GeoToad Description

GeoToad provides a geocaching query tool. GeoToad provides a geocaching query tool.GeoToad is a geocaching query tool to help speed up the boring part of geocaching: choosing the cache and collecting the data. It allows you to generate any kind of complex query you want, and the program will go and poll the Geocaching query, grab the data, and output it to any format you want. The Geocache info can be synced straight to your GPS, iPod, PDA, or cell phone in over 20 different formats. Here are some key features of "GeoToad": · Query Types We allow you to query based on most all the information available in a geocache: · zipcode, state, coordinates · distance from zipcode or coordinates · filter by difficulty minimum/maximum · filter by terrain minimum/maximum · filter by "fun factor", which uses Bayesian analysis to determine if the comments for the geocache reflect it's level of fun. · keyword search (not just the title!) · filter out caches that have or have not been completed by certain people (usually yourself) · filter by whether or not a cache has ever been found · filter by the date the cache was placed · filter by the date the cache was last found · filter by travelbug · Devices Through our various file format support, we allow you to upload your query output to a wide array of devices: · Any GPS Unit · Palm PDA's via CacheMate or other tools. · PocketPC · Apple iPod · Cellphone's, such as the Sony-Ericsson P800. · You may want to checkout the screenshots section to see how the output looks like on various devices. Output Formats (Native): · GPX XML - for GPS units via EasyGPS or gpsbabel · web page (HTML) - for portable devices or a web browser · plain text · csv - for spreadsheet imports · delorme - for DeLorme Topo · gpspoint - gpspoint datafile · MapTech Exchange · OziExplorer · U.S. Census Bureau Tiger Mapping Service Data · GpsDrive · vcf - contact format, for use with iPod's, PDA's or cellphones · easygps - legacy format for EasyGPS · Tabbed output - for GPS Connect Output Formats through gpsbabel: If you have gpsbabel installed on your machine, and in the local path, we can make use of many more formats: · Cetus for PalmOS · Navitrak DNA marker · GPSman datafile · GPSPilot for PalmOS · gpsutil · Holux gm-100 · Magellan NAV Companion for PalmOS · Magellan MapSend software · Garmin PCX5 · Microsoft PocketStreets 2002 Pushpin · TopoMapPro Places · National Geographic Topo · Delorme Topo USA4/XMap Conduit Output Formats through cmconvert: · If you have cmconvert installed on your machine, and in the local path, we can export data to CacheMate .pdb format for your Palm Pilot. · Other Cool Stuff · GeoToad uses a new P2P webpage caching system named shadowfetch. This makes it so that people who use GeoToad actually share their results with other users. This, along with time delays, helps the fine folks at Geocaching.com keep their bandwidth costs down and their CPU cycles lower. What's New in This Release: · This release adds a new filter (cacheType). · It has been synced with the latest changes to the Geocaching.com website. · Broken ampersand munging for XML output types (GPX and KML) has been fixed, and there is improved behaviour when run in disconnected mode.
