+the pooks Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 I finally succumbed to the will of the masses and migrated from Nokia to Samsung. Not because I did not like the Nokia, but more because it was stolen and Nokia seems to be in a state of flux finding its feet. The low end nokia smartphones don't have a LED flashlight, which is one of the things I find useful (besides making phone calls). I used to have GC Live on the Nokia, but googling android geocaching apps returns a very intimidating array of apps. So what do the geeks out there recommend? Quote Link to comment
+Gitchee-Gummee Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 This is very similar to asking "Which GPSr is best?" -- and that is asked with regularity. Mostly, it depends on what a person is comfortable with. I would simply offer up this review: Top Five Android Geocaching Apps . Quote Link to comment
+cincol Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 I used C:GEO with my Samsung Galaxy. Worked great. Good luck with the choices!! Quote Link to comment
+TriciaG Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Interesting article. I don't think c:geo has that "Go 4 App" tracker thing anymore. At least, I cannot find it on my phone. Quote Link to comment
+Carbon Hunter Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 I find c:Geo does what I need - it is free - and I didn't look too much harder or further - because it does what I need. Perhaps others may be just as good? Quote Link to comment
+Carbon Hunter Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Only thing that catches me from time to time is changing the final co-ords on a Multi or Puzzle - perhaps someone can show me some time Quote Link to comment
+trevorh7000 Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 You should have got an iPhone Pooks! You would have had less choice that you had to pay more for. I use c:geo as has been mentioned by others. Learn how to use it before you head out in to the field otherwise you might be frustrated. The official geocaching app is another choice - I have not bothered with it. With c:geo you can create and download pocket queries = or there was a helper program that does this, but once you sort it out its quite good. The compass on my current android, a s***ty zest seems very jumpy, but it was rock solid on my old samsung galaxy ace. So its probably the hone more than the app. If you are going to use a smartphone for caching then you are going to need a portable charging device - especially if you like to hike far to find caches Good luck Trev Quote Link to comment

You can add/change waypoints there. Quote Link to comment
