+wingryder Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Here is where I have been. Garmin receiver, Palm paperless and prime membership creating 1000 cashe pocket queries at a time. Been out of hobby for several years. Now.. coming back. I want to use my old smart phone mainly for paperless, still want to use my Garmin for accuracy. And all caching I do will be off line. (My current droid has bad esn) Plus I cache in the boonies only... So.. 1. want massive pocket queries. 2. download to Garmin receiver 3. import pq to Droid app. With me so far? What app to you suggest? I have heard Drake is good for off line. And maybe Gcdroid.. A lot has changed since I was here before.. including the Live aspect which I dont have a clue about. thanks for your interest. Wingryder Quote Link to comment
John E Cache Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Did you use iSilo on your Palm, like I used to? There is a Droid version of iSilo. I am not up on later apps. The ones I have tried don't save the cache pics offline, like iSilo did. Quote Link to comment
jholly Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 cachemate makes a droid version. Don't know much about that one, but I used the palm version extensively. Quote Link to comment
+wingryder Posted October 13, 2012 Author Share Posted October 13, 2012 You know it's been so long, I don't remember just how I used the Palm. Had to run gpx files through a converter and sparsing or something like that. It was complicated but did work. Hoping the change to Smartphone will make it a few less steps. I also went on Geocashing.com to learn about the "live" feature.. So far still looking.. if someone could point that out. wingryder Quote Link to comment
John E Cache Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 I think "live" means it gets caches from gc.com and displays them on a map they get from Google. Both"gets" won't work in the boonies with a phone with no esn. I used gpxspinner to convert the gpx to Web pages. Isilo fetched the pics. geobeagle reads gpx files. Quote Link to comment
+wingryder Posted October 13, 2012 Author Share Posted October 13, 2012 I appreciate the input. Still looking for ideas on best smartphone app for my "offline" caching. wingryder Quote Link to comment
+michaelcouture Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 I use CacheSense and c:geo on my Nexus S phone and Nexus 7 tablet. Both CacheSense and c:geo support pocket queries and offline OSM maps. c:geo is a free Open Source app; CacheSense has a fully functional 30-day Demo. Quote Link to comment
