I keep track of which ones I found on my GPS (Garmin 60CS). It has an
option to select found after you find it. Then it has a calendar with the
caches you found that day. That is much easier than doing it in cachemate.
But if your GPS does not do this for you, I would agree that it is a great
feature. I normally cache with my laptop and I read the cache page from in
Street Atlas in my car before I go looking for the cache. The only time I
use plucker is if I am looking for the cache and need to look at the cache
page again.
If I need to write a note or something about a cache I just use the note pad
and it shows up in Outlook the next time I sync. No need to export.
Perhaps I am doing something wrong on getting it stored on the card. When
GSAK creates the file it sets it to go in main memory not the card. So I
change it to install it to the card. This works fine (but I can get it into
plucker with about 5 seconds of clicking). When I open cachemate, it
detects the new file on my card. It then allows me to IMPORT the file into
cachemate. It imports it with no problem. It just stores it in the main
memory, not on the card. You can tell it is stored in main memory as you
have less memory and the cachemate file is larger after you import the file.
So is there some way to get cachemate to store the cache pages on the card
AFTER it imports them? I cannot find any option to do this. I consider
this a MAJOR problem with the program.
