I have tried to use Vito Navigator with my Pocket Copilot 3.0 sleeve, but it doesn't find the GPS. According to the specs, this sleeve is NMEA protocol compatible on COM4 for the iPaq 3600.

Any way to get this working? Any other alternative software which will work?

Which sleeve do you have -- the NavMan or the newer one? I believe TravRoute has the NavMan set up to only work with Pocket CoPilot. The newer sleeve is supposed to work with any NMEA software.

Nice to see another cacher here. I wonder if there are other cachers here?

I'm not a cacher yet (I went once with my brother and found 4 caches) - I'd like to get started, so I bought the Pocket Copilot, which is cool for the car, but doesn't seem to be of any use for caching (yet).
