This format supports the <a class="ulink" href="http://www.geocaching.com" target="_top">Geocaching.com</a>/<a class="ulink" href="http://www.easygps.com" target="_top">EasyGPS</a> ".loc" format.  This format
was created specifically for Geocaching.com and is not the same as the 
standard EasyGPS .loc format.  See the <a class="link" href="fmt_easygps.html" title="EasyGPS binary format (easygps)">EasyGPS</a> 
or <a class="link" href="fmt_gpx.html" title="GPX XML (gpx)">GPX</a> formats for more general EasyGPS support.
</p><p>
This is a simple XML-based format containing only very basic information 
about geocaches.  If you can use the <a class="link" href="fmt_gpx.html" title="GPX XML (gpx)">GPX</a> 
format from Pocket Queries instead, you should consider doing so as it is a much richer format.

We have a separate page describing how to <a class="ulink" href="/tips/browser.html" target="_top">send from Geocaching.com pages to GPS</a>

      Default icon name.
    </p><p>
This option specifies the icon or waypoint type to write for each waypoint on 
output.
</p><p>
If this option is specified, its value will be used for all waypoints, not 
just those that do not already have descriptions.  That is, this option 
overrides any icon description that might be in the input file.
</p><p>
There is no list of valid values for this option.
</p><p>
This option has no effect on input.

      Omit Placer name.
    </p><p>
If this option is specified, GPSBabel will not read geocache placer information
from a .loc file on input.  That is, it will ignore any placer names in the
input file.
</p><p>
This option has no effect on output.
