GCBuddy - geocaching13.2 - App Store

GCBuddy is the perfect tool for the serious geocacher when solving multi-caches. With this application you can record all found values for A...Z and use them to automatically calculate new waypoint coordinates. The final cache coordinates are also calculated as soon as all required puzzles have been solved and entered. You can also record the exact spot where you parked your car or bike, so you can find it back after caching.

FIRST LOOK: To get an idea of the functionality, read the Quick Start Guide on the gcbuddy.com website.
