I have just discovered Osmand and find the download maps very interesting, better than I have achieved with off line maps to date.
However, I cannot discover how to enter (download) geocaching data except by manually entering each set of co-ordinates separately. This is clearly time consuming, particularly as I need to change the format from default with each entry.
Is there an easy method?

OsmAnd supports the use of online overlay maps (tiles) from openstreetmap. If your geocaching "items" are in such an overlay map, you can use that easily.

Thank you for that Harry, but, being of limited technical ability, I have no idea of how to do this.
 
For geocaching I use C:geo and Locus as well as my Magellan GPSr.

Please read this thread: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/osmand/zVprGxrq0Qc

Hopefully it helps you. I have no experience with geocaching.

Thanks Harry,
 
I think that that will help.
