+Stormchick Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 I've been using the Iphone app for a few months and its always been brilliant. I had a break from Geocaching for a couple of months, and started again last week. My app seems to be having a few issues. When I go to 'navigate to GC' I can see me (blue blob) and the GC (green blob) but the red 'arrows' and distance between me and the GC is totally screwed. My app wants me to be heading to Morroco (Im in West Yorkshire) and tells me I am 3000 miles away from my chosen GC! How can I get it to point to the GC and not Morroco?! Quote Link to comment

I have heard about a bug that makes it do this. Update the app as I think they fixed it in an update. Quote Link to comment
+Stormchick Posted January 29, 2011 Author Share Posted January 29, 2011 Well, Ive updated the app - which took hours! But no luck. I am still 3,300 miles away from the GC which is 0.3 miles away Quote Link to comment

I am still 3,300 miles away from the GC which is 0.3 miles away I don't know then. I don't actually use the app so I don't know much about it but I know it did have a bug a while ago that caused it to tell everyone to go to a point off the coast of africa. I believe the work around then was to select the geocache on the map instead of searching for nearby caches. Hopefully someone else knows more about this problem. Good luck getting it to work.

+northernpenguin Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 THANK YOU! The work around worked a treat Two geocaches found Glad I could help! Have fun geocaching! Upgrade to version 4.2.1 and the route to N/S 0.00 E/W 0.00 bug goes away. Make sure that's the version you are running. If that still doesn't fix it delete the app and reinstall it (that will remove all program settings, which should fix it) Quote Link to comment
