+floridashorty Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 (edited) I'm new to GC and I found one w/o my gps' help though. This is embarrassing, but how do I use (reference to unauthorized application removed by moderator) for my droid. I logged in like I was suppose to, but it still wasn't allowing the coordinates to show & it was telling me I was offline plus I really can't navigate to save my life! I tried to use navigation as well, but gps never loaded WTH am I doing wrong. In need of serious help since I want to spend my kids summer GEOCACHING!! P.S. My kids are beginning to get frustrated w/me . PLEASE HELP!! Edited June 17, 2010 by briansnat Quote Link to comment
+StarBrand Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 I do not believe that app is allowed or sanctioned by the site as it violates the Terms of Use Agreement. Try Geobeagle: http://code.google.com/p/geobeagle/ or wait for official site app. Quote Link to comment
+Afterburned Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 I use Cachemate on Android - works really well for me. I download all the caches in the area and upload them on to it - from there the app works perfectly. Try a few apps and see what works best for you. Quote Link to comment

I haven't heard anything even in beta, just rumblings from people on the boards that its "in beta" Quote Link to comment

+briansnat Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 As Starbrand mentioned, that app violates the terms of use of this site and discussion of it is not allowed here. I have edited your post to remove mention of it. Quote Link to comment
+JL_HSTRE Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Make sure your Droid's GPS is turned on and receiving a signal. Quote Link to comment

+the_bootypeacemakers Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Sorry in advance if this is a stupid questions, but what does 'site scraping' mean? Quote Link to comment
+niraD Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Essentially, "scraping" refers to loading a web page and then extracting information from it, so the program can reuse the information somehow. In contrast, browsers merely display the web page to the user. See also: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_scraping Quote Link to comment
+tango501 Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 GC app for Droid in beta is doing nicely shouldnt be too much longer Quote Link to comment
+woodsters Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Cool on the app. Just bought a droid today and would like to get back to caching as it's been a few years since i've done. On another note, good to see some familiar names still on here. Quote Link to comment
