+Sol seaker Posted November 16, 2013 Posted November 16, 2013 I bought a tablet to use to geocache and it's not working. The main thing I wanted it for was to view the maps and when I press a cache icon it does not bring up the cache. I have a nook (no its not just a book reader) that's about 6 x9 inches. I don't want an app if its like my phone app. It drives me nuts only being able to view a handful of caches at a time. I bought a bigger screen to see more caches. Solutions? Quote
+Walts Hunting Posted November 16, 2013 Posted November 16, 2013 We could use more info in particular: what tablet and what app. The issue of some tablets and apps not responding to the touch to bring up undo has been discussed many time in the forums for that particular app. Not anything new. They say they are working on it. Quote
+the3gmen Posted November 28, 2013 Posted November 28, 2013 Nook tablets will only connect to the internet if you have wifi available. So if you are in the field and you want to see the closest caches or the cache page of the one you are searching for, you will be out of luck. Quote
+dizzabella Posted November 28, 2013 Posted November 28, 2013 I don't use an app for my tablet, just use wifi and the main site. Viewing the caches from the map sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. I haven't figured out the magic way of tapping the screen to open them all the time. I know this doesn't help, but keep fiddling with it, you might come up with the perfect technique Quote
+nypackman Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 I have a Motorola Xoom tablet that is WIFI and 4G. On geocaching.com I sometimes have to tap on the cache icon several times before the cache page becomes available. I don't know if the target spot on the screen is so small that I have to hit it just right or what. A work around I use is when I do get on a cache page I use the find nearest cache option to get to other cache pages. Quote
