CMConvert
CMConvert is a handy program that takes the .loc and .gpx files you download from the cache listing site and converts them into a .pdb file that can then be transferred to your Palm OS handheld. The Windows version of CMConvert comes bundled with CacheMate
Macintosh Version of CMConvert
A GUI version of CMConvert, called MacCMConvert, has been written by Jeremy Atherton. However, this version has not been updated lately to match the latest versions of CMConvert, and will only transfer limited information to one's palm.
To get the full feature set of CMConvert on one's Mac, one will need to compile CMConvert on one's own machine from the source code available at the smittyware website. If you don't mind doing a little work under the hood of Mac OS X, here are detailed instructions for Compiling CMConvert for Mac OS X.
