Waymarking App?

[+DerSchnelleLinus]

Hi,

 

does anybody know any statements from Groundspeak's side if there will ever be a mobile phone app for Waymarking?

 

The "just webpage" thing is kind of odd, especially when you are travelling (or your are out geocaching) and just want to do a quick check if any waymarks are around.

 

I mean a very basic app would be initially sufficient - just read the GPS coords from the smartphone's sensor and display waymarks close-by. That's it. Online logging may be nice, but not necessarily necessary (especially as a "read-only" API for just retrieving waymarks is easier to implement on the server side than a read/write).

 

Regards, Jochen

Hi Jochen,

I'm not sure why, but the forum makes the W from Waymarking big, you have to use a small w.

Actually I did - and didn't see any (which I found strange, but anyway...).

 

Do you have a link on the thread for me? Thanks!
