Not so much 'equipment' but an extremely handy little FREE program for PDA users.
Very useful when out searching for multi caches that require you to collect numbers that then are put into a formula to calculate the final co-ords of a cache.
You enter the Cache name and formula and save, all done whilst in the comfort of your home.
When out on the hunt you simply enter the numbers, in the appropriate boxes, as you find them and save the data.
When you finally have all of the numbers entered you simply ask it to translate the formula for you and 'hey presto' there appears the co-ords.
Transfer them to the GPS and away you go.
