Using Geocache Navigator in Germany
Overall I'm delighted with my new blackberry/trimble combo.  My only complaint is that I can't seem to search for Geocaches in Germany because I don't know what the two letter country code for Germany is.  If I leave the country blank, it always defaults to the united states.  So if I want to find caches in Heidelberg, it goes to Heidelberg in the us.
No obvious country codes like DE/GE seem to work. 
A nice to have would be if the letters öäü would show up.  They don't seem to be supported, so any cache details written in German have those letters missing.  I can live with that though.

Re: Using Geocache Navigator in Germany

if you could just tell me the code for Germany I would be more than happy!

It isn't GE, DE, 49

Re: Using Geocache Navigator in Germany

Ok, I found it myself, in a roundabout way.

Apparently, the codes used are FIPS country codes. For anyone wanting to go Caching in another country, here's is a list of the codes used.  It would be an obvious thing for Trimble to map them to international standards, but until then, at least you can enter them.
