Anyone know of any low cost maps to load onto a memory card in addition to software that is Geocaching friendly?
BTW, I purchased the Holux M1200 and so far I am impressed!

I have the garmin software installed but feel it's only useful to get you in the general area or street routing to a cache area.
I also have cachemate installed (I use the same lic as I use on my old plam for paperless), it has a optional software add-on of GPSNAV which gets you very close for "off road" work.
I have used this setup only once or twice but what I find best for geocaching is my Garmin hand held, but in a pinch I can easily use the phone.
