Geocaching is an outdoor treasure hunting game that uses GPS devices. Participants navigate to a specific set of GPS coordinates (the geocache) and attempt to find a container hidden at that location. This container may include a reward for the participant. The result of this experience is to share your geocaching stories on-line and to have fun and enjoy the nature.

TwoNav provides you all the necessary tools to practice paperless geocaching. Geocaching tools are centralized at:
•‘Main menu > Files > Geocaching’
Work with geocaching files like as any other waypoints file, although geocaches include extra information comparing to normal waypoints. Among information, you can check notes from other users (logs) or even create your own notes:
•Geocache currently set as destination: ‘Main menu > Files > Geocaching > Field notes’.
•Any geocache: ‘Main menu > Files > Waypoint > Properties > Field notes’.
Fields notes are saved inside 'Geocache_visits.txt'. This file allows you to easily upload your fields notes to any geocaching server from internet such as http://www.geocaching.com
NOTE: From ‘Main menu > Settings > Full settings > Map page > Objects on map > POIs & Geocaches > Hide found geocaches’, you will be able to show/hide current geocaches. Geocaches which have been labelled as ‘Found geocache’, will not appear in the list. By doing this, there will be no need to see geocaches that were previously found.
In order to be fully compatible with paperless geocaching, waypoints’ file must contain geocaching extensions providing information about the geocache (description, difficulty, terrain…). TwoNav can open the following geocaching formats:

NOTE: *.LOC files will also be listed when choosing a geocaching destination, but these files cannot be considered as fully compatible with geocaching because they do not include geocaching extensions, so extra information as description or field notes will not be available.
