geocaching.com question

Just bought a bluetooth GPS for use with my 770, and have decided to have a go at geocaching in my local area.

Are many tableteers also geocachers?

geocaching.com will not let me login on the tablet, Laptop works fine using the same credentials, it's just that the login button does nowt, regardless of whether javascript is turned on or off.

I'm running 2007he on the 770 btw.

Install Mozilla based browser from http://browser.garage.maemo.org/

Re: geocaching.com question

I am also using my Nokia for geocaching. Just make sure you installed the mozilla based browser mentioned above and maemo-mapper in the latest version. its a very nice team ;)
another nice tool is gpsbabel. it is a command line application, so you will need xterm. but it can convert nearly every coordinate format into another. i use it to convert the loc files at geocaching.com into gpx files using this script:

Code:

#!/bin/bash



# input loc-file

# output gpx-file



gpsbabel -t -i geo -f $1 -x transform,trk=wpt,del=y -o gpx,gpxver=1.0 -F $2
