SmartGPX - GPX in your Pocket
Pocket Query viewer for Symbian OS Smartphones !
SmartGPX
SmartGPX is a geocaching.com Pocket Query viewer for Symbian OS based smartphones. It is designed to be as simple as possible. You can hold your GPS receiver in one hand and your Symbian OS device in the other hand to view your location and the cache description at the same time. The current version of SmartGPX is in a kind of ALPHA state but I use it for quite a long time now and maybe other Symbian users might find it usable too.
Features of the current version:
Read Pocket Queries in GPX format available for Premium Members at geocaching.com.
Opened GPX files from filesystem (phone memory on C:\ or memory card on E:\).
Opened GPX files from Messages inbox when received via eMail or Bluetooth (1).
Show all caches in an overview list with information about cache type, TB inside, found.
Cache list order by name, waypoint name (GCxxxx), distance, difficulty, date hidden, date of last log.
Show cache description in a detail view as plain text and HTML with other information (2).
Show hints encrypted and decrypted.
Show logs entered for a cache.
Show travelbugs contained in a cache
Read current position from Bluetooth connected GPS receiver (1). This is very limited feature and only usable for retrieving the home position and for order by distance.
Enter additional notes for caches.
(1) Only for S60 2nd edtion because this feature requires Symbian Signing
(2) Images are currenlty not displayed, thus some information could be lost when contained in pictures.
Limitations of the ALPHA version:
Only basic functionality
Limited support of HTML content
Pocket Queries should contain only up to 100-200 entries. Larger files would cause out of memory errors. This is a device restriction on e.g. 6630, 6680 and smaller 3rd edition devices.
No real usage of connected or built-in GPS receivers
No usage of GPS on 3rd edition phones.
Available only in English
Some planned features for next versions
Open links in cache descriptions with web browser.
Open link to the cache on geocaching.com.
Better HTML support.
Filter cache list by size, type, owner etc.
Better search functionality.
Better usage of GPS receivers and support of GPS receivers on 3rd edition devices also.
Database for trackable items.

Compatible Devices: 3rd edition (N73, N80, E61, N95 etc.)
