    I am getting a dell axim and am looking for something real simple to put a cache page on there and view it with the hint could the web page be saved right to the PPc and then pull it up or do I need some type of other software and what is the easiest
    thanks for the help

    The Dell is a Pocket PC so you have several choices.

    1. GSAK, which runs on your PC sends the pages directly to the Dell or to an SD memory card if your Dell has that capability. You read the pages with the Internet Explorer that comes with the Dell.

    -or-

    2. Pocket queries from GC.com are saved on the Dell and are read with GPXSonar, a program that runs on your Dell (probably the easiest).

    -or-

    3. Do both. This is what I do, mainly because I can, but don’t really need to.

    -or-

    4. GPX Spinner can do what GSAK does but is probably more complicated and in less widespread use. Included for completeness.

    Shrek.
    I too use GSAK for uploading to my GPS and my PDA. Its a one trip site and its fairly friendly. Its deffinately alot easier from the spinner/plucker programs. I use cachemate, but you will have to use the GPXsonar since its a pocketpc windows base program. when you get it call me and I can help ya set things up if needed.
