The Geocaching Blackberry
Trimble recently announced the release of the Geocache Navigator software application for the Blackberry. Now, by using Geocache Navigator, Blackberry users will be able to join in on the world-wide fun of Geocaching!
GeocacheNavigator is presently the only application that brings Geocaching capabilities to the mobile phone market and provides real time access to Geocaching.com
Developed by Trimble, a world leader in GPS technologies and a supporter of the international Cache In Trash Out Day, in partnership with Geocaching.com, Geocache Navigator lets you use your Blackberry to connect to the world’s largest cache database, select a Geocache to look for, view the Geocache location on an aerial, topographic or street map, home in on the cache and also mark your Geocaches as lost or found.
In addition to the Blackberry, the Geocache Navigator application runs on a variety of phones from several carriers. You can find a full list of supported phones here.
For a limited time Trimble is offering a free fully functional 30 day pre-release trial! -
Now, all you need for Geocaching is your Blackberry or a GPS enabled phone and the Geocache Navigator software. Just download, click to find the nearest cache, and you’re on your way!
We expect this to be just a beginning of new GPS and Geocaching applications available as more and more phones become GPS enabled. Subsequently, this will add tremendous growth to an already growing sport.
Keep on cachin’!


As soon as I saw the announcement I downloaded GeocacheNavigator to my Curve, it looks pretty good. But what we (BlackBerry cachers) really need is an offline GPX reader for the BlackBerry. I don’t know about others but where I cache there’s usually very little if any wireless service so no phone/pda access to maps or geocaching.com. I can still create Mobipocket ebooks using GSAK but that’s cumbersome and no way near as nice as GPX view for windows mobile or cachemate for the Palm.
It’s too bad that Verizon isn’t supported yet… It would be great if it were!
I agree with Rich. An offline reader would be great. This is a feature I really miss when I had to switch from Palm to Blackberry. If there is a reader please let me know where I can get it.
Maybe cacheberry is a program that will suit you. http://www.cacheberry.com
