I use a Palm Z22 along with GSAK and Cachemate. It is very easy to use and the Palm cost about $100 and much cheaper used on Ebay.
Here is site that might answer some Cachemate questions. Also if you scroll down to the bottom of the page there is a whole bunch of links.

The point is we did vote and the one we have won. Maybe it was a small margin but the fact is that logo won. Who’s to say the logo you like is the one I like? Nobody will ever be happy with any logo we pick. So why bother?
I just feel this argument is going nowhere. Everybody has to face the facts that we as a group will never agree 100% on anything.

What is the big friggn deal? It’s a logo for a website that only 78 people care about. Can we just drop the subject?
Scientists Call AP Report on Global Warming ‘Hysteria’
Scientists skeptical of the assertion that climate change is the result of man’s activites are criticizing a recent Associated Press report on global warming, calling it “irrational hysteria,” “horrifically bad” and “incredibly biased.”
They say the report, which was published on Monday, contained sweeping scientific errors and was a one-sided portrayal of a complicated issue.
“If the issues weren’t so serious and the ramifications so profound, I would have to laugh at it,” said David Deming, a geology professor at the University of Oklahoma who has been critical of media reporting on the climate change issue.
In the article, Obama Left with Little Time to Curb Global Warming, AP Science Writer Seth Borenstein wrote that global warming is “a ticking time bomb that President-elect Barack Obama can’t avoid,” and that “global warming is accelerating.”
Deming, in an interview, took issue with Borenstein’s characterization of a problem he says doesn’t exist.
“He says global warming is accelerating. Not only is it continuing, it’s accelerating, and whether it’s continuing that was completely beyond the evidence,” Deming told FOXNews.com.
“The mean global temperature, at least as measured by satellite, is now the same as it was in the year 1980. In the last couple of years sea level has stopped rising. Hurricane and cyclone activity in the northern hemisphere is at a 24-year low and sea ice globally is also the same as it was in 1980.”
Deming said the article is further evidence of the media’s decision to talk about global warming as fact, despite what he says is a lack of evidence.
“Reporters, as I understand reporters, are supposed to report facts,”Deming said. “What he’s doing here is he’s writing a polemic and reporting it as fact, and that’s not right. It’s not reporting. It’s propaganda.
“This reads like a press release for an environmental advocacy group like Greenpeace. It’s not fair and balanced.”
A spokesman for the Associated Press said that the news agency stands by its story. “It’s a news story, based on fact and the clearly expressed views of President-elect Barack Obama and others,” spokesman Paul Colford told FOXNews.com in an e-mail.
Michael R. Fox, a retired nuclear scientist and chemistry professor from the University of Idaho, is another academic who found serious flaws with the AP story’s approach to the issue.
“There’s very little that’s right about it,” Fox said. “And it’s really harmful to the United States because people like this Borenstein working for AP have an enormous impact on everyone, because AP sells their news service to a thousand news outlets.
“One guy like him can be very destructive and alarming. Yeah it’s freedom of speech, but its dishonest.”
Like Deming, Fox said global warming is not accelerating. “These kinds of temperatures cycle up and down and have been doing so for millions of years,” he said.
He said there is little evidence to believe that man-made carbon dioxide is causing temperature fluctuation. “It’s silly to lay it all on man-made carbon dioxide,” Fox said. “It was El Nino in 1998 that caused the big spike in global warming and little to do with carbon dioxide.”
Other factors, including sun spots, solar winds, variations in the solar magnetic field and solar irradiation, could all be affecting temperature changes, he said.
James O’Brien, an emeritus professor at Florida State University who studies climate variability and the oceans, said that global climate change is very important for the country and that Americans need to make sure they have the right answers for policy decisions. But he said he worries that scientists and policymakers are rushing to make changes based on bad science.
“Global climate change is occurring in many places in the world,” O’Brien said. “But everything that’s attributed to global warming, almost none of it is global warming.”
He took issue with the AP article’s assertion that melting Arctic ice will cause global sea levels to rise.
“When the Arctic Ocean ice melts, it never raises sea level because floating ice is floating ice, because it’s displacing water,” O’Brien said. “When the ice melts, sea level actually goes down.
“I call it a fourth grade science experiment. Take a glass, put some ice in it. Put water in it. Mark level where water is. Let it met. After the ice melts, the sea level didn’t go up in your glass of water. It’s called the Archimedes Principle.”
He called sea level changes a “major scare tactic used by the global warming people.”
O’Brien said he doesn’t discount the potential effects man is having on the environment, but he cautioned that government should not make hasty decisions.
“There is no question that the Obama administration is green and I’m green, and there’s no question that they’re going to really take a careful look at what we need to do and attack problems, and I applaud that,” O’Brien said.
“But I’m really concerned that they’re going to spend all the money on implementation of mitigation, rather than supporting the science.”
Thanks for all the good ideas. This camping trip is actually more of a guys fishing and relaxing weekend not scouting.
Hey thanks everybody! It only took us 4 years but we did it.

The pollution comes from Al Gore’s private jet as he flies around the world telling us not to pollute.
Kinda funny NASA preaching to us about being eco friendly after launching all those rockets. 🙄
After it has run the html is on your clip board. Click start, run and then type clipbrd. You can copy and paste from there.
What about my carbon foot print I will be leaving when I drive my one little broken light bulb to the dump?
Started with the Yellow Etrex then the Etrex Legend and now the 60csx and love it.
This breaks my heart. Petition signed.
Check your email.
Lagrac,
I am having the same problem with the macro. The info in the forums is no help whatsoever. If you figure it out or anyone has some pointers let me know.
ChrisDo you mean Z22? I have the Z22 and it has a reset button on the back. Try pushing that. When my Ipod locks up the reset always unlocks it. Good luck.
