+Steph2472 Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 Plan on getting an iTouch and to load the Groundspeak app. Will report on how well it works shortly. Have been out caching w/my Aunt and Uncle and using their Magellan to date. Quote
+LostMontanan Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 The iPod Touch is pretty useless as a geocaching tool. There's another thread on here that shows how to use the PDF function at GC.com and an app called Air Sharing. Aside from that it's not very useful unless you cache in an area with plenty of wifi hotspots. Quote
PG+LT+WD+AD Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 (edited) In conjunction with a regular Gps unit the Ipod touch with the Groundspeek app is a very useful caching tool. I got a Touch for christmas and the first thing loaded was the Groundspeek app. No you are not going to use it to find caches in the field with but you will be able to go totally paperless with no extra software, no cables, no databases to maintain. Just pick all the caches you are planning on hunting for the day and load them to your Gpsr then use the Ipod to find and save them in the Groundspeek app. Then when you get out and need the hint to help find the cache its right there, or the description for some detailed instructions for the cache. Saves tones of time verses any other paperless option I have tried. Get the Ipod with the Groundspeek app it works great, Best Cash I have spent to help find Caches.java script:emoticon('',%20'smid_4') Edited January 12, 2009 by PG+LT+WD+AD Quote
+LostMontanan Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 I partially retract my previous post. I forgot about the "save" feature on the Geocache app. I just wish you could save mass caches at one time, like a whole PQ, instead of having to save one at a time. Quote
+Night Stalker Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 I guess you answered my question before I got a chance to ask it. I use pocket queries extensively, and if I can't load them onto my I touch I guess I will need to stick with my Pocket PC for the time being. Quote
+The Caching Coulters Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 (edited) If you use GSAK it is really easy. Load up the cache(s) you want in GSAK using filters then export as HTML. Then use AirSharing to put the html file on the Itouch. Post #6 http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php...=204684&hl= Edited January 13, 2009 by The Caching Coulters Quote
