July 1, 2009 - iGeoCacher 2.0 submitted to the App Store!
Note: It seems that the graphics (screen shots) on iTunes aren't version specific so when I uploaded the 2.0 screenshots with the 2.0 submission, the screen shots on iTunes for 1.18 were updated too. Hopefully they'll release the 2.0 version this week and things will be back in synch. If not, just understand that the screen shots on iTunes are an advance preview of the UI makeover in 2.0
April 17, 2009 - iGeoCacher 1.18 in the App Store!
(Note: If you are updating from a version prior to 1.11 you need to delete the app entirely from your iPhone/iPod as the DB has changed. By deleting the app and reinstalling it you will ensure that you get a fresh copy with the new fields. Don't worry if it looks like iTunes is asking you to buy the app. They know you bought it already and should not charge you again.)
Be sure and come join the Yahoo group for tips from the community.
It features local storage of cache data in a built in SQLite DB which makes it possible for iPod Touch owners to join the fun and complete integration with the built in GPS for 3G phones.
The web app will continue to be available for any that may be using it with pre 2.0 iPhones or even other mobile devices so have no fear. Existing web app users will find their existing cache database will transfer seamlessly to the new software as well.

The iGeocacher is a small application that allows me (and you) to parse the data in a set of geocaching files in .loc or .gpx format and then display them via a web application in the safari browser on your iPhone. The lat/lon coordinates are coupled to the Google maps function so that you just touch the icon or link on the desired target and you'll see it depicted on Google maps. Just touch the directions button and get detailed driving instructions to your waypoint
