First - its a nice toy.
Second - it works well once you figure it
out.
Now that I've said the nice things I'll add
the warnings. The unit is not user friendly. The map display shows to little
when zoomed out and doesn't track that well. You need to be a Techno geek to
figure it all out. The software that come with it is less than
adequate.
Work arounds. After much searching on the forums I've
come up with the following solutions.1) Cetus (freeware) provide good gps tracking functions. (replaces NAV)
2) GPSbable (freeware) provide conversion of waypoints from .loc format to whatever. Not always the easies to understand.
3) Delorme XMap Hand Held ($40) ability to download maps to palm.
4) Delorme Topo USA 4.0 ($100) ability to download topo maps to palm (requires XMap HH). Also used to create waypoint file for XMap HH.
5) PiMover of tealmovr (shareware) to delete waypoint file for XMap HH from palm.
So how do I use it.1)Get .loc and .prc files from Geocaching.com.
2)Use Word to create comma delimited .txt file from .loc file. I created macros to parse .loc file and leave only North coord, West coord, and name of each cache.
3)Import .txt file into Topo USA 4.0
4) Export Maps and Waypoint From Topo USA 4.0 to Palm.
5)Use GPSbable to create .pdb file for Cetus from .txt file.
