hey and thanks.
we (gf and one niece) just 'finished'. im actually at a library right next to it typing this on the N810 courtesy of the free wifi here.

Since i was not able to import a POI into maemo mapper (after exporting the loc file from gpxview) we ended up just using gpxview for general directions to the place - which was in a park about 1-2 miles away.
when we got to the park gpxview guided us to within approx 50 feet of where the cache was supposed to be.
all was great and both niece and gf were having a great time.
but this is where it kinda went south.
the gps in the n810 were not able to guide us any more precise than that. even standing still the co-ords and distance to cache kept changing with up to 50-60 feet in any direction.
we spent a good 30 mins trying to poke around the area but were unable to find anything.

it does make me question how well the N810 can work on caches as the lone gps device - but im going to see if i can get a poi placed on maemo mapper and the comnination of that and gpxview may work.

the rating od this cache was 1/1

question: so if the auto import for loc files exported from gpx viewe isnt working anymore what editor could i use to manually edit these files? normal Notes didnt want to pick up the files.

thanks again...
