Geocaching for BlackBerry10
Spring is here and summer is approaching. Perfect time for Geocaching :D
Even though I'm a Garmin-Cacher it's sometimes great to have an App for your smartphone. That (and feedback from other BB 10 users) is why I decided to finally develop a native BlackBerry 10 Geocaching app. Hope I won't develop it just for me ;)
My idea is to provide a similar experience to Garmin devices (sorry about Magellan, DeLorme or other GPSr users, I never had them so don't know if they have a better experience):
- Paperless/offline caching
- Show geocaches on map
- List+search geocaches
- Send&Receive (via NFC, Bluetooth, Sharing,…)
- Waypoints (Mark, Sight 'N Go, Average, …)
- Fieldnotes
- 1 Active Cache (Quick access to Details, Compass, Map)
That's the basic features currently planned.
Currently no plans for direct online integration with geocaching.com or opencaching.de/uk/us/… or opencaching.com (multiple source integration is unfortunately not possible with geocaching.com as they required developers to be the only source :(). Maybe later or with some other mechanism (e.g. push caches to the phone using a browser add-on).
Any suggestions are appreciated and if reasonable will make it into a future (or an even earlier) release :D
PS. those who are wondering about my other dev projects: Telegram got a lot of bad reviews from security experts so I decided to put it on hold for now until those claims are worked out (ok, I'm still working on it but lowest priority ;)).
Concerning trakt.tv client: still working on it but lower priority than Geocaching.
