Geocaching software for Blackberry?

I want to find software that can be used to find Geocaches near me, pull up the information, provide me a guide for walking to the Cache (turn by turn driving would also be nice) and finally let me log my cache on Geocaching.com.

I've seen software that says it can do this but it costs $50 or a lot of synching when the Blackberry is connected to a computer. Real life experience with the software would be the best answer.

Thank you.

I haven't tried this app, but I believe it is one of the better/best ones out there for geocaching. It's called Spot.

It's states that you can download geocaching info directly from geocaching.com. There's a one time fee of 49.00 though!

Trimble makes an application called Geocache Navigator that connects directly to the geocaching.com site so that one can go caching anywhere in the world. You can learn about this product at geocachenavigator.com

The Blackberry Forum over at Pinstack.com features an excellent review of Blackberry’s Geocache Navigator application, developed by Trimble. Most hardcores probably wouldn’t use a Blackberry for geocaching, but according to reviewer LaTuFu, Geocache Navigator is “a breeze to use” and is a great “all in one” tool for geocachers/business people/errand runners who want to use their Blackberry’s for multiple functions. Among the downsides is Geocache Navigator’s poor functioning out in the middle of nowhere, but hey, who brings their Blackberry geocaching in the mountains?

And I just noticed Nav4All has the option of putting in Coordinates. Never used it in that way before, but since its free, it may be worth a try.
