+hzoi Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 I updated the app today before I set out. I noticed two changes in 8.46.2 that I am not wild about. Thing 1: GPS accuracy no longer appears when navigating using the map view. It was available in every version I can remember up until this one. Its absence is not good. I would like it back. The only way I can see the accuracy of GPS reception is to use the compass view - and that creates another issue. Thing 2: The compass navigation apparently will only work for the published coordinates for a cache. I was using the map view to navigate to the parking coordinates of a multi, which should have been 0.3 miles or so ahead of me. When I switched to compass view, the needle said I had only 0.1 miles to go. That's where the published stage 1 coordinates of the multi were. The destination coordinates at the bottom of the compass screen confirmed that it was trying to take me to stage 1 and not the parking coordinates. I will try to add screen shots when my phone charges up some more. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment

+Max and 99 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 I've confirmed all over this behavior on my app. Quote Link to comment
+Max and 99 Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 We were navigating to the final coordinates of a puzzle cache today. It was fine using the map but when you went to use the compass it was taking us to the posted coordinates. I hope this gets fixed soon. Quote Link to comment
+cornishcay Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 I can confirm this happened to me as well! Quote Link to comment
+mysteriousways01 Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Same too. If I change the coordinates after solving a unknown cache, the final is shown correctly at the map, but it shows the distance to the header/posted coordinates. And the shown distance to the cache on the map doesn't change when you are moving, it is necessary to click again on the cache-icon to get the actual distance. 1 Quote Link to comment
+Wal & Ol Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Agree - we saw both these things yesterday - we use the map feature all the time, both driving and walking - not havng the distance count down as you move is a show stopper. Taking the distance from the listed corords instead of the highlighted waypoint had us very confused for a while! I look forward to both these being rectified. Quote Link to comment
+hzoi Posted May 21, 2021 Author Share Posted May 21, 2021 Just to circle back on this - both issues have been addressed. A big thank you to the mobile app team for working these! Quote Link to comment
+GoGayleGo Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 I didn't have this problem back in April/May when others did, but just had it yesterday. Quote Link to comment
+sqirts Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 This issue is still happening.. We have been working on puzzles and updating them on the web site.. but when we go back to the app and click navigate it will only take us to the original coords, not the corrected ones.. so for now we cant seem to do anything without actual coords on e site to start with.. drag...

Not sure what this means. A workaround would be just to add a waypoint. Takes about 10 seconds. Quote Link to comment
+sqirts Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 thanks Max I will try that Quote Link to comment
