+Nyarlotep Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 I signed up for membership on geocaching.com and I can do pocket queries and have the results sent to my email. So I did that, got the 200 closest to me, and uploaded the coords into my Legend just fine. I got the descriptions/logs into my Palm using mobipocket, but it comes in as a single, 300+ page document and is a pain to scroll through. Is there a way to modify/edit these so each cache will have its own "page" on the Palm, make it easier to locate each cache's info? I'll dink around with it this weekend, just wondered if someone who knows could help out. Quote Link to comment
+Team DEMP Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Might want to look at Cachemate for the Palm. It's the most popular package. There are some tools that will convert a GPX to a Cachemate file. You should check out GSAK as it can do that and much more. Quote Link to comment
+Team GPSaxophone Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Try using GPX Spinner and Plucker. GPX Spinner will convert the GPX file to HTML, then Plucker will stuff it into your Palm. You get to view cache pages sorted by Name, GC number, Placed by, with Travelbugs, etc Another option is to download GSAK instead of GPX Spinner. You get lots more options for filtering and sorting your data. Quote Link to comment

+Miragee Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Ditto . . . I tried out at least four other software programs and combinations of programs first. Cachemate and GSAK are my new best friends. Quote Link to comment
+Olar Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 All recommended applications above are excellent. You will accomplish what you want with any one of them. The number one priority is to retire Mobipocket right away quick. Olar Quote Link to comment

+embra Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 I have to confess I have succumbed to the allure of Cachemate/GSAK as well. I went with Plucker over Cachemate for awhile because of a prefence for the display of the html output used by Plucker (for benchmarks only on this, I had no objection to the cache data display in Cachemate). However, the convenience of sending data from GSAK to Cachemate and being able to easily record logs in the field directly tied to caches/BMs has tipped my scales. These two programs work together well and keep getting better. Quote Link to comment

In short it uses the output from cm2gpx.exe and automatically loads your CacheMate logs into GSAK user note area Excellent Quote Link to comment

Now I think I have to move into the world of macros... Quote Link to comment
