+KatyPotatie Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Firstly - Hello! Newbie to the forum, but not newbie to Geocaching.com. I have the standard Geocaching app on my Samsung galaxy. However, my reception isn't always great. How do you actually download these to your phone to use when you're not in coverage? (Can I do it from the app, or do I need to do it from geocaching.com?) Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment
+Mineral2 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 you can download caches with the app, but I don't think the app has offline map support yet. Maybe Locus Pro? Quote Link to comment

Thanks in advance! You can save caches for offline use, with "Lists". Here's one way to make a List: https://support.Groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=791 Here's how to work with a List in the App: https://support.Groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=784 Among Apps on my droid phone, I prefer Locus Pro, with a couple of state maps, and any recently run Pocket Queries as a backup in case of any problem with my Garmin Oregon. In an App, Geocaching features are buried in sub-sub-menus, but that's the way it goes. Edited January 8, 2017 by kunarion Quote Link to comment
+on4bam Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 I'm using (as backup) GDAK on my Android tablet. It's designed for 100% offline but also works online. It can download caches as GPX, pocket query and via API. Quote Link to comment
+sloth96 Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Gcdroid has some great features. Their dropbox integration feature to pull gpx files from the cloud is great. Quote Link to comment
