Paperless caching – I’ve seen it and it’s the future.
I managed to get a nice little Palm Z22 cheap a couple of days ago, which gives us the opportunity of paperless caching. We’ve been out a couple of days this half-term with it and it’s almost revolutionary!.
Using Pocket Queries (PQ) you can download a lot of geocaches in one file, and then run them through a nice application called GPXSpinner. This looks at each cache and creates some nice html for it. This html is then parsed through to plucker which parses all the html and creates nice links between all the pages and then creates a .pdb file which can be installed on the palm (and viewed with plucker’s own viewer).
We were out today, and because we had a nice database of caches on the palm, could roam around with all the information we needed. Cool
