Default What Geocaching software does everyone use?

So I'm looking at gettin back into geocaching and want to get some software to help organize all of the caches I download from geocaching dot com beyond the GPS itself. I've heard of GSAK and a few others you can use on Macs, just wondering what everyone uses and what has worked best for you.

I just run pocket queries from bookmarks I make on geocaching.com. Then I delete the old ones from my gps to keep everything organized. I also have PQs for local caches so I can load them up. My phone could also be used as a quick fix if I do some spontaneous caching.

So, basically, I don't organize mine beyond the PQs and bookmark lists online.

I use an app called c:geo on my droid. It works great. You can search caches on the run and find them via compass, radar, or live map. You can store them on the phone and find them when you don't have any signal because the gps still works. I like being able to log my find right then and there.

I know this is an old thread, but the geocaching app on the iphone is sweet. I use it all the time. You can find and log a cache right from your phone. I still carry another gps with me as the iphones gps pretty much sucks.

I apologize for the delay, I forgot about this thread. I have a Mac running VMware with Windows 7, but would like something I can use for the Mac OS, but it seems like the only quality software is GSAK (PC). I use a Garmin GPS, if Delorme had something better I'd givem a try though too since I like new gadgets.

Thanks for the tip, I will check out easygps

Default C:Geo

I use C:geo app for my HTC EVO. It has changed how often i geocache. I travel for work and now when ever i am on a business trip i go find a local cache (if i have time)

It makes geocaching so easy. You can do the whole process from choosing a cache, to finding it on the map, navigate to it, find it, and log it all from your phone. I used to have to type in coordinates, or connect my gps to the computer choose caches, and download them... now it is so simple. i just have to have a pen in my pocket.

GSAK

As to GSAK, I've a buddy (ivhs72) who runs it on his Macbook without any problems. Maybe you're already there, though. I'm not up on Mac stuff at all.
