These files are typically available in GPX format from Geocaching.com. TwoNav can read directly
these GPX files, but they can also be converted to WPT or BWPT format keeping their
„geocaching extensions‟.
LOC files will also be listed when choosing
a „geocaching‟ destination, but these files cannot be
considered as fully compatible with Geocaching because they don‟t include „geocaching
extensions‟, so extra information as description or field notes will not be available.
Files with geocaching extensions are read differently to other waypoint files to optimize time and
memory. Due to this, they cannot be edited in TwoNav. Geocaching files are currentl
y „read only‟.
