ExpertGPS and Geocaching have a long history together, dating back to origins of the game. Dan Foster, author of ExpertGPS, and Jeremy Irish, founder of geocaching.com, worked together to create the .loc file format used to transfer geocaches to EasyGPS and ExpertGPS so that geocachers could send caches to their GPS receivers without having to type in coordinates by hand. A few months later, Dan, Jeremy, and some other authors got together to create GPX, the GPS Exchange Format, now used by every popular GPS and mapping program. ExpertGPS uses GPX internally, and continues to be one of the leading programs for viewing and creating GPX data.
