FIRST POST! Oh, right.

Welcome to the GCTool Blog, I hope to maintain this in tandem with the already wonderful wiki software provided by the Google code hosting project. Typically I don't like having all my weasels in a bucket, however Google makes it hard not to do exactly that when all you need is a gmail ID.

GCTool stands for Geocaching Tools which will be a family programs to help manage a geocaching profile of your own or stored on one of a few large geocaching web sites. Currently only a few geocaching web sites come to mind, please correct me if I miss anything.
Geocaching.com is maintained by Groundspeak Inc. who seem cool enough, however I personally wanted to do more and this project hopes extend the feature set of common geocaching web sites.

Like what you say?
  • More modern approach toward keeping waypoints and their status in sync with your profiles, including synchronization to GPS units
  • Extending your profiles reach by creating your own WAP portal for your data enabled phone and pda.
  • Publishing up-to-date waypoint status to your own Google Earth network links
Check out our project wiki for more up-to-date and slightly more moderated information!
