Default Decent GEOCACHING app

I just replaced the Tilt 2 with an Aria. So far I love it. Its WAY smoother and more stable then the windows mobile platforms ive been using for years now.

Ive been looking around and ive found everything I need (took me forever to figure out the linked contacts thing) except for a decent geocaching app. The tilt had GcZII by Nicque whic was fantastic. Anyone have any recommendations?

maverick pro seems like it's going to suit your needs very well. I've played around with it and it has a lot of features. I personally have never geocached yet so I can't be 100% certain, but I would have to say, that's what this program is more than likely made for. Oh and it worked awesome on the aria!

Did you happen to notice if it integrates with geocaching.com? Ill check it later on, just wondering.

It appears to have a lot to do with whether or not you are subscribed to geocaching premium. I'd love to see a breakdown of existing free and paid geocaching apps, but i don't have time to test them all myself. let me know if you find a good one.

I setup Geohunter last night. It's free. It integrates with Bcaching, which in turn integrates with geocaching.com. you can set up auto queries on geocaching.com which get sent to Bcaching. the app then syncs with Bcaching. it has a google maps view for seeign all in your area, details on specific cahces, and a compas screen to guide you. GeoBeagle is amost identicle, but i think made by the people from Bcaching.

Default geocaching

Hey I just wanted to let you know that I've been using a geocaching app called "c:geo" This app is frequently being updated and I have tried many many apps and found this one to be the best. You never have to leave the app, it is all self contained. Hope it helps!

Thanks for the c:geo tip. I already like it way better than the previous tip.

Looked at cgeo, not overly impressed. It requires you to jump between programs. the direct integration with geocaching.com is nice, but it's clunky to get to navigation. Geohunter lets you jump from list to map to compass to cache details all within the program. The linking process with the website is a little convoluted, but works well when set up. Just my opinion.

Played around with c:geo today. Lots of crashes from the live map. But altogether usable. I would give it 3 out of 5 for being free.

Sent from my HTC Liberty using XDA App
HTC INTRUDER-attn1's CM6, Many thanks to all who helped.
P.S. READ THIS http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?f=683
