+RumJungle Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 (edited) The Garmin software works well as a vehicle navigation system and Points of Interest (POI) database. For Geocaching -- I would not suggest it. However. I believe that the M5 GPS engine will output NMEA data, which means you can install third party software. There are lots to choose from. BeeLineGPS - Makes your PDA into a Geocaching search engine and acts like a handheld GPS. Allows you to import GPX files, has lots of navigation features (goto, elevation profile, distance and bearing), can support thousands of waypoints with out degrading your performance. Easy to use. GPSTuner - Looks good, runs kind of slow. However it support GPX files and Bitmap mapping. Loading many waypoints slows it down. The interface looks nice and uses the .Net engine. Vito Navigator - You can load GPX files simple maps. Edited May 27, 2005 by RumJungle Quote Link to comment
