+indigo1975 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 If I am trying to complete a puzzle cache, How do I search the co ordinates using the official Geocaching App? I have found many apps that will give me the co-ordinates for a location, but not reversed. Quote Link to comment

I have found many apps that will give me the co-ordinates for a location, but not reversed. Which app? Which phone? Any app which uses Groundspeaks API is an 'official' app!

+Condorito Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I don't know if it helps, but ill explain how i do it in the geocaching.com iOS app. Once you have the corrected coors solved on paper, go to the geocaching app. Open the cache Go to Navigate to Geocache At the top there are three dots(or a flag) depending on the app version you are using. Anyway press on the flag(Add Waypoint in the latest app version) when you find it. Insert new coords and save the waypoint. Click on the waypoint Select 'Set as Target' Your GPSr will now guide you to the geocache or the next step of the puzzle(to the coords you entered in the waypoint anyway)... Hope this helps...

+indigo1975 Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 When I select Navigate, I get Compass, map or directions... No dots or flag. Quote Link to comment
AZcachemeister Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 When I select Navigate, I get Compass, map or directions... No dots or flag. You need to be navigating to a cache before you can add a waypoint...choose map or compass, but (probably) not directions. You won't see the flag until you have selected the cache and are navigating to it. Quote Link to comment
