Software - GeoToad

Post by Mind Socket » 23 March 05 9:13 am

I just came across some newish geocaching software, it popped up as newly packaged for Debian linux, but purports to work under Windows too ... and it's free in both senses of the word.

I haven't tried it myself, but thought I'd pass on the info in case anyone wants to give it a go...

http://geotoad.sourceforge.net/

I'd be interested to hear other people's experience of this. From the front page there does appear to be some gc.com scraping involved, at least for non-premium members.

Cheers,

I've been running geotoad for a while (under windows).

I have .bat files that download within 200km of Melbourne (and another within 200km of Sydney). I run these batch files every couple of weeks and import the GPX file into GSAK.

A good way to get all the caches in one place at one time.

Yep, it does a "screen scrape" of GC.COM - when ever there is a format change at GC.COM the program beeds to be updated - which isn't very often.
