Developer: BtStSoft
First release : 27 Mar 2012
App size: 13.23 Mb
The iGCT PRO app is a toolkit that focuses on typical tasks performed during geocaching. Tasks like making a projection from a waypoint, determining a new waypoint using two other waypoints, determining the distance to these waypoints, calculating the value of a Roman numeral, and averaging waypoints are examples of what the toolkit can accomplish.
Imagine it’s lovely weather and you are walking in a beautiful surrounding. Walking with an intention, because you are geocaching and searching for caches.
Picture you are at waypoint 3 of a multi cache and you’re asked to go to waypoint 4, which is 300 meter from this waypoint and 700 meter from the previous waypoint. Now what? Go home? Imagine you have a skilful toolkit with you to find your way. Imagine you have iGCT PRO, because you want to be ready for all these kind of challenges.
Buy it now for a fixed low price (no in-app purchase necessary), since you never know if you have internet access the moment you need it most!
The choice is yours.
Complete feature list:
List of waypoints

- Manage a list of named waypoints
- Search/filter list of waypoints
- Show overview map with all (filtered) waypoints
- Manually add a new waypoint
- Edit latitude, longitude in WGS84, degrees, DMS, UTM, Dutch/Swiss XY

Calculations
============
- Project new waypoint using distance/bearing

- Cross two lines, each line connects two waypoints
Text to number
==============
- Calculate the sum of the character values in one or more words, the sum of all digits in this sum and finally sum the digits once more to typically arrive at one digit.
- Choose between a=1, b=2 etc., the inverse a=26, b=25 etc. or the phone numbering abc=2, def=3 etc.

Latest reviews of Geocaching Toolkit iGCT Pro app for iPhone and iPad
This is an okay app, but doesnt touch the functionality of the Droid GCC app. The waypoint projection function could use some work, such as allowing multiple decimal points and calculating triangulation of three known points with known angles and distances. I hope to see continued support and features.
Tried the intro version and was less than impressed. But eventually I needed to be able to enter long/lat and get a map to the location, so after about a year of ignoring the intro (and always meaning to delete it off my phone) I took a look at the the Pro version. Its definitely worth the $. I especially like the calculations page; very cool for orienteering or plotting for searches (geocaching, etc). Its not perfect, but it works.
