Hi All,
Is ther a Application for using www.geocaching.com with the nice S740?
it have all what we need for that UseCase:
- build in GPS
- enough Memory
- enough CPU Power
- brideband internet access (UMTS)
now i nee only the Software for finding geo-caches and more from geocaching.com
any ideas?

Geocaching
Try one of this:
gpsVP http://code.google.com/p/gpsvp/
LOCIFY http://www.locify.com
Hi Motoba,
thanks for your info, but both software dont working together with geocaching.com
:-(
any other ideas?
gpsVP is not for geocaching only. I select waypoints on my PC, save them to WPT file. Transfer WPT to mobile and open in gpsVP. Info about geocaches is saved in HTM files on mobile too.
Locify has support for geocaching, but it is not easy to make it work on Rose.
I found another application for geocaching yesterday. It is GCzII http://www.nicque.com/PQz/GCz.htm. It is for touch screen devices, but only few things do not work. I sended mail to program maker, to add support for non-touchscreen.
Great! exactly what I need.
thanks
GREAT!! now (from the Release Notes)
- Windows Mobile Starndard Edition support.
(Non touch screen version)
seen on: http://www.nicque.com/PQz/GCz.htm
Hi All,
On my Diamond i use Oziexplorer CE for viewing and using landmaps (I think thats the English word, the Dutch word is "stafkaarten." Please correct me if i'm wrong).
I was wondering if there is an app for android that can do the same. I'll be receiving my hero any day now and this is the last app i need to replace.
Many thanks in advance.
If there isn't any, thats allright too. Then at least i can stop searching
Google maps or Route 66
don't know of anything (Google Maps or Route66 or CoPilot or whatever is NO alternative for OziExplorer ).
Did you try asking the authors of OziExplorer if they have an Android build in the back of their heads somewhere?
Maybe this can be interesting?

sounds interestimg, ill try ...
did some tests with ownmap, but the map utility doesnt work and devs are not responding to mail
P.S: Looks promising, however, there are certain challenges with the conversion of ozi files, some segments are distorted and its about 200m away from the actual point ... In ozi, the maps are very precise. Will test and do some research, I'm shure, theres a solution to the 'minor' problems
Well, the month of august in Spain is the "hollidays month" and for this reason it's possible that developers are absents.
I like Oziexplorer and CompeGPS with my Windows Mobile PDA, and I will try change to Android with a new PDA HTC Hero and test this software Oruxmaps in it.
Greetings
OruxMaps
Obviously I did a mistake in converting, a second try lead a to much better calibration. First impression is very good, OruxMaps shows my position and let me record tracks and logfiles, I can set waypoints and follow a route (not tested yet). First wish: a tool to lock the keys and blank the screen to save energy why tracking a hike ... But as said, very promising application
looks very promising indeed. Does anyone know how to convert ozfx3 files to be used in this app??

never tried it, as I have the original files ...
but you might try demapper from terraperfecta
Can't download it from the market. Known issue?
I've created an Android application called Viamici for which you do not need a PC to calibrate a map - you can do it on a phone
New ideas for Ozi or substitute on Android?
Does anybody know about new developements on the problem: Running Ozi on an android-device?
Next wekk I visit the USA and will buy a Nexus One. It would be great if I could go on with all my Ozi-calibrated maps. Thanks for any idea!
"We are currently doing trials and evaluating whether we will develop an Android version." - http://www.oziexplorer3.com/ozice/faq_os.html
Some encouragement from our side would not be bad: [email protected]
Encouraging?
and this was Ozi's answer to my encouragement last week:
"An Android version will not be available for a considerable time."
Ozi Explorer replacement
Hi all,
Some time ago I wrote crossplatform library for reading Ozi Explorer maps
(_ttp://code.google.com/p/swampex/) and Ozi Explorer equivalent for Linux
(_ttp://code.google.com/p/ozex/) - and even used it in offroad competitions.
Moreover, I started project for Android and got a development version.
(_ttp://code.google.com/p/yozi/).
Unfortunately, it was discontinued due to the lack of time, but if someone want to take a part in development - please contact me.
BTW, I'm rare visitor of xda forum, so e-mail will be preferred way.
Best wishes.
yozi: replacement for ozi explorer on android
I've decided to reinvent the wheel and released alpha version of yozi - Ozi Explorer replacement for Android OS.
Features:
- Topographic maps rendering (ozf2/ozfx3 formats)
- Maps automatic load for a current location
- Switching between more/less detailed maps for a currend location
- Movement tracking using internal GPS receiver
- Import waypoints from GPX, KML, WPT files
- Show waypoint on Radar screen
- Shared waypoints database with RMaps2 application
- Worldwide search for places by name using Google's API (requires network access). You can search for a city, street, lake or river and view it's location on your topographic map.
Can be downloaded here (sorry, I'm novice here and can't post direct URLs yet):
_ttp://code.google.com/p/yozi/
Yozi works great!! It reads directly the Ozi maps files used in the Pocket PC/Windows Mobile Oziexplorer. There is no need to convert the files using a Desktop computer. Like the Windows Mobile version YOZI can read ozf2/ozfx3 files. These can be converted from other format using the normal desktop version of OziExplorer.
Congratulations!
I really recommend it to everybody. Easy, simple and clear app:
http://code.google.com/p/yozi/
BTW: Why is it not yet in the Market?

Hope you'll enjoy the app
Hi,
I am looking for an android app able to log GPS data like coordinates, altitude, current speed and would be nice if also the GPS accuracy/number of satellites. Many GPS apps are able to display these data, but not to log them.
Reason is that while doing a monitoring (no matter if helicopter, car or on foot), there is a variable accuracy of the coordinates and so this also influences the measurement results and the output maps. So it would be helpful to know these data to take this into consideration.
I am currently using Oruxmaps, but it logs only date/time, position and elevation and not the other data. Also found Geopaparazzi, however it exports only to KMZ which I currently cannot read - prefer GPX, KML or something simple like CSV which I can later use in some GIS programs like Quantum GIS.
One user on Stackexchange recommended me Sport Tracker (originally developed by Nokia) but it looks like it is not possible to export some usable output without having the phone online and connected to their website. This is problem for me, because I need something able to export the data to phone card directly.
My last chance is currently Antimap Log which I will surely try, but would also appreciate your experiences and recommendations.
thanks
PS: also found app called Aspara, which should be able to log NMEA data directly to SD cards so will check it too.

KMZ files can be converted to GPX. Also can be converted to KML, following these simple steps:
Change the extension from KMZ to ZIP.
Unzip the file.
You'll get a KML file
thanks,
this is strange. I already explored the KMZ file on my desktop using 7zip and it simply refused to extract the KML file so I though there is something special with the compression etc.
However, just now tried the same on my phone and Total Commander did it without problems. Unfortunately the KML file from Geopaparazzi contains only coordinates - no other data like speed etc. so it is even less usable for me than Oruxmaps.
OK, will continue my search.

Hi to all.
I need for outdoor activities a GPS app that can use downloaded cached maps from Google earth, or satelite view in google maps (not with street names). If someone remembers, just like GPSSportTracker for WinMo 6.x devices was (it used a PC program from which you could download needed maps, and copy them to your device...download helper I think was it's name)

I'm looking for a great syncronisation app (free or paid). I would like to have a folder on my pc in which I place files (docs, music, ...) and then these files get syncronised to all of my Android devices. I know that Dropbox or Box provide these services, but I'm looking for a specific app that can store these files in a specific, selected folder on my SD card (so that all files are offline accessible, music will be in my library on my phone automatic, ...) I also would like it if this would happen automatic, so no tagging each file for offline storage. Is there an app that can do this? Or will I be able to use my standard cloudservice app, CloudCube, for this (I can't seem to find this setting, but I really enjoy this app!) ? Thank you very much in advance.
