+DariusMDeV Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 The SDKs and APIs are out there now. I'd like to be able to dive in and start finding caches day 1 on my G1, and I'd like to do it without having to scrape the Groundspeak site in a clandestine manner. Are you guys going to have a app blessed by Groundspeak and anointed with your your holy water? Link to comment
+scott9282 Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Could somebody tell me what this means? Or is it something I shouldn't ask? Link to comment

+ScoutingWV Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I think this is one of the platforms the app will be ported to after learning a bit from the version going to the iPhone. I'm always up for some more options for the blackberry, too! Link to comment

He is talking about developing a geocaching application for the G1 like the iPhone geocaching application. Link to comment
+Patuxent Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 This site will give you a taste of what the G1 will be like: G1 emulator Link to comment

Since software for the Android isn't under Apple's paranoid control, there should be a flood of software in pretty short order. Link to comment
Jeremy Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Are you guys going to have a app blessed by Groundspeak and anointed with your your holy water? Likely, yes. Though the water will be tap and likely contain vitamins. Link to comment
+WRASTRO Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Too funny! Plus, if it is Seattle tap water I think it will have Fluoride as well which should help those fancy phones last longer. Link to comment
+WeightMan Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 (edited) Too funny! Plus, if it is Seattle tap water I think it will have Fluoride as well which should help those fancy phones last longer. They certainly should not have as many cavities.

+benh57 Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 (edited) I have begun work on a geocaching app for Android. It will be similar to cachemate, cacheberry, geopher, etc, with the extra touches the G1 allows. Obviously, it won't scrape geocaching.com but will be dependent on grabbing PQs from your email inbox, downloading GPXes from other sources or from your PC. I hope to have a beta out soon after my G1 arrives around the 22nd. -Ben edit: I also know of at least one other person working on an Android caching app. So there will be plenty of options.

Ben / Team: Just let us know when we can help out with testing the new app. I, for one, am pretty good at documenting use cases, results, and providing feedback. This just reminded me: Is there a screen capture feature / app for the G1? Looking forward to see what you code warriors come up with - and let me know if I can help! Link to comment
+benh57 Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 I have set up http://www.cachedroid.com/ - including some screenshots of my pre-alpha build. Feel free to submit feature requests there, i've set up a forum. Link to comment

robertlipe Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 There are geocaching apps for Android around. There are likely to be more. At least one is likely to improve substantially enough soon to earn a name change an an infusion of ideas/code as it moves to open source... Link to comment

Any chance of pointing me in the right direction? Link to comment
+benh57 Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Unfortunately mine's been on hold, so it's vaporware for now.. Hope to get some time soon to do some work on it. Link to comment
+creagerstonefamily Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 GeoBrowse is cool and works pretty well. It's always going to suck a bit using a tiny screen, though. It's right in Android Market so it's easy to find. Be sure to download the Radar development library for a really neat way to home in on a cache. Link to comment

Amen re: Geobrowse but I'm still looking for a database to keep my local caches handy. Something similar to Cachemate would be nice. Link to comment
+deshandrews Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 GeoBeagle is the app I use. It's pretty good and located in the market. I think they used to call it Geobrowse, not sure. I also am going to try out Geodroid soon. Link to comment
+Patuxent Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Yeah, I've used geobeagle. It works okay. Not exactly intuitive at times. It would be nice to have a database app I can load my PQs into. Geodroid says the beta expires on 2/1. Not anxious to try something that will die soon. Link to comment
