Not to nitpick, or disagree...but: -Import GPX/LOC files directly without having to convert them to PDB format on a PC (great for PQ updates) I see how this could be handy, but I think I'd rather filter/upload via GSAK. -Log templates Good to go with Palm version -Plugins to export waypoints to variety of formats, including CSV, LOC, Magellan SD File, MS Pocket Streets, PocketMap Navigator and KML (works great with Google Maps for Mobile!) Magellan SD, check; Magellan upload, check; Garmin query/upload, check; Cetus and PathAway export, check; no .kml export...now that would be handy! -Plugins to calculate distance, do projections and convert to other coord formats checkaroonie! -Support for child waypoints aren't they in the description? -SpoilerSync integration no comprende -Support for voice notes I have two Palm units capable of voice notes, not sure how that would integrate with CacheMate. -Integrated TB database that allows you to retrieve, discover and drop trackables directly from the cache record, with all data for the TB filled in except for the tracking number -TB actions entered automatically in cache log entry -TB nag alert Considering the likelihood that the TBs listed in the cache will not be there when I go, or that I will pick up a TB not even listed in the cache, I don't know if I'm really missing anything here. I can enter details about what I dropped and/or picked up in my notes for the cache. -Found log counter I can set a preference to move found caches to a 'found' category, and then query the number of records in that category. -HTML logs/notes export Export to Palm Memo Pad, viewable from the Palm desktop application -Support for Corrected Coords (great for puzzles/multi's) Something I'd rather use GSAK for. -GPS support with new center point acquisition, waypoint navigation and gps status plugin Supported in the Palm version...if you have a cable to fit your handheld and your GPS. In reality, the Bluetooth option is the only viable choice. Bottom line: I don't think there is really such a huge difference.
