Geocaching Australia

I noticed today that the new update of c:geo added support for extremcaching.com; so I decided to have a closer look at what that meant and I discovered that c:geo does have support for a number of other sites including opencaching.com.

From my own experience, I started caching using a Windows Mobile and copying cache information to it using GSAK. When using GSAK, I would have both GC and GCA caches loaded.

I've done a bit of research and have seen that there are four types of receivers - bluetooth, USB, Serial and Jacket. I would prefer a jacket one, but don...
