About Cache Hound
CacheHound is a paperless geocaching application. It has been designed so that it is equally capable of working in tandem with a stand-alone GPS unit that may have minimal support for geocaching, or as a fully self contained application on your Android device.
* No need to turn on android GPS and run batteries down after 2 hours. Use all day!
* Works without 3g/data connection or with intermittent connections. No problems when deep in the forest!
* Can be used as a stand-alone application for short trips, or more extended with external power supply, e.g. in car.
* Integrates with third-party applications such as Google Navigation, Radar, and Locus and RMaps.
* Load local database from gpx, zip, or loc files (Geocaching, BCaching and GSAK formats supported)
* Full local cache details, including logs and additional waypoints.
* Ability to add child waypoints such as the final coordinates for multi-caches and to navigate to them
* Add user notes to waypoints, to record clues for multi-caches and puzzles for example.
* List all downloaded waypoints filtered by user criteria.
* Show all filtered waypoints on Google Maps, with satellite view option.
* Download waypoint details to the database "on the fly"
* Log finds to local database for field note export, including details of trackable movements, or direct to geocaching.com website.
* No need to 'remember' where you picked up or dropped off trackables
* Integrated voice recognition for audio logging (3g connection dependent)

Have tested it out in the field on my Samsung Galaxy S, behaved pretty good and didnt let me down. Liked the ability to switch from Compass to Cache details to Hint and back with having to close the navigation page. Nice and neat.
