Groundspeak's Geocaching iPhone Application
Geocaching
is a global treasure hunting game where participants locate hidden containers, called
geocaches, outdoors and then share their experience online.
Groundspeak's Geocaching iPhone Application Features:
- Direct access to Geocaching.com's database of worldwide geocaches
- Search by current location, address or lookup code
- Access geocache details, including description, hint and recent logs
- Save geocache listing for quick retrieval
- Navigate to geocaches with a simulated compass arrow
- Look up trackable item detail, including item goals, while on the trail
Future updates will include logging geocache finds and filtering your hides and
finds from the Geocaching.com search results.
Supported Devices
Groundspeak's Geocaching Application is best supported by the iPhone 3G but it is
also compatible with the iPod Touch and 1st generation iPhones.
Please note: You will need Wi-Fi access for the application to work on the iPod
Touch. Also, without GPS, compass navigation will not work on the 1st generation
iPhone.
How it works
The iPhone 3G uses a combination of GPS, Wi-Fi positioning and cell towers to determine
your approximate location. Groundspeak's iPhone Application then queries the Geocaching.com
database in real-time and provides a list of geocaches near you. The application
can also geocode addresses, search using a location from your address book, or look
up a geocache by it's GC code.
