I haven't tried geocaching yet though I am somewhat familar with it. My coworker and I have setup a cache near our workplace which seems to get some traffic once in awhile.

With the addition of GPS to my PDA, I may explore the geocache scene in further detail. Thanks for the link, I'll check it out.

When you decide to buy GPS navigation software, stay away from Arkon's MobiNavigator. It's a rebranded iGuidance package, so I figured I'd support Arkon since their hardware is very good. From multiple emails back and forth with their customer service, it looks like the version I bought (their first and only version) will NOT be made WM5-compatible despite the fact that iGuidance has a patch that makes it so.

So what mapping software would you recommend? They look visually about the same to me, I really haven't dug deep into researching them though. Most of the time I will be using the GPS with my laptop where I have Street Atlas. But for shorter trips and misc events like geocaching, it'd be fun to have some mapping software for the PDA. Thanks again for the info!
