pimped geocaching

more useful greasemonkey-scripts for geocaching.com are linked on cachews.de

hopefully, groundspeak will have a look at their functionality and pimp geocaching.com…

geocaching 2.0

some tools that make cacher’s life easier:

firefox search plugin

geocaching with your iphone blog entry (german)

iphone online-app (this one is useful for every browser, since it provides an extremely fast frontend to the groundspeak-database, not only on mobile devices like the iphone…)

clean garmin nüvi favorites

and keep your valuable adressbook…

the nüvi lacks a possibility to delete a specific type of waypoints, e.g. all geocaches. this is particularly annoying when you have uploaded a collection of geocaches and want to remove them again, becaus they mess up your addressbook… this command keeps your adresses and builds a new GPX file from them:

cat Current.gpx | sed 's,<wpt[^>]*><name>[^<]*</name><desc>[^<]*</desc><sym>[^<]*</sym></wpt>,,g ; s,<trk>.*</trk>,,g' > cleaned.gpx

then delete favorites on the device and copy the new gpx-file to /Garmin/GPX/Current.gpx
