Hello We are traveling to 2 different cities with travel bugs to drop off for our troop to hopefully watch travel. How can we find travel bug hotels in various cities to drop our trackables in? I know we can leave in any cache, but I thought they might have a higher likelihood of traveling from a hotel. Thank you for any advice, we are still learning

It worked! It worked! Thank you so much for your help

Thank you so much for your reply. Yes, I am using the official geocaching app and tried uninstalling it and reinstalling. I could not get any options to let me calibrate within the app, but I am trying. Nothing has changed. I did use the feature you described in your screen shot and the compass does work in that mode. It rotates about and continuously has North pointing the right direction no matter what way the phone is orientated. Once I move to the larger compass (green full screen) it does not work. Where in the app do you set North up? It always has North at the top of the phone, no matter where North is, an also does not rotate as I rotate. This feature works on my friends phones I was geocahing with. However, it will countdown as I get closer and beep within 30 feet, so I know knows where I am somehow. Thanks for your help, I hope I am explaining it right. As long as I know which way is North I can work around, but it would be nice to know what I am doing wrong.

Hello, I new to geocaching and have a problem with the compass. Once I start a cache search and choose the Compass icon in the upper right corner, the compass appears, but doesn't function properly. It will accurately count down my distance to the cache and the orange arrow points in the proper direction, but the compas does not auto rotate/spin. North never moves as I turn the the phone. If I know where north is and manually always orient the phone that direction we can find the xache. If Ian not holding the phone with the Nkrth arrow acurally north or do not know which way is north we will not be on the right track. I have both a free and premium login and it doesn't work in either. My iPhone settings are set for location services on when using geocaching app and the compass app that comes with the iPhone works. Is there an internal setting either in the app or my phone I need to change? Thank you
