New Caher with Palm questions

[fairoakians]

I want to have a go at Geocaching. I have a Palm T5 with a bluetooth gps module and TomTom software for use in the car/bike. I dont think this will allow me enter lat and long as its meant for road users.

Can anyone tell me where I can get some suitable (Pref free!!) mapping software that I can run on this.

Thanks

Simon

I'm not really the best person to answer this, as I don't use that hardware or software.

However, if you become a premium member of geocaching.com, you can get pocket queries, which are essentially gpx files with cache data in. You can put those into GSAK (http://gsak.net/), and then export data for the caches you're interested in as a Tomtom POI file. I assume that would allow you to use what you have for caching.

Hopefully someone will be along to give you a fuller answer. If not, you could try posting the question in the Groundspeak UK forum (https://forums.groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showforum=35).

Hi Simon,

Started just and have been having great fun!.

I am using a very simple Garmin Foretrex and have just hooked that up to my XDAII - v similar to the palm, but runs mobile windows.

For the palm. try the following :

Easy GPS for LOC & GPX Waypoint files
GPX Spinner
iSilo - doc reader

All shareware

Also Palm specific freebie called CETUS

Hope that helps

Dave.
