I'm not too happy with the geocaching module as it stands. It doesn't do enough to be helpful. So - I've started looking at some changes in direction:

• Ability to parse GPX files
• Ability to store geocache information
• Generation of gmap macro's from the GPX data

Update:

We need to be careful to stay within the geocaching.com license. This does not permit the users to publish data from geocaching.com open to the public (from what I can see).

Parsing standard GPX is OK. Parsing the geocaching addons probably isn't. I believe that linking to geocaching.com may be acceptable - but I'm not sure.

So - I think that the next change could instead be:

• Parse standard GPX to nodes (waypoint nodes, track nodes and route nodes)
• Give the waypoint node type a found/not found status
• Allow to view the node lists for all, found, not found
• Add gmap module dependency and allow for showing maps of points

I'll have to check with geocaching.com about what they are willing to allow for linking.

Current code is in the gpx branch of http://dev.chrissearle.net/git/geocaching.git
