Work in progress. Just played a little with gpx files and the c:geo android app. c:geo has not worked at all with gpx files from caching sites other than geocaching.com for quite a while, if indeed it ever did work well.
I have found that if you make the following small changes to the gpx files they will successfully import into c:geo and work as far as the initial waypoints are concerned. So useful to see if there is a TerraCache nearby to you, for example, if you are out and about. But as the main cache page details are not included in TC downloaded gpx files, a check of the site is still needed to see if more is involved with the cache than just going to find a box.
So take or leave this as you wish. Maybe someone else can play with the idea further and make it work better than I did.
The fields to change in the gpx files are:
Type
change from:
TerraCache|Classic Cache
to:
Geocache|Traditional Cache
Symbol
change from:
TerraCache
to:
Geocache
That is all that needs changing to make compatible.
TerraCaches then show as brown ?? on the map alongside the usual GC.com caches:
I have blurred coordinates for the cache used for the example so as not to upset the CO:
