Proximity alerts whilst driving


Recommended Posts

Years and years ago when i was a more enthusiastic cacher, I had a TomTom satnav and loaded a chunk of caches onto an SD card to create waypoints within the TomTom, and then associated some sounds / alerts when I got, say, within 100m of a cache.  It was a really straightforward thing to do with GSAK export, and whilst it wasn't "live" (as it required a download / update) it made opportunistic caching nice and easy for the family.

Every couple of years I renew my interest in this, though I've yet to find a way of achieving this on the latest smartphones etc using default or free apps like Google Maps (for driving), Waze, etc etc.

Is anyone aware of a way to achieve this?
