First version of Cache Companion

Well, there’s been few posts the last week, I’ve been brushing up on my midp java development skills. More specifically I’ve written a small “paperless geocaching” application to parse GPX files directly on my mobile phone rather than having to go through several stages using GSAK and similar. A lot of XML parsing for a small device to handle, so the initial loading of the datafile is rather slow. After the geocaches have been stored in the midp recordset browsing and searching is done quite fast.

More details to be found on the new Cache Companion pages. Feedback is much appreciated.

  1. wow, thats nice. i have to make some midlet too so long didn’t code on MIDP :) your post really encouraging … ;)

  2. Go do some coding Hasan :) I did some midlet coding years ago – but it’s much more fun now that the midp 2.0 is pretty much standard and things are just slightly less constrained. It’s still an exercise in KISS though.
