+Guanajuato Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 (edited) First off, I'll say I have Absolutely NO connection with the software author, other than being a very satisfied user of his excellent software! For a couple of years now I've been using GeoScout for my caching. The main reason for this was the facility to plot your position & caches on a real map background, similar to MemoryMap or Anquet, but a LOT cheaper. Earlier this year Stuart (The author) released Version 2. This addresses the major problem with the old version - as your list of caches increased, the speed dropped off (beyond about 30 caches in a folder). He's now incorporated a cache database management part, which makes searching caches much easier. lots of other great new features too, including TB management, multi cache solver. The only issue I have with the new version is that it no longer uses Ordnance Survey maps. I recommend anyone try it out - free for 30 days and only £20 to register (or £15 to upgrade). http://eastlands.dyndns.org/geoscout/Default.aspx Oops - forgot to mention, the software is for Windows Mobile (2003SE upwards) Edited February 17, 2009 by Guanajuato Quote Link to comment
+GPS_Runner Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I'm also a Geoscout user. I love this program, but it seems to be blacklisted or something by Groundspeak. Seems like it gets lots less attention than it disserves. Quote Link to comment

To be fair to Groundspeak, I don't think it's 'blacklisted' or anything - cachemate & Beeline (to name but two) also don't get a mention on the Geocaching software page. I feel a little message coming on... Quote Link to comment
