Going out bush - with an iphone

Hi there,

 

Going out bush, no internet coverage. I can't figure out how to save pocket queries to my iphone. Frustrated.

I use a mac? is that the problem?

I have had one pocket querie come thru - as an email - and now what? How do I open it? It saved to my dropbox and then wouldn't open!

 

Kylie :rolleyes:

The iphone caching apps I have seen (including Groundspeak, Geosphere, Geobucket, Looking4cache) allow you to open a pocket query from within the app. As long as the app can find the pocket query, there would be no need to import it from Dropbox.

 

Some apps, such as Geosphere, allow you to import GPX files from other sources (and support Dropbox). But pocket queries can be imported directly into the app for offline use.

 

The Groundspeak app has a pocket queries menu item on the initial page. It is a little cumbersome since it takes a few steps to save the query (look for the three dots on the top right after selecting a query). Just make sure you load and save the pocket query before heading out.
