[Best Smartphone for Geocaching]

I had a Samsung S4 mini and it lasted through 3 battery changes.  Never had any issues with it caching except that it got slow.  I bought an LG G7 a month ago and have had no issues with it so far.  It is bigger but I can still hold it in one hand.  Most of the newer phones are made of glass and that concerns me.  I wouldn't use this phone without a protective case.  Unfortunately, there are not many very durable cases on the market for it.

[New map "features"]

I guess I'm part of the test group.  I find the new features very cumbersome and not user friendly.  I haven't opted out yet.  Why change what isn't broken?  Like others have said, no one asked for these changes.

[Dakota software version 4.30]

I updated the software for my Dakota 10 tonight. All my saved geocaches disappeared. Is it possible to get them back? This is very frustrating!

[Who Are The Lurkers? Introduce Yourself.]

I confess.....I lurk, but I do it to find out information...hopefully useful information.

 

I tried geocaching about a year and a half ago. I eventually got my own gps. It's a lot of fun for me but I wish my family showed some interest. I'm out whenever I can find the time and sometimes when I should be doing other things. It's another reason to get outside and get moving.
