jadenrich2101 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Ive been Geocaching about a month now....i use the C:geo app which i think is fantastic but recently it hasnt been letting me use the compass mode...its been constantly pointing west and the distance isnt decreasing! Is anyone else having problems or knows how maybe i could fix it using other apps or something ??? Also second question can i use a tom tom on the walk mode to find the caches?? Im heading to leeds tomorrow for a long weekend an i was planning to use this form of gps if my phone doesnt want to play ball.....Would really like some help here guys thanks Jade xx Quote Link to comment
+Bear and Ragged Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Which TomTom? Car SatNavs can be used, but it's not easy! Quote Link to comment

+TheJudgeFamily Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 u need to recalibrate the compass, should be an option in the menu somewhere?? Quote Link to comment
+The Chaos Crew Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 have you updated the c:geo app? the recent changes to the geocaching.com broke it, but the latest app update fixes it again (it did for me anyway) Quote Link to comment
+The Duckers Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Check that 'Use GPS satellites' is turned on under Settings, Location. I didn't know about that so thanks for the info Quote Link to comment
+GeekyMummy Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Did you download the additional app they recommend you download? I also use c:geo but I downloaded the additional free app and prefer the Radar to the compass, but that could be personal preference, hubby seems to prefer the compass. Quote Link to comment
jadenrich2101 Posted June 2, 2011 Author Share Posted June 2, 2011 Hi guys thanks for the replies....The tom tom over in leeds worked perfectly....Finally updated the C:geo and everything is cool with that too!! Saw some amazing sites in Leeds (well swillington) that as a child i used to just walk straight by! Good times. Thanks for the help ppl...Happy caching Quote Link to comment
