Skyscape Help

I really want to download the nursing constellation from skyscape, but I don't know how to download it onto a PDA, or if my PDA will be able to hold it.

My PDA is a Palm Z22. Can anyone help me with this? How long does downloading usually take? Thank You.

Hi Sabrina,
Have you purchased the skyscape product yet? I haven't done so, but I believe 0nce you purchase it, you download the Constellation onto the computer that has your Palm Z22 syncing software (the hotsync application). Then you open Hotsync, go to 'install new software' and search for the location of the newly downloaded skyscape software. once you have done this, you plug in your device and press the hotsync button and that should put it on your palm.

Your palm pilot paperwork or website should give you step by step instructions on using the hot sync.

As far as the size, the Constellation software takes 12.2 mb of memory (a new Z22 comes with 20 usable mb of memory) on the device itself, so if you don't have an expandable memory card, you may want to get one. Skyscape will sell you a 512mb memory card WITH your software loaded on it for $25.00. That's not a bad deal, I'm going to purchase the card when I get my palm this week.

Here is the link to the skyscape install help: http://www.skyscape.com/support/ShowFAQ.aspx?kbid=175&cid=11

and palm hotsync support: http://www.palm.com/us/support/hotsync.html

I hope that helps, I'm at home for the rest of the day today if you want to call me if you come across any trouble. I'm at 209-830-7990

Wow, thank you! I will try it out as soon as I can. Especially this weekend, I am very thankful for all you wrote.

in hindsight... it may not be that easy. I got my palm today and installed skyscape software, and it took a few tries to get it right. I still can't install Taber's... not enough room on mine, but I did order the expansion card. please get ahold of me directly if you still need help, and I'll walk you through the best I can.
