+Philologus Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 In the android version which is probably the same... In 'navigate to geocache' choose compass or map... from the menu there you can choose destination or add waypoint which allows you to input coordinates. Quote Link to comment
+TomToad Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Android is not the same as the iPhone (unless the iPhone app was changed in the last 6 months). On the iPhone, you go to the map and in the upper corner of the map is a little flag. Click on it and it will ask you to enter new coordinates. Quote Link to comment
+akerdoc Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I use an iPhone. I frequently find it to be more accurate that my Garmin Oregon 450T. I can't imagine caching without my iPhone. I use the Geocaching App most of the time, but I also use Geosphere and L4C Pro when I am caching in areas without good cell phone coverage. Here is the way to enter coordinates into the Map App. You need to type "loc: " (all small letters) in front of the coordinates and it will drop the pin in the correct place. You need to type loc: (It needs to be just like that with no capital letter and a colon after loc) and then a space between the colon and the first number of the coordinates. If you don't do this, the Map app drops a pin on the road closest to your location, and not the actual location. If you are using the Geocaching app, you need to select "Navigate to Cache" When you are in that window, there is a little flag on the upper right part of the screen next to the compass icon. Press the flag icon. Give the location a name, select the location Latitude and Longitude and enter each. This will then drop a little orange flag at the location. Touch the flag, then touch the little > and then select Set as Target. The App will then treat the flag as the cache location and let you navigate to it. I think you can add as many of the little flags as you want. I hope this helps.
