+Zac Young Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I just recently got an iPod touch 4G and was wondering if there's a similar setup for viewing cache info such as cachemate for pda users? Quote Link to comment
ao318 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Yes, via the gc.com app. Just open the "saved" tab and download your PQ directly to the unit via wifi. You now have all the information on your iPod touch just as you did on a PDA but better. There is also another app out there that someone mentioned in another post that you can import your GPX files into but I don't know what it is. Quote Link to comment
+MikeAndHike Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 (edited) gc.com app is over priced and over featured to use as a paperless cache app on an Ipod Touch. Get Geocache Viewer. It was .99 when I bought it a few weeks back. It allows you to upload your .gpx pocket queries. You can load as many different .gpx files as you would like and view them all separately. I keep different .gpx files for each area I plan on caching in just to make browsing more efficient. It works great. I can't imagine an app better for viewing the cache info on. It does one thing, allows you to view your gpx files. And it does it better than anything else that I have seen. And it is 1/10th the price of the gc.com app. Considering you can't fully utilize the gc.com app on a Ipod Touch this is the way to go. I am not affiliated in any way with geocache viewer. It is just a great app that works side by side with a gps to perfection. Edit: Expanded and Bad Spelling Edited March 23, 2011 by MikeAndHike Quote Link to comment
+johnvanderlip Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I use geospere. It works great. Lots of ways to filter. Easy to enter and upload field notes. You can pick up a gps cradle for your iPod as well. Quote Link to comment
+fegan Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Geocaching with Geosphere I have both the GC.com app and Geosphere...based on my above recommendation, which do you think I use more frequently? Quote Link to comment
+johnvanderlip Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 (edited) Nevermind, misread the previous post. Edited March 23, 2011 by johnvanderlip Quote Link to comment
+mapa78 Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 There is now a new app in the market called Geo Bucket. It can download the GPX files and the application is free. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/geo-bucket/id426675790?mt=8&ls=1# Quote Link to comment
+northernpenguin Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Add one more Geosphere vote here. I also have both Geosphere and the official app, but Geosphere is like GSAK on the go! Quote Link to comment
