  Description     : tool for paperless geocaching

It downloads cache locations in the area visible on the map including their description,
hints, difficulty levels and images. Searching for caches in your local db is a matter
of seconds. The currently selected cache is shown on the map (and also all the others
if you want) and there's a traditional compass-like view that always points at the cache.

- finger-friendly input and user interface
- download geocaches for offline use with full text, hints & images on your freerunner
- log caches and write notes while out in the field and upload them later.

- writes html page for each downloaded cache
- map view with icons for nearby geocaches (uses openstreetmaps and tangogps map directory,
  downloades missing tiles automatically)
- search the internal database for geocaches by name or type
- shows current altitude, distance to target, current bearing, direction to target, number
  of satellites and current position
- target selection: selected geocache, one of its waypoints or manual input
[description by the author of the program)

Agtl is primarily targeted at smartphones (i.e. the openmoko freerunner)
