+Cache Liberation Front Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 Hi all, I just bought the SD wifi card for my Palm Zire 72. It works like a charm, but using the Blazer browser, geocaching.com doesn't work worth spit. Any tips on how I can get geocaching.com to work with my Palm wifi? Maybe I need a different browser? Is there a special geocaching.com/palm site which renders better (w/o java?) on PDAs? Thanks, Oy. Link to comment
+Team Shibby Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 (edited) Try going to http://wap.geocaching.com on the zires' web broswer. Nothing fancy, just a simple interface for phones and small browsers. There is an older discussion on wifi enabled phones and browsers here. Hope this helps! edited for better description!

+mlord Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 The printable versions of the cache pages render perfectly on my Zire72. Link to comment
+Marky Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 Hmm, I thought I tried this on my Zire 72 and everything was fine. Maybe I need to try it again with the latest changes. My problem with the Zire and wifi is that Palm's Wifi card has no SD memory (there is a sandisk version that does, but is currently not compatible with the Zire 72). So basically, I can do Wifi or Tomtom Navigator but not both. Guess which one of those two wins. --Marky Link to comment
+Cache Liberation Front Posted February 26, 2005 Author Share Posted February 26, 2005 Thanks for the replies. I've been using wap.geocaching.com as well as the normal site (printable version)...but sadly no browser I've tried works with java, and I really like running PQs in the field. Blazer 2.0 is ok, but I've heard 4.0 is wonderful. Anyone know where to get a copy of 4.0? Thanks, Oy. Link to comment
+mlord Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 My new Zire72 included a copy of PalmOne WebPro v3.5 on the CD-ROM -- seems to be a reasonably capable web browser, but it does not understand UTF-8, so I see odd characters in cache pages. No built-in Java, but PalmOne also has links for downloading a java engine, and I wonder if that would work with pocket-queries.. I don't have a net connection for my Zire72, but those of you that do have one might want to try that combination (WebPro + java download). Cheers Link to comment
