GeoTransformer

Geocaching is not only a fun hobby, but it also comes with manifold advantages, especially in the social aspect as it provides a simple way to connect with people from all around the Earth. The activity has come a long way and now the main geocaching app comes with numerous features to support it.

GeoTransformer is a third-party tool that acts as an aid for geocaching enthusiasts and that has the role of extending GPX files so that they can be published on GPS devices more easily. Providing users have connected to geocaching.com before, the tool ensures that they can download caches, include the modified information and copy all of it to the GPS device with just one click.

One of the benefits of the program is that it automates some of the procedures. For starters, downloading the pocket queries from geocaching.com and copying the cache photos to various Garmin GPS devices is done automatically. At the same time, the application allows users to review the loaded caches directly on Bing Ma or a table view and make any necessary modifications, including here changing the coordinates for the saved caches and adding extra hints. Another feature of the program is that it can enhance how the additional waypoints are displayed on the GPS device.
