I'm currently on a 60 day trail with Geocache Navigator. I've been able to find 54 Caches so far. Only found out about Geocaching about 3 Weeks ago. I believe once the trail is over it will cost about R200 to purchase. Being an Android fan I haven't got any first hand knowledge but have heard of people using this, of course the barriers to entry are low, well, free actually so it can't hurt to try it out. http://www.blackstarnavigation.com/

Any thoughts on the 62S, it is R400 more than the Dakota 20 (http://www.iwarehouse.co.za/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tp-ecommerce.tpl&product_id=9157&category_id=11&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=1) but seems like a much more advanced and robust unit.

Hello all, I got excited about possibly joining when I read that 4x2 with good ground clearance will make it to within a km of the top. When I checked the Matroosberg website though they say you have to have low range to drive on the mountain! Please can you confirm I can join for a drive and hike (1km) in my Forester (good clearance, 4 wheel drive, no low range). Thanks in advance

Hi there guys I too am an android addict, HTC Desire for me and love c:geo. What makes it work even better it installing Rmaps which allows you to run off line maps. You install a programme called Mobile Atlas Creator (Windoze only I'm afraid) and then create maps from there, I also use OpenStreetMap Cyclemap for the map source. The great thing about the OpenStreetMaps is that you can contribute your tracklogs to them for inclusion on the main maps. All this for free. As I do not have another GPSr I only use my Desire, the only issue I have is battery life so I have taken to saving the GC info in c:Geo and then running in aeroplane mode, because I'm not on the network I save a lot of battery drain and it can easily see me through a full days outing this way. I use an old Nokia for cell access, that battery lasts for days. I must say that I love the Radar and Static maps features in c:Geo, they really work for me.
