A couple things I learned while on my Geowoodstock road trip this year: 1. Did you realize that the 'find my location' button in the top right of the Adventure Lab app screen is underneath the map options button.......however, on the Official Geocaching app it is directly inverse with the location being on top of the map options? This became really frustrating as I was toggling between the two apps, hitting the map options button when I wanted to hone in on my location. If this could be consistent between the two apps that would be fantastic. 2. Could we PLEASE get a list option in the Adventure Lab app? As I planned my trip, I found several ALs that I wanted to complete in the areas I was planning to visit. But once I got to that area, I had to re-locate the ALs because there is no list option like we have with the Geocaching app. I know there are some changes coming to the Adventure Lab app soon, so maybe you have read my mind in advance. If not, please take these into consideration. For reference, I am playing on an ANDROID: Samsung Galaxy 10

A bug that noticed while on my #GWSroadtrip2023: Did you realize that the 'find my location' button in the top right of the Adventure Lab app screen is underneath the map options button.......however, on the Official Geocaching app it is directly inverse with the location being on top of the map options?

Where are you seeing this update?

I'm in an area where 75% of our states roads are dirt/ unpaved. We are spread very far apart with lots of history. This AL is in an area of historical significance to the state. Opening the fencing is a compromise to be able to show off the history of this little 1 road town the AL is in.

With the recent updates announced to the Adventure Lab geofencing, this is going to affect a LOT of adventures. Some adventures are in areas of historical significance, but which have limited cell coverage. If it weren't for the ability to have a wide geofence around the area, players may not be able to open the stages prior to necessitating a visit to gather the answer for the AL stop. Why not grandfather in the ones already made and published and reduce the geofencing going forward? If the stops involve Q&A vs Multiple Choice, let them be. GSMx2 has a great bit.ly document on doing adventure labs with little/no cell service.....but if the player can't open the stage, it can't be completed. I have one with a wide geofence only for the purpose to open the stage from the main highway. The player still has to visit the location to obtain the answer. I propose current ALs be left as is....other cachers say we as a community don't have a voice with HQ. Prove them wrong.....
