My first post here so hello everyone.
I'm very to new to this, having only recently discovered geocaching by strumbling accross a free geocaching app in the my G1's marketplace (download area).
The app is Geobeagle (beta) and it's running on my Tmoblie G1. I also have Geodroid demo too but the demo license has run out so I can only use Geobeagle beta.
I found my first cache today, very pleased. I was using Geobeagle beta and its radar took me to within 2 metres of it!
Initially, it took me a while to figure out how to transer the co-ord's into Geobeagle beta without importing .gpx files, it isn't obvious to a first-timer like me but once I discovered how it was easy (it's done from the web not from the application):
(quoted from the Geobeagle FAQ with additions by me in square brackets. )
"Injecting a Link
You can also inject the coordinates into GeoBeagle by clicking on a link on the cache/letterbox's web page.
For geocaching.com:
[On the phone, in Geobeagle, search for a cache by pressing either the "list" or "map" buttons under the "Search for cache" heading. Providing the G1's GPS is enabled in the phone settings, the app will launch geocaching.com showing caches near my location. Personally I prefer searching by map. I then select the cache I want to visit and the cache page should appear, displaying lots of info about that cache. I make sure I'm logged in to geocaching.com.]
1. On the cache page, look for the group of links that starts with "For online maps..." [on the left hand side of the page, about 2/3 of the way down, below the google map image.] The first two links are "Geocaching.com Google Map" and "MyTopo Maps". Click on the third link: "Google Maps". (Note that this link exists only on the page that says "View Cache Details" at the top.)
2. Android will ask you what app you want to open the link with. Click on "GeoBeagle". The coordinates should now be loaded into GeoBeagle. Click on "Radar" to navigate to the cache. "
