  1. There is the new version of xatcher - a popular geocaching application for Windows Phone 8. (http://xatcher.blogspot.cz/) xatcher is now compatible with low-end devices that don't sport a magnetometer

    (compass) sensor such as Nokia Lumia 520. The other new feature is the possiblity to create named groups of offline caches (favourites) and do multi-downloads.

     

    You can get it the WP Store

  2. Hello guys,

    in fact, WP8 keeps applications in memory unless you press back button. If you go home pressing window button, then start new app and then you go back, you end-up in previous app in the state you left it. You can use long press of back button to invoke task manager and switch between recenly started apps.

    WP8 also support "fast switching" mode which always bring you back to the same state, but it has to be enabled by the app developer.

     

    My application xatcher leverages mainly offline maps that are available only on WP8. You can go out and stay completely offline to navigate to the cache. Also your log entries are cached locally so you can write them offline and they are sent later once you get online.

  3. Hi,

     

    I've just started testing phase of my new GC application. If there is anybody interested in testing it, please send me an email or PM.

     

    Some screenshots are here: My Blog

     

    Main features:

    - strictly Metro design

    - offline usage possible, offline maps

    - first version with basic functionality, enhancements will be implemented on demand

     

    The tester must own a Windows Phone 8 device (WP 7.X is not supported).

     

    Regards,

    Petr
