    Actually, the easiest approach is probably to make a macro to add the attributes in a log, which can be included in the GPX download. I was looking at this this morning. Doesn’t look too tough to achieve. You could also theoretically add them to the cache description, but that would require that you lock the cache after adding to prevent reloads from erasing them.

    I’m assuming this is theoretically done through use of GSAK?

    To solve the erase issue, dump the attributes into the “Notes” of GSAK. It treats them as the very first log entry and it does not erase them when you load a new GPX file. I can still see some logistical issues with that — like when new caches are added having to regenerate the note but not duplicating them and it also means you cannot keep notes about a cache for fear of overwriting them.

    I just found out that the newest release of Geosphere (2.2) on my iTouch now displays the attributes in a separate tab. It looks like this was released on 5/22/10, but it’s a very nice addition in this release.

    It’s the caching application I use for the iTouch.

    Technically correct, but I’ve got “mobile” attributes.

    I like Geosphere much more than the GC app.
