Boy did I feel like a big ole dummy when I found that in the settings menu that I had looked at numerous times!! It was right there in my face the whole time!! Thanks a lot ADD!

I think your test was pretty good Luke. I just wanted to add information to your thread on a couple of different phones in differnt conditions. I also agree with Penguin that poor performance is probably limited to old, or cheap smartphones. My Hero was the top player on Sprint this time last year, and now the Evo is the top player. I have noticed on this forum that people can be quite snobby about somethings, and how some people play the game, and I think that is the type of person that looks down their nose at smartphone chachers. If there is something out there that brings more players to the game, or makes it easier for people to play. I'm all for it!

Hit two today, one with moderate cover, and one under heavy tree cover. Both phones got us to within 10 feet of the caches. It seems to be just as accurate as my Magellan eXplorist 400, but then again, it's a couple of years old.

Similarly to the above, there is an option in 'settings' to hide your found caches. HINT: When hiding a cache, it can be helpful to show the found ones! Where is that "setting"? Is it on the website somewhere, or in the app? I use the c:geo app, and my mobile map is cluttered with hides that I have already found.

I have noticed that my HTC Hero can constistantly put me into the exact parking spot that I am sitting in, among other locations. A friend of mine and myself actually have plans to do some lunchtime chaching tomorrow both under tree cover, and open are to compare how acurate my Hero, and his HTC Evo are.
