Inputting gps coordinates on iPad

[+JamieJanaG]

Hi all,

 

I have been using my iPad and the ground speak geocaching app to find caches. However I am unable at the moment to enter gps coordinates into the app, so I can't carry out any of the challenge caches.

 

Any help would be great.

When navigating to a cache in map view, there's a flag icon at the top right. Tap this to enter custom coordinates.

I don't understand.

 

To carry out a challenge cache you have to do what the cache description page says, such as find all the counties in your state, or find all teh caches within 10 miles of your home coords, or find the 5 oldest caches in your state, or find at least one cache on each map page in the DeLorme map book for your state, or find a cache every 10 miles for 250 miles from your home coords.

 

Once you have met the requirements of the challenge cache you go to those coords and log your find and document your completion.

 

I have yet to see a challenge cache where you have to enter coords to complete it.

Sorry bit of a noob here, I meant the caches that ask you for questions and numbers of things eg. How many steps east from the tree? And then you use these numbers as your gps coordinates. To find the next part of the clue.

 

But I have found out how to use it now so thank you very much.
