Yes that is the only way to get the old version for Symbian S60v5 working on the n8 - otherwise the icons are too small for the touch to work - something to do with the higher resolution on the n8. However going back to using the D-pad for java apps feels like stepping back a version (back to when it used to be free). What the app needs is upgrading not just to get the same app working on Symbian^3 but how about Trimble listen to user feedback on their forum? Requests are there for displaying the searched caches on a map (use Nokia maps for offline use), seeing trackables inventories, writing logs in the field, searching for more than 25 caches etc. It has been about 3 years since I saw an update for Geocache Navigator - I have free apps from the Ovi store with 10 times that many updates since then. To be honest I'm really annoyed with Trimble. They should be ashamed of themselves. Many users have paid for their app at £27 nearly for their older devices. Even software producers for apps costing less than £1 on the Ovi and Apple and Android stores provide frequent updates. I've used Trimble's forum, emailed them directly, all to no avail. I then saw on their facebook page that they said they "have no plans to support symbian". By that I think they mean symbian^3. An utter disgrace from them when they were charging so much in the first place. I would encourage disgruntled users to visit their facebook site and comment on their lack of support there - make a public disgrace of them - unfortunately you have to "like" their page before you can comment! To claim that Symbian is dead is nonsense. Nokia are supporting until at least 2015, probably longer. They are still releasing phones based on the Symbian Belle platform. Symbian apps get 160% more downloads per day than Apple apps!! Link to source. So ignoring this is trimble's folly and I fell they have really let down their user base. Anyone finding the GN app is looking dated try Cacheme from the Ovi Store by Till Harbaum. It really looks nice, and does almost everything GN did and more - such as adding field notes in the field. It isn't even at v1.0 yet so it shows great promise and at only £3! If only he can get offline use and offline saved caches working (something he emailed me to say he wasn't sure if Groundspeak would like), then it would be the perfect caching app.
