There are two ways to get the GPX file into Cacheberry.

  1. Put the file on your SD card if your Blackberry supports this and has one, then import it into Cacheberry.
  2. Import it via USB cable and the Cacheberry desktop software. 

To get to this point, you need to launch Cacheberry on your Blackberry, then bring up the menu, you will then have a choice of which way you can import the file.
