GeoGet

In a world governed by an ever-changing environment, the expression “Location-Location-Location” is more present than ever. The geographical industry experiences a continuous expansion and so are its corresponding processes and techniques. One of these is geocaching, and GeoGet is an app designed specifically for managing geographical point locations and their inherent characteristics, be it attributes or coordinates.

Different users often means different approaches to a single idea, process and in the end, consequent outcome. The developers of this app clearly paid attention to this aspect, as multiple features can be accessed from various menus and tasks such as importing or editing point data can be performed in multiple ways.

The layout promotes a logical workflow, especially for those who aren’t fully accustomed to working with geographical data into such a context.

One impressive feature that becomes apparent rather quickly in terms of performance, is this program’s computing power. When loading country-wide point datasets, often in the range of 4000-5000 items per file, the app performed flawlessly and we weren’t able to discern any lags or sluggish behavior.

When going past the basic, geographical point editing tools, the app does come prepared with an impressive array of features for various purposes: database management, data filtering, geocaching and reverse geocaching, as well as a rather novel addition, live geocaching.

This program addresses a slightly narrow user segment, and its emphasis on geocaching and handling text string type point location data means that it will be of good use to those who are familiarized with such techniques. Thanks to its compact yet comprehensive properties, it could be a valuable tool in managing geographical point data.
