+mpilchfamily Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Just go to the menu button then to settings. Then change your My Location in there. If it is already set to the My Home Location then try the My Device GPS. The My Home Location uses your home location set on the site. Problem is any time you make a change to your settings on the site you have to log out and back in again on the Forum and your iPhone for the changes to take effect. SO be sure to click on the Change User button in the settings and log back into your account. Quote Link to comment
+germanybert Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Yup, change your setting to My GPS Device. After that there is never a need to change it back to My Home Location. Who are you gonna love forever mpilchfmaily or me??? Quote Link to comment

When you say GO TO MENU BUTTON, thats the black button down bottom of phone?? Press that then you say SETTINGS, i did that and settings say (air plane mode, wi fi hotspot, notifications, sound bright etc) but i do not see MY HOME LOCATIONS or nor can i find MY DEVISE GPS. Do you have a iphone? If so can you walk me through step by step... Sorry not a good user here. Quote Link to comment

+germanybert Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 (edited) 1. Open the Geocaching App 2. At the top left hand corner tap on MENU 3. Tap SETTINGS 4. Look for the tab that says MY LOCATION. It should be the second one down. (Right now yours says My Home Location) 5. Tap on where it says My Home Location 6. Tap My Device GPS 7. In the upper right hand corner tap on CLOSE 8. Say the word VOILA!! Make sure you say VOILA or it won't work! Edited September 29, 2011 by GermanyBert Quote Link to comment

+germanybert Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Turn your iphone off all the way and then start it back up. Quote Link to comment
+teampenguin007 Posted September 30, 2011 Author Share Posted September 30, 2011 Turn your iphone off all the way and then start it back up. Hi ya Germany... I did that turned off phone and it didn't change anything. I noticed you wrote on point 4. Look for the tab that says MY LOCATION. It should be the second one down. (Right now yours says My Home Location).. mine was already on GPS so i just now switched it to My Home Location and its fixed !!!! so its the other way round.. My Maps on the iphone4 (separte to geocache) still says old address but my geocache is fixed at least... Cheers again Quote Link to comment
+germanybert Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 That is great. You must have forgotten to say VOILA the first time. Remember though....if you are away from your home location and you want to look up caches close to where you currently are you will need to switch it back to My GPS Devices. Otherwise, it will show you the caches near your home location. The regular MAPS App on the iPhone has no effect on the Geocaching App maps. They are completely separate. Quote Link to comment
