Once you've done this, I start Maemo Mapper, and load in the .gpx file as a POI (Points Of Interest) file - the cache locations then show up as purple dots in Maemo Mapper

If you use GPXview to export the GPX to Maemo Mapper there will be no need to go and strip the logs out. And as an added bonus the cache type is the POI marker.

Monch1962 is right on with the power limitations. The more you can charge it on the road the better off you will be.

ALSO do not be discouraged by DNFs (did not find), they happen to the best of us and will happen to you.
