+Tyren Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 How likely is it that Groundspeak will produce a Blackberry specific geocaching app? I could code it myself if the interfaces were exposed and/or documented somewhere. Link to comment
CacheAddict.com Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 There is a download app called Cacheberry. This might be a good start. Link to comment
+mtn-man Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Moving this to the Geocaching.com Web Site forum since it does not relate to the iPhone or iPod Touch. Link to comment
+cheapentertainment Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 There is a download app called Cacheberry. This might be a good start. I looked at Cacheberry but it does not appear you can on a whim decide to GC but you have to download GPX files that you want to do. I have been using Geocache Navigator from Trimble Outdoors. Very user friendly but they charge a monthly fee of $5 or $6 but you can just decide anyplace you are to find caches that are nearby. Would be nice to find something like it for a one time fee.

+Team Trailwalkers Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 (edited) (moderator note... I moved this post and the next two to the current topic about Blackberry devices and the Cacheberry program -- mtn-man) FYI: Cacheberry was updated (many times) and currently supports, multi databases as well and a built in GPS radar screen.. I was a PALM user and liked Cachemate very well, but I think Cacheberry may now be my all time favorite app.. Edited April 3, 2009 by mtn-man Link to comment

+GizmoGuy411 Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 (edited) I have been using CacheBerry on my BlackBerry Storm 9130 with great results. Besides continually updating the software, the author is also very receptive to suggestions. Here is what I posted on our local NWOGEO.org forums recently: CacheBerry Version 1.5 (1.99.94 Beta, 21-March-2009) NEW! Geocaching Compass NEW! Storm version with multi-touch Supports Geocaching.com GPX format View comprehensive listing details View recent logs View and decrypt hints View Travel Bug® inventories Show cache on Google and BlackBerry maps Enter and Export Field Notes Sort by nearest, recent finds, waypoint, title Uploadable Field Notes Search waypoint, title, description and owner Import from SD-Card or USB transfer Links: From your PC: CacheBerry.com From your BB: OTA Link (it includes versions for BB OS 4.1 through 4.7) Here are a few actual screen shots from my Storm List screen example: Cache screen example: Compass view: Edited April 2, 2009 by GizmoGuy411 Link to comment
lotacus Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 I use Geocache navigator on my BB 8110. I found my particular BB to be way more accurate than my garmin 60CSx, down to 0.7m, of course, that doesn't help when someone places a cache with an accuracy of 10 meters or so. LOL. The only draw back is battery life. Having the software constantly polling the GPS chip, and the cellular chip working, drains the battery quite quicker, Though I did manage to get five hours of caching from a battery charge.

+mtn-man Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 I merged post 5, 6, 7 and 8 into a more recent topic. Thanks. Link to comment
+BruceAndLisa Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 I looked at Cacheberry but it does not appear you can on a whim decide to GC but you have to download GPX files that you want to do Recent versions of CacheBerry have the ability to show the nearest caches (based on GPS) on gc.com, from there you can download the caches directly into CacheBerry via the included BlackBerry browser plugin. The next release fully supports zip files so you can email any pocket query direct from gc.com to your BB and load it into CacheBerry in just a few clicks. Currently you can email uncompressed pocket queries (OS 4.5 or better). Link to comment

The Steaks CacheBerry v2 (released today) has a Geocaching compass, open that view (from cache details) and once you have a location fix select "Web Search" from the menu. Link to comment
+CosmicMiami Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 How likely is it that Groundspeak will produce a Blackberry specific geocaching app? I could code it myself if the interfaces were exposed and/or documented somewhere. Saw the iPhone GC app today. Wow, looks and works great. It's real time. I like CacheBerry and don't want to slam the developer but it seems that Groundspeak has one upped CacheBerry with their iPhone app. Why do they leave the 'Berry world out? Seems kind of snobby. I think there are as many 'Berrys out there as iPhones. Just MHO. Link to comment
