<this is a Copy, as well Jan 28's above, of a Post I made in a similar Thread in case some Cachers have Notifications to this thread enabled> Well I downloaded the latest version of the App, went out Geocaching today: STILL THE SAME PROBLEM!!! My workaround is still the same as I posted on Jan 28 above. An improvement on it is to occasionally switch between the Geocache Navigation/Compass and the iPhone's Compass. Better yet, if you're able to navigate with just the iPhone's Compass, keep the iPhone's Compass App in the Foreground (on top), occasionally checking the Geocache's Navigator/Compass for distance and direction confirmation. Yes, this is all a royal pain. but less so than having the current Geocache App Bug take you in an up-to- 125' diameter Wild Goose Chase.

<this is a Copy of a post I made in a similar Thread in case some Cachers have Notifications to this thread enabled> I too started having this problem a while back --- don't remember exactly when --- where my iPhone SE will get me right to GZ but then suddenly send me 25-160 feet away, with the Compass changing directions. This Weekend, when the same thing happened, I opened up my iPhone's Compass App with the Geocache App still running --- I have the "Background App Refresh" option in the iPhone's Settings set to ON for both WiFi and Cellular --- which started spinning wildly but soon got its bearing. When I switch back to the Geocache App its Compass was then working fine. Has anyone else also found this as a fix?
