Field notes?

[+RIclimber]

I haven't used the app for awhile and in that time it updated.

 

How do I send logs as field notes now?

Click on the cache you want to post the field note on. Click on the button with the 3 dots in the upper right hand corner. Post a field note.

I have read s lot of forums lately. This is the first to mention. I have seen the field notes function. Are field notes public or private?

Field notes are a private way for you to make anything from a quick note to a full log from the field and save it online under your account. Then you can sign on later, go to your field notes, and then post your log(s) from your note(s). Only once the log is posted does it, like any other cache log entry, become public.

 

I use field notes quite a bit to avoid a lot of typing on my phone. I find the cache then use my GDAK or Geocaching app to post a quick field note. Typically I leave it blank if there is nothing particularly remarkable about the find. Otherwise I will enter a few words or abbreviations to note anything special as a memory jogger..."wet log", "deer", "view", "snake", or whatever. Then when I get home I pull up my field notes (usually listed in the order in which they were submitted) and flesh out my full log using my memory joggers to help me remember what happened or was seen where, if anything, and post the logs from there.

Field notes have been discussed a lot in the forums. If you do an advanced forum search, I'm sure you will find lots of posts about them.
