Wh en I am searching for cache my beacon on my iphone will blink red.All other times it is green. Is this telling me I am right on it?

If you mean on the Geocaching App... the 'target' is red when you have poor or no GPS signal. The GPS in an iPhone 3G/3GS is fairly poor, unless you're using something to boost the built in GPS, it's not great for Geocaching. iPhone 4 however, is a whole different animal.

 

For 3G/3GS, check this out:

Doesnt matter if you have a 3GS, 4 or GPSr... once you get close, put it in pocket and go back to the description/hints...

 

With a full clear sky a GPSr will put you right on top of it, but looking around at potential hiding places is much better (although if its a nano, forget all that and get on your hands and knees)

 

(oh my - no mention of android, im slacking)
