Features & Capabilities

GCBuddy is the perfect tool for the serious geocacher when solving multi-caches. With this application you can record all found values for A...Z and use them to automatically calculate new waypoint coordinates. The final cache coordinates are also calculated as soon as all required puzzles have been solved and entered. You can also record the exact spot where you parked your car or bike, so you can find it back after caching.

FIRST LOOK: To get an idea of the functionality, read the Quick Start Guide on the gcbuddy.com website.

  • Management of multiple caches in a list of downloaded caches

This new version is very confusing. Please bring back the old version.

Have been using for some time and it is great for travel. I search the area I intend to go to for the best caches there, load them into GC Buddy and I am all set. Once I get there I search my list by distance, and there they are! Also nice to save info in the notes section and approach a difficult cache later. BUT: need to be able to see the ghost icon ( it posts these a traditional icon) and also to see favorite points shown other than just the first time you load it. ( you can't see FPs later) thanks!
