No planning, just get up and go. You get to the place you want to cache, pull out your phone, and let it find them.""Geocache Navigator has all the features a geocacher needs to get from point A to point B and then some. I found the combination of the BlackBerry phone and the application to be a really handy tool for some well needed occasions of geocaching.""Until now I had to lug around several pieces of equipment for my geocaching, and prepare at home before I set off. Now I can geocache on the go. Brilliant. Works a treat, too! A big, big thank you to the Team!""I downloaded the software prior to a trip to Charleston, SC on my 8310. I actually wasn't expecting too much, however, when I used the product I was floored. I have been geocaching for about a year now; however, this product made it an absolute pleasure and made it spontaneous. I didn't have to worry about if I had my GPS or printed out info about caches from the website...... I just opened the program, found the caches near me and had fun.""I have been going geocaching for about 5 years or so. I always had the wish to have one program for all! I hate to prepare at home, choose the caches, print it out, and hack it into my device and so on. Now I can start the hunt whenever and wherever I want to. This is so awesome to have really everything inside my cell phone!""This is an excellent application! Although there is room for improvement in the accuracy of navigation, it gives fully new inspiration to geocaching. Simply finding out the nearest caches in my vicinity, wherever I am with my mobile phone, is cool. Great combination of phone functions, GPS, and online geocaching services." "I have an 8310. I just started geocaching a few weeks ago. My process was printing pages from www.geocaching.com then searching for the coordinates in Google Maps and turning on satellite view. This works great, but as others have said, this was a tedious process and did not allow for spontaneous searches. I have tried to log onto the website through the BB browser which was so slow that I have given up on that option. This product rocks. Thank you for developing and linking to Geocaching.com.""Yes, I'm in love with Trimble's Geocache Navigator software... To have everything in one application is more than convenient. Besides, going paperless gives me that warm, fuzzy feeling of knowing that I did something green."
