Tips and questions regarding paperless geocaching

paperless caching

Postby skyhawk star on Tue Nov 27, 2007 9:07 am

I need to know something ASAP today...a palm zire 72...would that help me do paperless caching? The owner said that they can only download from the computer, but not from the internet. Please let me know so I can confirm that I need it or not. Thanks for your help!

I own a Palm Z22 and love the paperless caching with it. I installed a program called 'Cachemate' which is basically the database for the caches I import from GSAK. About 2 minutes per day to open the PQ in GSAK, filter what I want, and export to the Palm.

I don't know why the Zire 72 couldn't be a similar setup.

The 72 will work fine. We started paperless with a zire 31. Basically anything with a Palm OS will work. Then as Team Dooley says, cachemate and either GSAK or even EasyGPS to load the data onto it.
