Homegrown Geocaching Utilities

[+Eye Cacher]

What home made software utility are you using to simplify your caching experience? Enlighten the rest of us so we can use it too!

While probably not really home grown softeware, I created a MS Access database not to long after getting into Geocaching and the stacks of print outs was growing and taking up way to much room on my desk.

I still log all my finds into Access even though I use GSAK. It's sort of a backup, plus the Access database is setup to do a number of calculations (Total finds, Total number of each cache type (Traditionals, Multies etc), total number of each cache size (Regular, micor etc.), total number of counties with in Ohio, total number of states...).

I also use it to keep special notes about a cache (Puzzle results, multi stage coords etc).

One of my homegrown tools kind of hit the big time. See: http://www.gpsbabel.org/people/robertlipe.html
