BlackStar is a freely available GeoCaching and Waypoint Management tool.

Using your BlackBerry device and BlackStar, you will be able to keep track of your current Latitude, Longitude, Altitude, Speed, Direction and the distance to your destination. This makes BlackStar ideal for Geocaching™, hiking, biking, hunting, and even flying. Best of all, it's free. 

Along with its Navigational aspect, BlackStar boasts several Geocaching features. Allowing you to list caches closest to your location, import lists of Waypoints/GeoCaches, log your find immediately online, and view the specific Cache Details. This effectively allows you to quickly access nearby geocaches, seek them out, and even log your finds online. As long as you brought your GPS capable BlackBerry, you're all set. 

BlackStar is integrated with bcaching.com, a site intended to make geocaching with an Internet-connected phone easier, allowing you to easily and quickly access uploaded Pocket Queries. 

New in Version 1.5, BlackStar now supports Track Management functionality. With this, you may now record, save, and export your track as you use BlackStar. This is perfect for recording a trip, exercise, or just to see where you've been. 

*** Note to all Verizon users: If you are not using a BlackBerry Storm or Tour this application requires a external GPS device as Verizon blocks the GPS to all 3rd Party applications !!!

Awesome free app!

My wife is jealous because this is easier to use than her GPS. Some features I would like to see perhaps in the future would be import multiple wayopints at once and allow program to run without radio (GPS) running.
