[GeoStL] Re: Palm OS

Judi,

I think lots of people use them for different reasons.

My main use for the palm is to download the cache pages instead of printing them out. I have over 1000 pages available on my palm, so I don't have to carry printed sheets. When I go do a cache, I look up the info on my palm and then enter the coords in my gps. I have a Palm Zire 71 which I use to carry around all the cache pages for an areas. I run pocket queries for Mid-Mo, Kansas City and St. Louis. I use GPXSpinner to create webpages useable on my palm via iSiloX (a $30 pay version for Mac)

My wife now has the iQue 3600 which includes a built in GPS. I got to try it out this weekend. It's really built for navigating roads, but I did find a cache or two with it. The maps and route computer were awesome! I put in coords and it figured out my route to the cache, showed me where I was and although it didn't always know the best way to approach the cache or what log to turn over!

I hope that helps.
Dave

I have seen some talk about using a PDA in geocaching. What can be downloaded to a PDA i.e. street maps, waypoints? What software is involved? Is it Shareware, Freeware, or purchased ware? What needs to be loaded on the computer?

More info. please. : )
