Hello,

one thing i really would like to have is a programm whic downloads the cache description (full) to my harddisk WITH all the images used as hints because when i make a big journey i dont like to print all the stuff.

also the last few logs of a cache are often useful because of hints...

so how can i do that without too much work by hand...
i already am a charter-member of gc.com but with the pocket reports i dont get any pictures which are often more than useful...


Greetings michael

Well, i already use the pocket queries and gpx-files - so i dont have to download anything else but the pictures!

I have many caches around here which use the pics as spoilers and are very hard to find without them.

and if im doing it by hand or wich such a programm ... there shouldnt be a diference in the server load.
As already mentioned i already pay jeremy for higher support like the pocket queries...
i hoped to use monkey for the little bit thats missing...

If you're planning to go to specific caches, you can use iSiloX to grab the gc.com page, complete with pictures, to load onto your PalmOS PDA.

Not as nice as having an automatic set of caches, but better than killing a lot of trees to print out pages and pages of caches.

Just to avoid disappointment in case some poor sod had lumbered himself with a PocketPC lump and thus couldn't use this software.
Public spirited, that's me...
