+victor.phillips Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Any information would be helpful. I am using the Iphone app and we found cache 1 & 2 which gave us the coordinates to the final cache. How do you input the coordinates into either the iphone or another app. We are stuck any help will be appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment

Thanks In the official app, when navigating to a cache, there's a flag icon in the top-right corner. Tap this to enter custom coordinates. Quote Link to comment
+Chief301 Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 I must have answered this question myself about a hundred times, never thought to post a screen capture....👍 Quote Link to comment
+terratin Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Mind if I jump onto this topic? A few days ago I tried to find a mystery with the iPhone app. I entered the final coordinates as shown here. But what then? I was either send to the given coordinates or to a waypoint on the cache site and not to the coords I entered. Something certainly went completely wrong there. Quote Link to comment

When you have entered the coordinates don't select "Set To Current Location" or "Set To Geocache Location", just hit "Done"....it will jump back to the navigation screen and you will see a little flag on the map at the coordinates you entered. Click the arrow and select "Set As Target"...Off you go! You can name the waypoint whatever you like in case you will be searching for it later. It will remain attached to that cache until you delete it, even if you close the app and come back to it later. Quote Link to comment

I think this iStuff is simply too complicated to use for me (as I noticed before) Thanks a lot, that helps a lot. Mrs. Terratin Quote Link to comment
+Chief301 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Don't sweat it, the Groundspeak app is great but some of the features are a little hard to find until you've played around with it awhile. 😊 Glad to help! Happy caching! Quote Link to comment
+Gitchee-Gummee Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Some people say apps and phones are difficult.... others say GPSr units are difficult.... Take your pick! Quote Link to comment
+Oxford Stone Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I use the free c:geo app on my Samsung Galaxy and it's add waypoint | Save. I'd recommend c:geo on a smartphone - went caching with a friend who had a GPS and then pages of scribbled notes from cache pages, I had the lot on my screen! Quote Link to comment
