SpeleoBase

SpeleoBase, now available in its latest version 2.5, is a robust tool for cave management within the Development Tools category, specifically under Database Tools. Designed for Windows 10, and 11 by Paul De Bie, SC Avalon, Belgium, this tool not only functions as a database but as an intuitive and easy-to-use program for managing all aspects of caving records. The installer file is Speleobase.exe, and it seamlessly integrates various documents, images, and survey files.

Users searching for a ready-to-use cave management solution will find SpeleoBase invaluable. The central management of all your caves includes more than 50 unique fields per cave entry, such as name, place, bibliography, and rigging information. The program allows you to filter, sort, and arrange cave tables in multiple ways, offering a customizable experience.

One of the standout features is the ability to link images, survey files, documents (including Word, PDF, MPEG), and even Internet websites to each cave record. The powerful search-engine built into SpeleoBase enables searches on any keyword, making it highly efficient for users to locate specific information quickly.

The program also supports the creation of export files compatible with GPS-navigation software and Google Earth. This is especially helpful for users who want to visualize cave locations in a broader geographical context. Import/export functionality from other SpeleoBase users or delimited text files adds to its versatility.

SpeleoBase supports other program versions as well, including 2.9, 2.8, and 2.5, offering a range of compatibility for different needs.

Pros:

• Easy and intuitive interface
• Central management of all your caves
• Powerful built-in search-engine
