Neath Worthies Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 So I've got a new iPod Touch (3G) and I've been looking for a geocaching app that can read GPX files. I know about the "official" GC iPhone app and assume that it works with an iPod and have seen "GeoSphere" which looks good. Before shelling out I wondered if anybody has any experience with either of those apps or knows of any others. Also, does anyone know of a way of linking a bluetooth GPS unit with the iPod?

+SaltercreaseRangers Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 I use the official GC app for ad-hoc caching and for additional screen space when searching, also for logging finds from the field - for speed & accuracy when on a proper geocaching run I stick to the Garmin Quote Link to comment
lakeuk Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 I've got a ipod touch, alot of the applications are limited as you need access to the net, but I've got a offline solution using greasemonkey script GC Tour, free windows software Bullzip to print to pdf and free ipod app Discover to view the pdf on the touch. Works very well Follow this visual walkthrough I've done of what to do on the windows side:- http://screenjel.ly/watch/QNfBVECu11g software used:- Firefox browser Greasemonkey plugin for firefox GCTour greasemonkey script Bullzip - http://www.bullzip.com/products/pdf/info.php Discover - http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore...416855&mt=8 Quote Link to comment
Neath Worthies Posted October 5, 2009 Author Share Posted October 5, 2009 Thanks for the suggestions. I've now settled on using GSAK to create HTML output and ftp'ing it to the iPod using FileAid which also reads the files. Works OK although not as neat as cachemate etc. although I suppose something might come along in the future. Quote Link to comment
