+Smokeypugs Posted August 5, 2013 Posted August 5, 2013 Quick and hopefully simple question if I download a Wherigo cartridge can I use it in the field while not using my data on my iPhone like saving caches on the app? Quote
+Ruddles1325 Posted August 5, 2013 Posted August 5, 2013 I think I understand your question and the answer is yes: once you have the cartridge downloaded to your phone it does not require any data transfer while you are in the field. Quote
+pppingme Posted August 5, 2013 Posted August 5, 2013 The greatest majority of the "cartridges" were designed to run on devices that don't even have internet access (like the Oregon, Colorado, etc). Quote
+Smokeypugs Posted August 5, 2013 Author Posted August 5, 2013 Thanks guys that's perfect! I thought that was the case but wasn't 100% sure! Quote
Keystone Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 I am moving this thread from the Geocaching Topics forum to the Getting Started with Wherigo forum. Quote
+thebruce0 Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 No data, other than map loading if you haven't already cached map tiles by viewing them. (ie, turn off data and you'll only see map tiles you've already viewed, so look at a whole bunch around the Wherigo area at relevant zoom levels before restricting your data) Quote
Ranger Fox Posted August 8, 2013 Posted August 8, 2013 That's assuming your player supports a map view or you even go into it. There are some things I'm planning with Wherigo v1.1 that will consume data. Quote
+thebruce0 Posted August 8, 2013 Posted August 8, 2013 That's assuming your player supports a map view or you even go into it. Well as far as I know, the only Wherigo app, or at least the official Wherigo app, for iOS (since that's the OP's context) is called Wherigo, and it definitely has map support. I don't know of any iOS app* that doesn't have a map view... * Maybe there is one now. But I would say that's a vast downgrade. Quote
