About a:Drake

a:Drake is a freeware application designed for paperless geocaching without internet connection. The aim of the program is to provide in one place everything needed for geocaching as well as to allow simple data management through programs on the PC. It is recommended to use a:Drake in cooperation with GeoGet (http://geoget.ararat.cz/doku.php/en:start), because both applications share the same database.

If you like c:geo, don't try this app, becouse it works different way ;)

Main features:
* can work with huge cache database (30 000+)
* all information - listing, attributes, logs, waypoints
* field notes, sending to the web site
* compass
* maps from various sources - automatic download, off-line database storage (MobAC and Locus compatible)

a:Drake is designed for off-line work, ie. without internet connection, however it is also able to download data using Geocaching Live (better for Premium Members, since they don't have any significant limit). Basic Member have number of restrictions defined by Groundspeak side, please refer to http://adrake.cz/doku.php?id=en:user:faq:web

Is this app still being maintained? I really want to use it but I'm getting a black bar across the bottom toolbar/icons. Can anyone address this for me please?

Just Amazing.

Good application, but worse UX - you need more time to find all the features. I miss more detailed zoom in map (C:Geo is better in this). And there are problems scrolling in cache listing with pictures (Galaxy SIII) - very annoying

Just what's needed to grab some puzzle FTFs the other day. Easy to add and mark wants on the fly.

Nejlepsi program, ktery spolupracuje s Geogetem. Nyni s podporou vektorovych map uz nechybi asi nic. Diky

There is no way to search the loaded data base by GC code number, no good for me

Q70%
by Q####:

I like the offline approach. I just miss a bulk map downloader or suport for the same ofline map format as c:geo uses. There is a way to search by geocode: Filter

Když jsem si kupoval mobil s Androidem, litoval jsem poue toho, že musím opustit PocketDrake. Jakou radost mám, že vnikla i verze pro Android! Děkuji autorovi.

The map interface is a little messy and slow, but apart from that it is pretty darn good. Works well with non-Groundspeak caches too!

I have done a good test with this app and its not as good as c:geo as there doesn't seem to be a way of storing caches or searching caches from your current location.

H70%
by H####:

A little confusing to start with, but I have been using other apps that work differently. Once found the "use offline database" setting it was no longer downloading live data in the field but from a GPX file. Proximity alarm when approaching GZ is the best, no more walking past when busy chatting. One big feature missing from this app is the ability to have turn by turn directions when driving to a cache. Also only imports from pre downloaded unzipped GPX, no link from emails to import like c;geo. Would also be good if there was map tile caching for offline maps like neongeo. But I like this app, ad hoc waypoint input great for those final bonus caches, nice collection of features including code ciphers. This app will be staying installed in my cache apps collection

At last a geo cache app that does it all, and works well after a little time setting it up. Import gpx file did not work and showed nothing on map but live data covered this little error. Thanks have deleted cgeo now.
