I Found My First Geocache Using My G1

I got a G1 recently. Great phone with a built in GPS. So now I can go geocaching.
First I got GeoBeagle (available on the Android Market) and it’s required application Radar. Then I had a moment to run accross the street from work… well okay, I drived across the bridge to the other side of the freeway… and went looking for the 77 Cemetery cache. I found it all right. Along the way I saw a baby bunny right next to the cache location, but I didn’t change to camera mode quick enough before he scampered off.
I have to say GeoBeagle works really well. Can’t compare it to the paid apps, but it does the job admirable.
Now to take Sara out with me soon.

Reverse Geocaching?

about 1 month ago - No comments

Geocaching is a really cool hobby where somebody hides a container, sometimes so small it only fits a tiny bit of paper for a log all the way up to ammo cans (sometimes larger). They then post the coordinates of the container on a geocaching website where other people then try to find it. One

Okay I Have a G1, but I Could Still Use a Good Handheld GPS

I love geocaching with my G1 using GeoBeagle. It is a great phone with GPS abilities, and of course GeoBeagle is the best program out there for the Android platform for geocaching (plus, it’s free). However, there are times when you exceed the ability to use the program, especially if you need a map to

I made my first Wiki entry/edit today over at Cacheopedia. I made an entry on how to use GeoBeagle. Hopefully others will come along and help fill in what I left out.

Lots of New Caches Found Using My G1 and GeoBeagle

about 1 year ago - No comments

I have now found a total of 11 caches, 6 of which have been using my T-Mobile G1, and GeoBeagle that I downloaded off the Android Market. I have to say I find that the G1 does really well in the cover of woods. Far better than I expected. GeoBeagle is my favorite Android app

There are some really cool Android phones coming out soon. The HTC Magic, the Samsung i7500 which has tons of onboard storage and a really cool screen, but both of those lack one key thing, a physical keyboard, with which you could use: Okay before people get too excited, per the guy’s website, you will

Revisiting Android Development

about 1 year ago - No comments

That is a screenshot of a basic Hello World application I did for Android… Well, I followed the lesson to make it so it isn’t an original… Anyhow, this is what it would look like on a G1, or other Android based phone. I thought I would see if I could get into Android development

Android, is a cool mobile phone (and laptop, etc.) platform. T-Mobile has the G1 out right now, and there are a couple more phones coming out soon from them, and we should see some coming from other carriers this year as well (probably not AT&T and Verizon as they don’t like not controlling the market,

Rethinking Which GPSr to Get and Garmin and DeLorme Announce New GPSrs

about 2 years ago - 1 comment

I have decided to either go for a DeLorme (yes, the same company that makes the large street atlas you may have in your car or elsewhere) PN-40 (noted below) or the PN-20 $349.99 at Amazon (link above), but that includes topographic maps of the country, which can be used for full road routing. 1GB

Good Geocaching Day

Ari and I went geocaching Saturday (Sara decided to stay home and have some Sara time) and Ari played a bit in the park. We still don’t have a GPS, so I still rely on Google Maps or Google Earth to locate things before I leave the house. First we went for and got, The

A MySpace, Facebook Application for the Google Android Phone

about 2 years ago - No comments

I talked how I was wanting to learn Java, so I could start making programs for the Android mobile phone platform. A project that I thought of, but is perhaps beyond my ability for any time soon, is an application that will tie in with MySpace, Facebook and expendable to other social network websites. Basically,
