Geocaching / GPS software for Q

[govmule]

Does anyone have any recommendations for a good set of geocaching / GPS software? I've tried downloading every recommended package out there on GPS/geocaching sites, but nothing seems to quite work on the Q.

www.alk.com has a mapping program designed for the Q. I have it and it works well. You get the program and all data on a 1GB card for the Q, you just insert the card and the program self installs. It has modes for Car/RV/Walking. There is even unused space on the card for other storage. Hope this helps.

Not positive I understand the question. It does have GPS capability but you must have a seperate GPS Receiver. I use a Holux GPSlim receiver and haven't had any problem. You will need to turn on your BT and pair the devices. Q finds and uses it immediately.

Hope this answers your question.

actually thats what i was asking, i think i worded it strangly though. i was wondering if you needed an outside GPS reciever. thanks for clearing that up
