There are Apps, but if you remain a basic member, and are hunting just a couple caches a day (or fewer), visiting a cache page by phone (web browser on the phone), entering coordinates into the GPSr manually, might work fine for you. 1 Quote Link to comment
+Viajero Perdido Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Mobile service is optional for caching, with the right app. You Android or iPhone? 1 Quote Link to comment
metalchickphd Posted August 12, 2017 Author Share Posted August 12, 2017 I have an iPhone.. I remember an app about 5 yrs ago.. but have been out of the loop since then.. but found trackable cache I never hid and it sparked me to start again! I have mobile too.. so I don't get the best service at times.. at least for me. Thanks for your replies. Quote Link to comment
+TEAM HARTSOCK Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 we were in the same spot and just got back into caching after about 4 or 5 years. The phone apps are amazing compared to when it first came out for the iphone. I have since switched to an Android and love the app. However, I still find in tree cover, or spotty service areas that my 60CSx is much more accurate. but for in town or in areas where cell service is decent, the phones are great.
