Getting very frustrated. I keep reading that a phone’s GPS should be sufficient to geocache. Yet, I have been struggling. Last time I was out, I was standing on top of the geocache, but my phone said I was 25 feet away. Today, it was jumping all over the place ranging from 19 feet away to 54 feet and I only moved about 5. I like the convenience of searching for geocaches on the go, and not having to download maps, etc ahead of time. But, I also need to have a reliable reading. i currently have an iPhone and Comcast/Verizon cell service. Thoughts? Suggestions?

Thanks for the response! I was able to find it with your help. I really appreciate it.

Is there a way to report a problem with a cache through the app? Found a badly damaged cache today that needs replaced. I couldn't find a way to report it through the app.

I've started geocaching with my kids this summer. I've been really disappointed in the SWAG. I've got 3 kids, and most times there isn't really anything in the container - even ammo cans. If there is, it is stuff even my 3 year old doesn't want (dirty, used, junk, etc.). Every once in a while will be 1 thing that might be ok and then my kids fight over it. I love taking my kids out on "adventures", but I'm worried they will loose interest because the SWAG has been terrible. And yes - I have been leaving more SWAG behind than I am finding. I'm hoping to leave a good example for others to see.
