+camnpete Posted March 24, 2017 Author Share Posted March 24, 2017 Geocaching® app I tried that a couple of tumes but it doesn't seem to address how to use the new iphone app. I'm wanting to answer questions such as "what are the caches closest to my current location? How can I read the description, latest logs, CO's hint, etc. on one convenient page? Thanks Quote Link to comment
RuideAlmeida Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 (edited) what are the caches closest to my current location? As soon you run the app, and log with your profile, you should see a map based on your current location (you are where it is a blue circle pulsing). If there are any available caches close by, please choose one. You will see it show up in the bottom of your screen. Select it to scroll into the full screen. Now choose "About" to read the listing; "Activity" for previous logs, etc. If you want to search for it, choose the arrow on the top right with "START" under it.

Pup Patrol Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 (edited) You need to choose a cache and open it in order to read the hints, etc. All that info is cache-specific.

At the risk of seeming to be a real geodork...when I tap "profile" I get my picture, my username, # of finds. "premium Member", "there are no trackables in your inventory", and a "search for trackables" link. That would seem to indicate I'm already signed on. But I can's find a map which displays my location and nearby caches. Help! Quote Link to comment
+The A-Team Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Tap "Map" at the bottom of the app Quote Link to comment
+camnpete Posted March 26, 2017 Author Share Posted March 26, 2017 OK, I'm officially a geodork...I did ""Tap "Map" at the bottom of the app"". I then got a map of the location of a cache I had been seeking earlier, and the narrative from that cache scrolling along the bottom of the screen, to the left of the START arrow. Is there a reset button somewhere that allows me to get rid of that previous cache onformation and start over again? THANKS for your patience. Quote Link to comment
RuideAlmeida Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 (edited) Is there a reset button somewhere that allows me to get rid of that previous cache onformation and start over again? THANKS for your patience. Just tap over the map... anywhere. PS: Not over other cache circle... unless you want to search for a given one. Edited March 26, 2017 by RuideAlmeida Quote Link to comment

I'm anxious to begin using the new app. I really appreciate your input. Camnpete Quote Link to comment
