  1. Assuming your HTC is on Android, there are several apps on the android store. Including the groundpseak one which works directly from this site. Will leave it to more expert people to say which of the available apps is the best, though!
  2. I am a beginner and talentless geocacher. I am also a single parent with mobility difficulties and a very low income. It must be wonderful to be able to afford to travel the globe then engage in a 30 mile hike with maybe some wild camping thrown in to find a geocache with a spectacular view. For some of us for a huge number of reasons that is not possible. For others it is simply not desirable. Seems to me that any hobby has its snobs, but when it comes to this one the 'snobbery' evident in the OP makes me very sad. Despite my pathetic success rate, I love spending time with my daughter, doing something together outdoors where we have a common goal and spend virtually no money at all, since we tend to combine our fruitless searches with journeys we were already taking. Given that this hobby is born out of 21st century technology enabling a treasure hunt to be played on a global scale, should it not also be accompanied by more modern day egalitarianism that moves away from the notion that there are superior and inferior ways of engaging in the same hobby? There is not necessarily a better or a worse way of geocaching, surely, just individuals choosing how they wish to enjoy something? It would be really nice if we could all just be happy about that!
