The Command Line
GeoToad has a very simple Text-User Interface, which allows you to select your query options. When your done, just press "q" and watch the magic.

GeoToad runs under Windows, as well as Mac OS X, UNIX, and Linux - all with the same fantastically dull user interface.

EasyGPS
Once you've run a query and have exported it to an EasyGPS .loc file, this is what it looks like. Notice the intelligent waypoint names used. This query was generated by taking all of the geocaches in North Carolina with a difficulty of 3 or higher.
Apple iPod
The iPod has a nifty feature: It can read stored contacts! It uses the standardized VCF format, which GeoToad handily outputs. Simply copy the output file to the Contacts/ subfolder on your iPod, and you've now got up to 20G of geocaching information at your fingertips (along with a little bit of music). How cool is that?
Sony-Ericsson P800
This is the main way I use my GeoToad output. If you use it to output to HTML, you can use Bluetooth to transfer it to your cellphone, and read your geocaches on the go with the built-in web browser. The query here is a list of all geocaches that I have not done with-in 25 miles of zipcode 27513.
Plain Text
Plain text your thing? For some devices, this may make the most sense!
GPS Connect
You a Mac OS X user? GPS Connect makes it easy to upload and download waypoints to your Garmin GPS unit. Here's a screenshot of it using GPX data from GeoToad. The query was "All Geocaches in North Carolina that have not been found in 180 days".
