Dear all Geocachers!!

My name is Tom and let me introduce Windows Mobile application for Geocaching.

Last October, I bought my iPhone and searched lots of application from Apple Store.
One of most interesting application is "Groundspeak's Geocaching iPhone Application".
Of course, I bought it and started to play Geocaching immediately. It is a lot of fun!!

At the same time, I searched Windows Mobile application for Geocaching like iPhone app.
But I could not find it. then I decided to develop a Windows Mobile application.

Past 2 months, I was working on it and Japanese Geocachers and friends was helping me to test it.

So, I think now is the good timing to introduce the Windows Mobile application to world wide Geocachers.
The application name is "GCz" and you can download it from below.

GCz is Freeware!!!

I modified the cab file to support AppToDate.
Please re-download and try it.

The cab file name is same as before but works with AppToDate.

Hi glaucos,

Yes, off-line mode is next goal of GCz!!
I have recieved same requests.
I will implement it ASAP.

But currently, I need to develop another application.
It might take a while. probablly March.
After that I will work on GCz development again.

Sorry inconvenience.
