There are issues with certain older windows mobile systems that will not talk to Windows 7 or 8. I've got an HTC HD2 with windows mobile that worked perfectly on XP but will not talk to Windows 8. It appears Microsoft aren't bother with something that they have broken. Saying this, you need to check your specific set-up to see if anyone has found a work round. I did a lot of Google searching on my issue and have had to use a virtual machine on my Windows 8 computer with XP installed on it :o

I love my Oregon, I think they are good GPS's but you can't use MM on them but there are alternatives.


Your Motorola XT890 - Intel, is it an Andriod system or Windows? MM can be installed on either, Andriod has an app but I haven't seen a way to use the nice icons I use for geocaching on the Andriod version.

Lets go for a CacheWalker
