+indigo1975 Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Unless I have got this all wrong, and doing something incorrectly, using the new Geocache App on my Samsung Galaxy S2, I will only see Caches I have saved on the watchlist via the live map. If this is correct, 1 it is a major pain in the bum, and 2 how can I select multiple caches to save to the watchlist in one go. Quote Link to comment
AZcachemeister Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Which 'the new Geocache App' are you referring to? Since the official geocaching app doesn't have a 'live map' (to my knowledge), I suspect you need to check to see if the developer of your app has a FAQ or perhaps a user's forum to go to (and get your answers from the specific group that uses the app).

+Sol seaker Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Yes the official geocaching app has live maps. Thank God I'm not the only one who had one heck of a time finding them. To find the maps, Hit "find nearby caches" Then hit your "menu" button (I'm on an Android) Hit "view on map" Then you will see a small group of caches right around your area. You have to hit "menu" again to get more options. The menu button will come up with options like, "more results" Or "search here" if you move the map and want to search somewhere else. You can also go into "map mode" from there. This will give you satellite maps. The app has a lot more functionality than I or many others have given it credit for. It's just so hard to find that functionality. Quote Link to comment
+The A-Team Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Yes the official geocaching app has live maps. Actually, it doesn't. The "live maps" people are referring to are the c:geo maps, which constantly and automatically update showing the caches around your location (until that functionality was nixed by GS). With the official app, and I think all of the other caching apps, you have to manually search. @indigo1975: If you're using c:geo, you're either going to have to ask for help over in their support area, or use one of the officially-endorsed geocaching apps.

+niraD Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 FWIW, Neongeo (an API-based Android app) supports live maps. I've disabled that feature, but there are a number of Neongeo users who really like it. Quote Link to comment
+indigo1975 Posted April 28, 2012 Author Share Posted April 28, 2012 But c:Geo is the official app. It shows at the bottom of the screen geocaching.com and logs into this account Quote Link to comment
Team Soupbones Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 But c:Geo is the official app. It shows at the bottom of the screen geocaching.com and logs into this account Umm, no its not the official app. Geocaching by Groundspeak is the official app. all other apps are developed by other people, and not the Geocachign company Groundspeak.

That app uses unapproved methods to retrieve data. Quote Link to comment
+bladesedge Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 If you love/use c:geo and want to go legit, Neongeo is the way to go. Has all teh stuff that the official GC.com app is missing that people love in c:geo. I converted from it when I found out it wasn't approved by Groundspeak. Quote Link to comment
