

Ditto, GPXSonar is the only program I know of for the pocket pc.

It was created by a cacher, for caching, very stable and user friendly.

 

Good Luck and Happy Caching! SF1

Ditto that for GPXSonar.

I still use GPXView because I have not upgraded my operating system and GPX Sonar in its latest version does not support my older Windows for the Pocket PC.

Used GPX sonar since I have been chaching. just move the gpx file into the pocket pc, fire up GOX sonor and go caching!

In some situations GPSBabel is handy if you want to convert a GPX to a LOC or vice versa, or to import into MS Streets & Trips/Pocket Streets (via a CSV file). I've tried GPXSonar, GPXview, and CacheDragon. I like them in that order. The latter has a lot of potential but unfortunately proved unstable in my setup.
