Hi all,
I've recently been researching phones (with GPS) for Geocaching, and was hoping there'd be some great software around. I'm considering getting a N95 8G and it was great to see that there's a free version of Geocache Navigator for the Nokia phones!
Just a few questions about the software:
1. Will this work fine in Australia? I know US network support is required for the pay-for versions of Geocache Navigator.
2. Can the software use any internet connection? (Wifi, 3G-data or 2G-data) After all, if I *am* near a Wi-fi network, using that will be cheaper than 2G/3G data.
3. Is it possible to pre-download some cache info/cluesheets (via Wifi)?
I mean, If I know the area I'm going to head towards, can I 'cache' (pun intended) the cluesheets for nearby caches to save on in-the-field (2G/3G) data downloading?
Data charges here in Australia are very expensive - so the less that's done over 'the air' the better.
4. The ad-support for the free version - text or graphic? How much data would the ads chew up? Hopefully not much I don't mind having ads in free software, but on a mobile, data bandwidth is a big concern
5. I have read elsewhere in these forums that marking caches as 'found' (and then filtering them out) isn't possible with Geocache Navigator. Is this something on the 'future enhancments' list?
Sorry for pounding out the questions, but Geocache Navigator does sound too good to be true I'd just hate to start using it only to find my data charges soaring through the roof rather quickly...
