Help with Caching in Japan

Hello fellow cachers. I am going to be visiting Japan in the near future and am taking my caching kit with me (Legend and a new Toshiba 830) I would like to know if anyone has GPX files for Japan as I would like to leave my paper at home and try to use the Toshiba for this paperless caching idea. Normally I just wing it but this is a long way from home so phone a friend becomes a bit pricey. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Cheers Terrortorian

Just had a look, there are only 184 in Japan. Would have expected more!

If you aren't a premium member I can generate a pocket query and email you the results.

Can't help with maps though :?

Biggles Bear might be able to help - they did a trip not long ago.

I am going to the World Expo near Nagoya and there are about 54 caches nearby. I have not become a premium member yet and as such have no access to generating gpx files. Conversely based in the Nortern Territory there are only a few caches/cachers and the distances can be quite large so I have had no need for any software to assist in my caching expeditions until now. (used Rob and Lisa data on my trip to Melbourne). If someone could supply a file I would like to give the paperless concept a test run. Any other hints/ suggestions appreciated.

Cheers Terrortorian

Sent the queries to Territorian the other day. Hope you got them OK. Let me know if you need help reading them.

Thanks for the files, they look a treat on the toshiba. can't wait to try them out. This caching trip is becoming a biggie with stops at many australian airports before the o/s leg so the legend's database is getting pretty full.
