[GeoStL] Re: Windows Mobile geocaching app - FREE!

Gary answered better than I can but there ya have it. ALSO, if ya DO plan ahead a little the program can read your gpx files and you can use it as an offline gpx reader. This is handy if you get into an area where your out of connection range.

This app uses my phone’s internal GPS, but you can probably manipulate the settings to use and external Bluetooth GPS.
It also obviously uses the Internet on the phone. I suggest that you have an unlimited data plan to use this.
This app is AWESOME when you are somewhere you didn’t plan to go and want to cache.
This app does NOT run wherigo cartridges, but you can run wherigo cartridges on a windows phone with GPS. It isn’t really smooth, but it works.
Did you have other Wherigo cartridge questions? I know a little about them.

Does this app work from a cellphone/smartphones "built in" GPS or is getting a data plan necessary? 
I also have the same question concerning Whereigo cartridges.

A lot of neat stuff really. Cachemate with mobile 10x is a hard combo to beat but it takes a little planning to go on a trip.
NO SO with GCz. No advanced planning required. All you need it a windows mobile based smartpone.
You can hop out of the car anywhere, press the "nearest caches" button and you will have a list of caches to look at. (You can also search a million different other ways too.) Want a map? You can throw your list of caches on a map and see where they are. Need to get there? Use the directions from the google map to navigate to the cache. Want to read the cache description, logs, hints? They are right there. Now that you are close you can fine tune your location with the "radar screen" find the cache and log it right from the app.
It really is a neat little program. It is pretty much the iphone app written for the PPC. 

I like it and use it.

Thanks for the reminder about  this cool app Gary.
