GPX2iPod is a software designed for Mac users who own iPods and want to store geocaching information without the need for a PDA. It provides a paperless caching solution for geocachers on-the-go.
If you're a Mac user who loves geocaching and owns an iPod but not a PDA, then the gpx2ipod software is perfect for you! This paperless caching software will allow you to batch-convert your pile of .gpx files into plain text files, with lightning-fast speed that can cut your prep time down to a few minutes.
The software comes with a bunch of handy features that make geocaching a breeze. For example, it can handle both individual and Pocket Query (multiple-cache).gpx files, and the cache files will be displayed alphabetically on your iPod for easy access in the field. Additionally, gpx2ipod can inject generated text files directly into your iPod, or into a local "output" folder that you can use for other purposes.
One of the best things about gpx2ipod is that it's a Terminal application (shell script), but you don't need any shell experience to use it. You can run it painlessly with a double-click, which makes it super user-friendly. The software is available both with and without the gpsbabel command-line binary bundled. gpsbabel is licenced under the GPL, so gpx2ipod is also GPL-licensed.
To use the software, you'll need to have gpsbabel 1.3.4 or higher installed on your Mac. If you're wondering what's new in the latest release of gpx2ipod, there are several exciting updates. For example, the project has been renamed to "gpx2ipod", and it now requires gpsbabel 1.3.4 or higher. The software takes advantage of the new gpsbabel "splitoutput" feature, which overcomes the cut command's 99-split limit. It's now much more user-friendly, with a double-clickable interface and a config file that stores user preferences. The latest update also allows you to optionally copy original .gpx files into an "archive" folder for future use.
Overall, if you're a Mac-based geocacher with an iPod, gpx2ipod is a must-have software for making your caching experience even better!
