+PairO'Balls Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 I was wondering if there is a way to manually enter and navigate to a GPS coordinate? So far I have not been able to complete multicaches where you piece together final GPS coordinates with clues given at the marked coordinates. Link to comment
+niraD Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 When viewing the cache description, select either of the following: Navigate to Geocache > Map > Menu > Add Waypoint Navigate to Geocache > Compass > Menu > Destination > Add Waypoint... Link to comment
Nicc from KS Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 (edited) When I select Navigate to Geocache > Map/Compass it takes me to either the map or compass but I do not have a menu option. Edited January 8, 2012 by Nicc from KS Link to comment
+niraD Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 When I select Navigate to Geocache > Map/Compass it takes me to either the map or compass but I do not have a menu option.I meant for you to press the Menu button. Android apps use the Menu button to access a lot of features/options that aren't visible on the screen. Groundspeak's Geocaching app is no exception. Link to comment

This is not what I came to the forums to find out about, but I am :D to find out about this! I really needed this feature on Friday and couldn't figure out how it was possible to do on my phone. I blundered my way to where I needed to go, but I'm SO glad to know this feature does exist on the Groundspeak app after all! Thanks to the first poster for asking and to you for answering!

Nicc from KS Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Ok. I understand now. I understood the 'menu' option to be within the app instead of the phone's menu. I'm still learning the phone. Thanks for the help. Link to comment

+bunnygunner Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I knew how to do this, but how do you check the coordinates at the waypoint you created? I guess you could write them down, but can you check them on the app? for now all you see is a little flag. Link to comment

Keystone Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Closing bumped thread. Ask for help in the "How do I..." forum or the most appropriate forum for the app or GPS you use. Link to comment
