I use it all the time.. I have several different "Books" setup that contains
the "Text" of the caches. You will not get the cache pages.. In other words,
Rich's magic eye would be useless to you because graphics are not
downloaded. I have a 64 meg card in my Palm M505. I load all of them on
there. I do custom querys and save them as a .prc file.
I cannot say if compaq can read the .prc files because it uses non Palm OS.
You do have to install Moby Reader which is free. I think they make a
Windows CE app.
It will download 5 logs and the text of the cache. It sorts them by your
location used to generate the cache listing. I have mine do a file called,
"Around Home" which I capture 500 caches within 100 mile radius. I save that
file and install it to my palm. It is a good field reference when you are
out hunting if you don't want to print out all the caches. I have several
custom queries that I do including, "Around Fenton" (Smaller radius based
upon Fenton Central Zip Code), "Around Eureka", "Columbia" "Dallas"
"Miami"..
Again, it is a great field guide. You can really look up information on the
fly to help you out when you are just driving down the road.. I love the,
"Oh! Theres a cache .45 miles from here! Lemme look it up!"
