Thanks Loran, I just followed your directions, and it worked. Just gonna have to toy with it a little to change the color the little diamonds show up in, but that for another time. Now I am all ready for my caching tomorrow.
*Warning, a delusion follows*
Hmmmm, next step a BlueTooth GPS for my Palm, and I will be down to no paper and only one piece of equipment that I would need to carry.
..just kidding, tho it would be nice.

It does work but it is very complex.
I originaly got it to work with Topo USA 4.0 and above but here is the sequence.
1) On the palm memory there is a file XMapWptsDB. If it exists you will need to delete it.
2) Next you need to restart SA2006HH which will create a new empty XMapWptsDB file.
3) In the Directory C:\DeLorme Docs\Mobile Maps\Wpts Transfer you will need the file XMapHHWptsSend.txt which has the following format
BEGIN SYMBOL
43.7711800337,-85.8825199604, 'Jeep'ers Letterbox Cache
43.6073299646,-84.7953300476, "A nice basted turkey..."
END
4) I use gpsbabel to create this file for me using the following lines
gpsbabel -i gpx,gsshortnames -f AZ.gpx -o csv -F TOPO-AZ.txt
gpsbabel -i csv -f TOPO-AZ.txt -o xmap -F X-AX.txt
The first line generates a file I use with TOPO USA
The second line modifies it for the HandHeld
5) Then I use the following lines to rename it and copy it to the right directory.
del "C:\DeLorme Docs\Mobile Maps\Wpts Transfer\XMapHHWptsSend.txt"
copy X-AZ.txt "C:\DeLorme Docs\Mobile Maps\Wpts Transfer\XMapHHWptsSend.txt"
6) A hotsync will then load it to the palm.
Keep the number of waypoint under 500 or it messes up the tracking if you are using a GPS with the Palm.

Subject: [Az-Geocaching] Displaying waypoints on Delorme Street Atlas 2006for PalmOS
Anyone know if there is a way to get waypoint info (coordinates, waypoint name) from a GPX file to display on Delorme Street Atlas 2006 for PalmOS. I just got the program so I wouldn't have to carry maps around for all the little side streets (trying to go completely paperless).
Thanks
