Does anyone use this program? Do you find it works well? Just curious.

You might want to check out the GPS Units and Software forum (do a search there for MacCaching). A quick search turned up this recent thread with several options.

 

Since this topic is specifically about MacCaching software, I'll move this thread to the appropriate section so you can get more answers to your question.

After having tried MacCaching (and other Mac software), I prefer GeoJournal. http://www.geojournal.net

For caching, GeoJournal looks very good, but as a GPX editor, and for non-geocaching GPX files, I've found MacCaching a bit better. In fact GeoJournal has a tough time understanding non-cache GPX files at all. It substitutes weird stuff into the name field for instance.

 

Bobcat is fair in this regard. Right now it does not seem to allow custom symbols, nor does it seem to be able to handle descriptions properly, only comments. It strips any descriptions, and substitutes the comment into the description field.

 

Terrabrowser seems to so far be the best GPX editor, though it's not perfect. It also has both topo and street mapping, which Bobcat lacks.

 

Of course I shouldn't complain too much, since there really isn't any dedicated GPX editor that I know of for either PC or Mac.

 

Such a piece of software is lacking and badly needed for those of us who make custom waypoint/POI files.
