Batch-converts a pile of .gpx files to plain text for use with the iPod's "Notes" feature.
Super-fast - cut your geocaching prep time to a few minutes.
gpx2ipod handles both individual and Pocket Query (multiple-cache).gpx files.
Cache files will display alphabetically on the iPod for easy access in the field.
gpx2ipod can inject generated text files directly into your iPod (most users) or into a local "output" folder (you might not have an iPod but might still want the text files for other purposes).
gpx2ipod is a Terminal application (shell script), but can be run painlessly with a double-click -- no shell experience required.
gpx2ipod is available either with or without the gpsbabel command-line binary bundled. gpsbabel is licenced under the GPL, and thus so is gpx2ipod. See LICENSE for info.
Who this is for
• You're a Mac user who has an iPod but not a PDA.
• You want to do paperless geocaching.
• You want complete descriptions, log entries and hints while out on the trail.
• Your iPod has this great "Notes" feature, but you haven't found any OS X software to get GPX files into a format you can read in the iPod's Notes reader. MacCaching is wonderful, but it outputs to the iPod's "Contacts" system, which means no logs and no choice of whether to encrypt hints. It also intermingles hundreds of geocache data files with your existing pile of Contacts - very messy. GPSBabel+ has a similar "Export to v-card feature" with similar problems. The iPod's "Notes" feature seems a much better choice to me.
