Lost? with a GPS? I didn't hear that story.
Actually I think the next session will be on PC/laptop programs that work
with geocaching and the following session with be aimed at PDA's.
I have a Toshiba PPC and love it. But, I really think that the Palm OS is
more user friendly and can be used quicker out of the box with less of a
learning curve than a PPC (Windows based).
Palm based are a lot cheaper and are available in color or gray scale
screens, and I've seen them as cheap as $80-90 at Best Buy and places like
that.
But, it requires much more work to get the necessary info to the Palm from
the GPX file, whereas the PPC reads the GPX file directly using GPXsonar.
That's all I'm saying. I'll let Myotis and the others fight it out.
