Hi Rivviepop,

The next update will include the ability to copy GPX files to the SD card and import them from there, the windows utility is simply a USB transfer tool, the BlackBerry app itself parses the GPX (XML) file into an internal CacheBerry format.

I am also looking at implementing direct HTTP transfer where you would submit your GPX to our website and have a URL sent to the device to download it.

My initial design for CacheBerry was going to use email as the transfer mechanism but unfortunately support for mail attachments on the BlackBerry is unworkable (I actually did create a web-service which broke the GPX into x-rimdevice chunks and emailed them to the device where they were reassembled and parsed but it just seemed too clunky).
