Easier way to log in a TB or just log a visit?


Recommended Posts

I use my GPSr to Geocache and then log my find on my phone.  But, I've changed it and wait until I get home to log in my finds for the main reason for logging in TBs. I find that when I log a find, the option to also visit, drop, pick up a TB, isn't there.  I find that after I log my find, I have to go to my profile, then enter my inventory, find the cache that I just found, add a comment, and log it! 

I remember when it was a lot easier with this app for this specific purpose... The option was there when logging in a find and it was an easy click. Am I doing something wrong? Or is this the new way now? 

I find now that I don't even use my phone anymore and just use my Garmin. I'd like to go back to my old ways and log a find and dip a TB at the same time. 

I took a break from Geocaching for a little while for personal reasons and I'm back Geocaching again and I find the new version seems good in some ways, but this is the only con, for me, about this app.

If anyone else knows of an easier way, let me know! Thanks!

IIRC, there were so many auto-visit logs, and resulting complaints to HQ, that that function was "fixed" with this new app.

I believe the issue was many were unaware that function was "on", logging everything in their inventory at every cache find.

I think that gsak and/or project-pc have a similar function.   I'd like to keep this site fixed thanks.   :)

I agree with Sleepysnails.

Isn't a layout as on the website-logpage possible where you can choose to log TB's at the same time?

 

 

Here here! I have several personal TBs that I log mileage with, and it would be lovely to even just have a switch on the log screen of the app to allow "visit all TBs" when I post a log. I'm left with starting drafts on the app and then simply pushing "submit" when I get home once I can log the TBs too...
