The second new feature is CacheMaps! Click the “Show Maps” button to see a cache on a Google Map. Automatically the 5 closest caches will also be displayed.

YouTube Video: Demo of 1.0’s Features

On October 31, 2006 CMiYC Labs released the first version of MacCaching. The first 12 hours it was available for download, fifty people downloaded it. That might not seem like many, but that was just a few months ago. Since then, there have been many thousands of downloads, almost three hundred posts in the forums, and we have received hundreds of email messages.

Thank you for all of the support to this point.

I’m proud to announce version 1.0 of MacCaching!

Here is what is new for 1.0: Read the rest of this entry »

Howto: Using Simple Cachelists

Cachelists are one of MacCaching most unique features. They offer a simple way to keep caches organized in a variety of ways. This simple video shows how to create a cache list, edit the name, and add caches to it.

(This video is based on 1.0, different versions of MacCaching may look slightly different.)

SEE MacCaching in Icenrye’s Geocaching Videozine

Episode #24 of Icenrye’s Geocaching Videozine featured MacCaching which was about Paperless Caching! Icenrye has does a great job of with tips, along with geocaching news, and even contests!

Icenrye gives an excellent overview of how to use MacCaching and even points out how MC doesn’t support logs today. (The upcoming version 1.0 will solve this little issue.)

There’s mention of some Pee-Cee programs, but with such a great MC overview, I’ll forgive him for mentioning the dark side…
You know… he kinda sounds like John C. Dvorak… ;) (j/k, Icenrye.)

Here’s a direct link to this episode.

Hear about MacCaching on the Geocache Podcast

xpunkx and darrylw4 hosted me on their LIVE podcast tonight Geocaching Podcast. In addition to talking a bit about MacCaching, darrylw4 gave a great overview of how Pocket Queries work.

This podcast is a unique Geocaching podcast, because it is hosted by TalkShoe.com. TalkShoe hosts live podcasts where listeners can call in real-time, while the podcast is being recorded.

I was on Episode #28. Check out the Podcast, it is a very cool format and one that I’ll be adding to my iPod shortly… Thank you xpunkx and darrylw4 for letting me be on your show!

Preview to version 1.0!

Note: MacCaching 1.0 is now available!

Hi Everyone.

 It has been quite some time since I have posted a blog entry or a latest build of MacCaching.  In the next couple of weeks I am going to be releasing version 1.0!  Right now I’m finishing up some features and doing some bug fixes before it is ready. So far I have completed some major new features and fixed over 30 bugs.

Some of the highlights of new features include:  Log Support (finally!), iPod Notes, export to HTML, a new search tool, and (the best one in my opinion) Smart Cachelists!

Below is a quick YouTube video I made to show off some of the features.  Be looking for the version soon! MacCaching 1.0 is now available!
