More functions in the app!

Hey Guys,

 

I've been using the geocaching app for a while now, and I have to say, it's quite neat.

but there are some functions I'm missing to cache better.

- the ability to use other maps (for example OpenStreetMap)

- the ability to 'shoot' a location (for example, 150meters to 104degrees from current location)

- the ability to navigate to custom cords...

 

especially the ability to navigate to custom cords is annoying since I don't have a GPS system yet, and only my trusty droid, yet I love to do mystery-caches, but I simply can't do them due to the fact I can't navigate to them.

 

so watcha think?

How do I create an Additional Waypoint - Android App

 

I'm not very familiar with the uses of the App, so I won't address your other concerns, but you can create a waypoint and navigate to it. That screen might be accurate enough to let you create a particular bearing and distance? not sure....

I guess I forgot to "add reply" when I answered before, so I try again.

 

You might take a look at other apps instead of "the" app. I use GDAK and it does all of the above It even allows you to insert a formula for coordinates so you just have to add values...

Another feature that would be nice...

The ability to log trackables. I'm guessing that since this feature is missing it would explain why there are never any trackables in the caches that say they contain them.
