[GeoStL] Re: Recap, PDA caching with IPaq.PDA

-
FYI.. Downloaded the EasyGPS Groundspeak and installed the GPXView on my IPAQ. 
I used EasyGPS to created the GPX file and it creates the wrong XML file for 
the GPXView. So GPXView will not work. I think EasyGPS states it is missing 
same data fields and they may include the correct format in later releases.

From another list... a nice recap of PDA caching on the IPaq platform.

----------------------
I'm setting up a Dell Axim and trying to get the web pages to show on the 
PPC simular to how I saw (Mount10bike) had done at a recent WSGA meeting.

Questions....
1) Should I use GPX Spinner?
2) Should I use Plunker or Silo?
3) Which Format do I chose to have sent in my query? (ebooks?)
4) Should I use Avantgo?
5) Anything else I should know?

I'm not smart enough to know the right questions to ask.

For the easiest solution, use GPXView. It is available at 
http://strandberg.org/gpxview/. All you 
have to do after installing the application on your PocketPC is to copy 
your GPX files over to the PDA and then open them directly with the program 
-- there is no need to spin the files and mess with synching via AvantGo, 
Plucker or iSilo.

For this, the only format you need is GPX. The ebook files are unnecessary 
with this setup. The one thing to be aware of with any of the PDA 
solutions is that uploaded pictures are not included in the files, so if a 
cache uses photos for hints, you are SOL.

Be aware that if you create your GPX files by converting them from .loc 
files, then you will be lacking most of the content that makes GPX so 
useful, such as cache descriptions, recent logs, etc. This is information 
that is not sent out in .loc format.

EasyGPS can also open GPX files, Clay, so you will still be able to use the 
application if you make the change to GPX.
