====== Introduction ======

a:Drake is a freeware application for Android devices designed to do paperless Geocaching.

If you wonder where the name came from, here is explanation: cacher in czech sounds like "kačer" and it is duck male, i.e. drake :-)

a:Drake is designed for **off-line work, ie. without internet connection**. It's possible to download data on-line, but this possibility is meant as a tool for quick update not as main way of program usage. **Cache data is downloaded via Geocaching Live, it means, user has to be Premium Member to be able to use this feature without significant restrictions.**

There is similar application [[http://pocketdrake.cz|PocketDrake]]** running on <fc #FF0000>Windows Mobile</fc>** devices.
