Is there any Wherigo app available for Android phones other than WhereYouGo? I have an HTC One (HTC6500LVW)and have successfully loaded the WhereYouGo app. I've loaded Cartridges to the phone, and pointed the cart folder to my phone's download area. The cartridges are being seen, no problem. I'v also loaded Lcus maps, again no issue. I start the cartridge, no problems. I start navigation to the first location and the distance never changes, always 1.8 miles way. It appears that the app is not recognizing my GPS of my phone. Other GPS related apps see it just fine. When choose to review it via the Locus maps, it properly shows my location and distance. That information never gets passed to the app?!? I've tested the cartridge on an iPhone with no issue. So I conclude that WhereYouGo won't work on my phone. Are there other android Wherigo apps available? (My search of the google play store did not yield any) Thanks in advance criffree

I guess my question is why? Once you log them as found, they do not show up on the unit. I think the real issue is not deleting found caches, but deleting caches you DNF'ed or caches that you aren't interested in chasing from your handset in the field. To date, I've not found a way to do this.

Thanks to those with constructive answers. Its confirmed much of what I suspected. I appreciate your time and effort. It will definately require a message to our reviewer. For those who's sensibilities I've offended by talking about such a subject in a message board, I apologize. I respect your opinion on the subject just as I would ask you to understand that I may have my reasons for wanting such a thing (even if I've not sufficiently explained them).

I get it. You don't like it. Noted. But I can assure you that there are good reasons to want this, not withstanding any preconceived notions you may have on the subject. That said, I see your point on how it could be abused. But this thread is not about "should" we... Its "Can this be done". To give you an example, what if you had a very complex puzzle setup, and wanted to make sure all the right parts are in the correct cache page descriptions. Leaving the details to a manual process, as opposed to an organized automated approach just seems prone to error. So, my goal, as I'm sure yours, is to make sure that the cache description is of highest quality as possible. And by providing a consistent, repeatable mechanism to do this, seems like a good idea!

I understand the comments, and perhaps I've not been entirely clear. Don't get hung up on the common description (thats religion). They won't be exactly the same. I've built a series, and need to name them in a particular way. They are along a path. Instead of a 30 part multi, I wanted to do 30 caches. In this case, the reward will not be my witty prose in the cache page, but instead the journey for multiple smileys. But no matter. Take the cookie cutter concept out, and pretend I'm writing different chapters in the GSAK (or any database app of choice) cache description. I can also see a need for this as someone might want to post their cache's in a similar format. Personal template of sorts.

I just finished setting out a series of 30 caches with a buddy. We'd like the description between mine and his to be as similar as possible. Apart from creating the first one and copy/pasting the rest, is there a way to submit an entire series? I was wondering if there was a GSAK script that could take the details from the database and use it to submit individual caches to geocaching.com. If so, I could create the major details in GSAK, export it to my buddy, we could run the script on the caches and they'd be the same. Am I just dreaming or is this something someone has already accomplished? I searched the GSAK forums, with no luck. Maybe this is something gc.com frowns upon? (guessing). Just looking for ways to make the cache creation as quick and as high a quality as I can. Other ideas? Thanks in Advance.

Thanks for the help! Unfortunately it looks like I will not be able to log them.

I found two interesting markers today, They both had FAP and are in the shape of the Federal Sheild. I'm not sure what they are, or if they can be logged... Anyone recognize this?
