Ipad best app for offline caches.

[+SPat ABQ]

Howdy folks,

 

We take our Ipad caching with us, but don't have online service.

What is the best app for storing caches from geocaching.com to view offline while out caching?

 

Thanks

Check out the motionX-GPS app...

Is there a way to download GPX files so the caches are displayed on the iPad maps?

Yes.

 

From the app store I downloaded Groundspeaks Project app. 10 bucks. Works great with the Ipad.

Search Geocaching

 

V4.5.9 Iphone Application.

 

Works great. I search from home and save for offline use. The map is there and everying.

 

Logged all of my caches today from the app as a field note. Then when I got home sent them.

 

Really cool tool to have when caching

Thanks for the input.

 

I have the Groundspeak app on my android phone & I use it occasionally, but they need to update the app to take advantage of the the bigger iPad screen. In my case, I have a wifi only iPad, so I'm hoping to add a bluetooth GPS receiver but will still need to preload my cache database. I like the MotionX app, but I'm having problems loading big cache files...I'm still experimenting with it.

 

Update: I think I've found what I wanted. It's an app called iPlunder HD available in the app store. It allows you to download your GPX files for offline viewing. To test it I used GSAK to generate a GPX file of almost 6000 caches and then uploaded them into Dropbox, then downloaded them into the app. Pretty slick!
