+Irtschy Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 (edited) Hello community. I have some suggestions for the next App-update. I hope, some users are thinking the same. Thats my suggestions: - Vibraiton-alert: if you are in the near of maybe 20 metres, you will get a vibration-alert from your device - Refresh your personal lists: if you have lists with saved geocaches, then it would be nice to refresh the complete list - Update your own log: if you had logged a geocache and you forgot your log for travelbug as visited, that you have the option to update your logentry Kind regards Irtschy Edited August 6, 2013 by Irtschy Quote Link to comment

+Chief301 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 And auto routing. Please, please, make the app do auto routing. Quote Link to comment
+PEPREO Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 auto routing would be nice, or the abilty to switch to a naviation app so that it will lead us to the coords... Quote Link to comment
+JingleBella Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I'm not sure I'd like the auto-alert function... however if it had an option to be turned on or off that'd be okay with me. And auto routing. Please, please, make the app do auto routing. Yes! This I want! Lol Quote Link to comment
+NYPaddleCacher Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 And auto routing. Please, please, make the app do auto routing. Auto routing will only be as good as the routing information available and generally routing information is limit to roads. I suppose if almost all the caches you want to find are very close to roads auto-routing might be useful, but to me, that soundsmore like geo-driving than geo-caching. If you want to find caches more than 100' or so from a road it's only going to get to the nearest point on a route to the cache, which may not be the best place to park in order to take a walk and look for the cache.

+frinklabs Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 There was a link in a post in another thread that shows how to use Waze from the app: This shows how to open Waze from the Geocaching iPhone app for turn by turn directions to caches. http://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=36866 This method stopped working for me but then I became familiar enough with Waze that I use it directly.

The routing function would be useful to drive to the starting point of the cache, the rest would be done by feet... But if I'm in Holliday somewhere, I don't know the roads, so it would be nice to be able to switch to iOS MAPS or another navigation app. The way it is now, you always have to leave the gc-app, open another app, enter the coords and then go... This way would be much easyer... Quote Link to comment
SJSE Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 I think the vibration alert is an excellent idea, as long as it has an enable/disable feature. I'd like to be able to edit my logs from my iPhone because I made a small error before, and I was unable to fix it until I got home. It's not really a big deal, but it shouldn't be that difficult to just make an edit to a log. Quote Link to comment
+Irtschy Posted August 17, 2013 Author Share Posted August 17, 2013 (edited) A new idea: - When you would like to check a TravelBug-Code in the iPhone-App, your iPhone (or smartphone) will give you an alert or an information that you discovered it in the past Edited August 17, 2013 by Irtschy Quote Link to comment
+tarannau20 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 I think it would be great if you could have the public footpaths included on the mapping software, this would make finding routes a lot easier. This data is freely available in England, Wales and Scotland from OS OpenMaps scheme. Sync lists between devices, both my wife and I use iPhones it would be excellent if I didn't have to download for offline use to both devices individually and it synced between them.

+TresHntrs Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 I remember at one time I saw where you could vote on suggestions and there would be information if the suggestion was being considered or would be in the next update, etc. I can't find that anywhere. Does anyone remember seeing this before somewhere? My suggestions, even though some have been mentioned by others before me. 1 Access saved files on the computer I like to save on the go and then log them when I get home. or sync lists between all devices, phones, computer, etc 2 Update all saved with only 1 click I love this idea 3 1 click to sign a cache with all your travelbug, not 1 by 1 Love this one, too, it's the reason I wait and log caches after I get home 4 Mass delete I like this one, too.

This way would be much easyer... A routing function might be useful if the CO has provided parking coordinates (i.e. what you refer to as the "starting point") but otherwise it would route you to the closest point on a route to the published coordinates. That may not be the best location to use as a "starting point". Quote Link to comment
+JesandTodd Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I wish I could arrange my saved lists to my liking. I have about 30 saved lists, and each time I add a new one it goes to the bottom. Quote Link to comment
+Rapaladude Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 3 1 click to sign a cache with all your travelbug, not 1 by 1 Love this one, too, it's the reason I wait and log caches after I get home I've wanted that feature since I bought the app over two years ago. It gets tedious when you have a lot that you want to visit a cache. Quote Link to comment
+Hibje Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I would like the correct logging date. When logging a geocache before 9:00 am (in the Netherlands) my log has the date of the day before. Quote Link to comment
+digineut Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I'm in for the refresh of complete lists... me too Quote Link to comment
