For those of you at the Team Badger Breakfast who were interested in using and iPod for caching, here are some links:
MacCaching – This is the software I have been using. It is for Mac OS X.
Cache Magnet – Software mentioned by DCexplorer in another thread. It is a Windows app.
That set up you showed us was way cool. Thanks for the links.
A question…. Do you have the ability to write a note for each cache found also mark a cache as found then go back and filter out all other caches execpt for the finds? Like cachemate with a PDA.

No. These apps simply take cache descriptions from your queries and put them into the notes or contacts feature on the iPods. They are easily searchable, and great for reference in the field, but there is no note-taking/cache marking feature (My Garmin 60CSx has a feature that lets me mark caches as found, so I don’t need another device doing that). It’d be pretty hard to take notes on most iPods anyhow, because all iPods prior to the Touch used the click-wheel for input.
This is far from a killer app… but it is an excellent way to go “paperless” using equipment so many people have laying around. heck, bring the iPod geocaching, and you can even use it to play music while driving 🙂
I really like it when there are other cheaper options to display cache info other than having to buy a Palm, pocket PC or a new expensive GPS.
I have used my Sony PSP to display caches, since it has a built in web browser I just did a simple HTML export from GSAK and copy the files to the Memory stick.
