GeoScout 2.0.2
[Only registered and activated users can see links]
GeoScout is designed to be the only software you need to go geocaching. You can download/import, view and manage all caches of interest.
With a connection to a suitable GPS, GeoScout can also guide you to the cache waypoint(s).
GeoScout can create cache details direct from the geocaching website or import existing gpx or loc files.
Features:
Download cache details direct from the geocaching website (requires suitable internet connection).
Import cache details from gpx or loc files
View cache details.
Show decrypted hints at the tap of a button.
Add secondary waypoints for navigating to multi-stage / offset caches.
Maintain record of caches you have found.
Works with any NMEA compatible GPS, including BlueTooth devices.
Sophisticated GPS screen showing position and satellite status.
Navigate mode shows bearing and distance to cache waypoint.
Conversion of waypoint locations between lat/long, OSGB, UTM, MGRS etc.
Travel bug management features.
System requirements (version 2.x):
Microsoft Pocket PC (Windows CE 3.0 or later) with touchscreen
NET Compact Framework version 3.5
Sql Server Compact Edition 3.5
500KB memory for program files (may require additional memory for data files)
NMEA compatible GPS (for GPS functions)
GeoScout Version 2.0.2 prototype - updated 12 January 2009
This is a prototype / beta version 2 product. Although this has been tested extensively, it may contain bugs.
It has been designed for Windows Mobile 6.x devices (or other devices capable of installing .NET Compact Framework 3.5 and SQL Server Compact 3.5).
This application uses a database to store cache details (rather than xml files) which will allow more flexible searches and better performance when a large number of caches are used.
Existing xml based caches will need to be loaded into the database using the new "Folder" import option.
Map tiles will also need to be relocated into a hierarchical folder structure to allow a larger number of map files to be handled.
