Geocache Navigator by TrimbleI found this piece of software earlier on this year, and I now use my Nokia N95 with this software more than I use my handheld GPS. The software is free to download, and only requires you to register on their website and link it to your geocache account. It is currently supported on BlackBerry and Nokia phones, but have a look on their website for full details. http://www.geocachenavigator.com In a nut shell, the software will use your built in GPS on your phone to find your location. It then uses you’re internet connection on your phone to query the geocaching website for any caches that are close to your current GPS co-ordinates. You can then see them in a list and choose which one you would like to hunt. You can log your visit to the cache directly from you phone, and move on to hunting the next one. The software also supports you inputting the co-ordinates directly, and has support for the 3 major formats of co-ordinates. This is a fantastic product for on the go geocaching and allows you to cache anywhere in the world without having to search manually on the geocaching website for a cache, then write down all the details to put into your GPS. It’s also very convenient considering you always have your phone on you, but you don’t always have your GPS unit.

Unfortunately it looks like those greedy people are now starting to charge for the download. So it aint free no more. SHAME ON THEM
It is a shame they are now charging… I see it’s now $30 to get the app, however, if you are an avid geocacher and you end up doing this often, it does save a TON of time trying to find them. It’s certainly easier to search for caches directly from your phone rather than having to plan your cache hunting, downloading all the details of the web, printing them, then having to type in the co-ords into your GPS. This is still the easiest, quickest and most convienient way to find them.
It’s still a shame that they are now charging though
