Much, much more info required Steve...
... what Nav software? (Please don't say TomTom)
... what interfaces?
... how much free memory?
(etc, etc)

I have a Dell PDA Axim (can't remember the exact model) and use GPXsonar (downloaded free) for cache pages, which works very well.
Haven't yet got around to putting Memory Map on it, but I did buy a 1gb SD card so that I could.
All advice was from Highland Nick, who also has a Dell PDA.
Can show you how GPXsonar works on Saturday if you like.

Thanks for that i do have gpxsonar on it working no problem (just about have that figured out) its the navagation software i'd like to add the waypoints too but there's no option for it i have heard its been done for speed camera's so maybe the same could apply for caches  |

Interesting... the copyright message for "Netropa" indicates that your Axim could be using the Intellinav software. Netropa supply this to a number of OEMs, and it appears under different names as a result.
Intellinav with Navteq maps seems to get good reviews, by and large. It supports the creation of user addresses, but I can't find out if it will import whole lists of addresses into the POI database. (Which is what you want.)
You could try exporting some caches from GPXSonar in .loc format, as this is the most likely one to work. Unfortunately, the Intellinav documentation is silent about this.
