GeoToad
GeoToad is a geocaching query tool to help speed up the boring part of geocaching: choosing the cache and collecting the data. It allows you to generate any kind of complex query you want, and the program will go and poll the Geocaching query, grab the data, and output it to any format you want. The Geocache info can be synced straight to your GPS, iPod, PDA, or cell phone in over 20 different formats.

Release Notes: This marks the final GeoToad release in the 3.14 series. It fixes documentation issues and adds another query type and selection by attributes. Past events are marked as unavailable, and coordinates are output with a maximum of six decimal places. Development will continue in the 3.15 series only. Version 3.15.5 (experimental, but already in wide use) has been released in parallel. It supports multiple accounts and cookie re-use, language and date format settings, freezing of cached descriptions, and better cleanup.

Almost exactly one year after the gc.com site update which broke "early filtering" by Difficulty/Terrain/cacheSize from search results, we are proud to present GeoToad 3.14.7 which re-introduces this feature, adds search result limiting, and fixes a few minor issues.
As a bonus, Mac OS X packaging is back - hopefully the package will work on OSX versions prior to 10.6 (the version used for the build).
Please go directly to the GoogleCode download page until the links on this page are fixed.
There's also an update to the development version, now at 3.15.2 - attempts have been made to understand more foreign languages, and respect the user's date format preference.
See the GeoToad wiki for more details.
There's a new release out - 3.14.6 fixes the login issue that was triggered by the Oct 6 site update.
(Apologies that the "What's new" list may have been broken by past updates.)
Until the links on this page have been updated please visit code.google.com/p/geot...
There's also a 3.15.1 with enhanced functionality (which is tagged Development and not Featured) but still in beta testing. Caveat emptor.
For more than two weeks, there's an incomplete set of GeoToad 3.14.5 packages available. MacOS isn't part of them yet which is why there hasn't been an announcement here yet.
There is also a development branch now (3.15.x) which for obvious reasons won't be linked to from here.
