An easy to use Windows Mobile application for Geocaching via GPS

One of the main features of BasicGPS is that the application actually speaks to you, providing a range and bearing to the cache site. This is particularly useful in areas of 'high muggle activity'. You can put the phone in your pocket, use headphones, and the voice will guide you to the cache site!

Features:
- Imports cache files in GPX or LOC format from www.geocaching.com
- Provides Spoken Directions (range and bearing) from your location to the selected cache.
- Realtime cache \'Radar\' shows your location and that of the cache for quicker finds.
- Displays Distances and Altitudes in Miles/Feet or Kilometers/Meters.
- Displays Coordinates in Degrees, Minutes or Decimal Degrees format.
- Mapping via GoogleMaps: shows your location and the cache site.
- Works with Builtin or External GPS Modules via the MS Intermediate Driver.
- Displays the cache info from GPX files - including hints.
- Very Simple to use: Just point the Compass arrow at the blue box till you reach the cache!
- Setup/User Manual at www.basicgps.co.uk

OK, decimal comma has to be changed into decimal point. Annoying but worked on my HD2. Didn't import full cache names from opencache.org GPX file. Shows 11.6km on screen but voice says 25km ???

Still not working, getting the decimal error on startup on my HD2 (win 6.5, european setting)...

Bernz @ June 16th 2010 5:48 am

mark @ May 12th 2010 2:01 pm

Greg @ April 24th 2010 8:45 pm

thomas @ March 15th 2010 8:43 pm

downloaded this straight to m htc hd2 works a treat... brilliant!

very irritating to be forced to set the decimal to a point. Since I'm a continentale european I want to use a ,! To use this program I have to change my default setting in my telephone just for this program and then change it back for the normal use. Not really user-friendly in my opinion! a waste of time to installeren if you aren't angli-sachsian!

looks good hope it works.

Got the dutch HTC Diamond2. After installation there is the message that i have to change the decimalsymbol into a dot instead of a comma. To bad I can't change this setting in Configuration > setting > countrysettings. The only possibility is the comma as decimal symbol

Works very well on my HTC TP2. Quick to locate satellites (under 10 seconds provided you regularily run QuickGPS as you should be doing on a TP2). "SAVE CURRENT POSITION" works as a nice man-over-board (MOB) function. Recommended!

20 second reboot on the Touch Pro... What's up? %@#$

DebG @ November 1st 2009 6:46 pm

Downloaded directly to Treo Pro but can't find it. Where did it go??!!

RodieJack @ November 1st 2009 4:04 pm

I'm having the same problem on my Touch Pro where the phone reboots after about 20 seconds. Frustrating because this looks like a good app.

jkpsaras @ November 1st 2009 11:56 am

GPS cache funtions great on my Touch Pro. But is changes backlight dim settings each time.

adam @ October 28th 2009 10:08 pm

program will run just fine on my touch pro for about 20 seconds, then the phone will reboot. happen to anyone else?

Marcio @ October 28th 2009 3:12 pm

good

Joe R @ October 13th 2009 8:20 am

For new or seasoned Geocachers, this application is a must! It gets you very close to the cache, but you still need to narrow down your search area, giving you that challenge of looking for the cache.

Bas @ October 4th 2009 2:01 pm

Can't start the application. It says I need to change my settings. My omnia 2 uses [,] comma in stead of the necessary [.] dot...how can i change that?
