Why don't you try a app that uses the approved API rather than that screen scraper? It probably does not work due to the recent updates to the web site.

 

I use NeonGeo. It works great! No log on problems with it. Also, I have tried CacheMaid, and it is quite nice as well. The official Geocaching.com app is also quite solid.

Amen to what Andronicus said. The-app-that-shall-not-be-named will always be one site update away from being broken, because it doesn't use the site-approved API.

 

NeonGeo has a lot of nice features, though its interface could use a freshening. For example, you look up a cache by name in the search field above the list of loaded caches. But if you want to look it up by the waypoint ID, you have to back out to the opening screen, and then press the phone's menu key, which will then display a "quick look up" option. I had to ask on their forum to get that info, since it's quite unintuitive.

 

But you can do things like display the cache's area in satellite view, scroll around until you find a place to park, then just press and hold on that spot, and you'll be given the option to use Google Navigation to take you to the parking area. You can also create a template for a signature line, that can include date and time info, as well as the sequential find number. Unfortunately, you can only create a template for Find logs. Hopefully this will change in a later release.

 

And lastly, you get a free 30 day unrestricted trial, before you need to buy it (and it's cheap, compared to some others).

Moving out of the forum reserved for discussions of authorized Geocaching Live-Enabled Applications.

Cachesense is also a great alternative and it is evolving at a very rapid pace. It also has great support for offline caching and there is a free 30-day trial version that is identical to the paid version.

Spend 10 bucks and get a real app. One that is approved and not a bandit.

I have the official geocaching.com app installed on my Galaxy S II and have no incentive to change.

Locus is worth taking a look at. Add the Geocaching4Locus and Locus Map tweak addon (for extra map sources). For an excellent mapping / Geocaching app.

 

It allows you to download maps and PQ's, for off line use. So that you can continue Geocaching where the mobile data signal gives out.

 

The development is very active, and its an approved `Live` app.

The issues you were having with c:geo were fixed today.
