GeoBuddy
|
Geocaching software with built-in topo maps and aerial photos. GeoBuddy is a complete planning, mapping, and GPS data management program, written especially for geocachers. GeoBuddy displays all of the geocaches in your area, as well as your own personal GPS data, over USGS topo maps, aerial photos, and your own scanned paper trail and road maps.
Unlike other geocaching utilities, GeoBuddy is a complete geocaching solution. GeoBuddy displays all of the geocaches in your area, as well as your own personal GPS data, over USGS topo maps, aerial photos, and your own scanned paper trail and road maps. A built-in Web browser lists all of the information about each geocache, including pictures and hints left by the cache owner, and logs by recent visitors to the geocache. No other software gives you the maps, tools, and resources you need in one easy-to-use, integrated, package.
You can send geocaches, along with routes to guide you from the parking lot to the final cache location, to your GPS. After you return home, GeoBuddy will display the tracklog from your days hike over the map, and allow you to log all the geocaches you found.
GeoBuddy uses your Internet connection to retrieve topo maps and aerial photos of each geocache location, saving the maps to your hard drive. You can pan the maps around and zoom in close to find the best locations to park, and to identify obstacles (marshes, streams) between you and the geocache.
If you own a laptop, you can even use GeoBuddy as a moving-map display in your car, showing your position in real-time on the map as you approach.
