geo caching

---

Not sure if this is the right place but its a starting point.

Have just signed up for the geo caching and wanted to know if any body else has done it using this phone?

Not sure what GPS software to install and looking for some advice?

Thanks for your help

It works but you may want to search the forums for registry tweaks to optimise the GPS for pedestrian usage. Software I use - gpssonar (free), memory map (extortionate but good) and cachemate (shareware.)

Ask on the geocaching forums for other software recommendations.

Your battery will drain quite quickly so you may need to think about a back-up battery/charger if you are going to be out on foot for hours at a time, and you need to think carefully about the kind of terrain you will on. Do you want to risk dropping your Rhodium over a cliff or in a river bed? Do you want to test how well it survives a heavy downpour outside? Purpose-built GPS devices tend to be rugged and waterproof - plenty to think about there.

GCz is more than enough for my geocaching needs.

With the pedestrian tweaks the gps is fine, and i find it very precise. Never thought about the battery, because i usually do my "homework", so i know where to look, and only use the GPS only on a 20-30m radius around the cache.

The only thing im afraid, is dropping it or me falling together with the device, when climbing etc.

I'm using GeoScout for my geocaching on the Touch Pro 2, and I'm very satisfied with it.
It cost £20, but is worth it in my oppinion. See http://eastlands.dyndns.org/Default.htm?navstation
