+Danvers Duo Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Good morning. My husband and I have a Premium account as well as a Basic account. The basic account was started in error a few years ago. We always use our Premium account and initially there was never an issue. The Basic account just sat there. In doing the Adventure Labs we have found 41 adventure labs have been posted to the Basic account. Can anyone tell me how I can transfer over the info from Basic Account to the Premium account and then delete the Basic account. If the info can’t be transferred then we just need to delete that Basic account. I did send a message to Groundspeak but never received a reply. Thank you in advance for any info you might have Quote Link to comment
+Isonzo Karst Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 On the AL, I suspect you'll need to do them again, logged in as Danvers Duo. Be careful of how you're logged into the AL app. On delete account, see the Help Center article on Disabling the account, at the bottom is info on Delete. Disable might be sufficient, and you can do that yourself. https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=27&pgid=102 1 Quote Link to comment

Can anyone tell me how I can transfer over the info from Basic Account to the Premium account This may be one of the very few times using "fake GPS" for "cheating" with adventure labs might be useful in a correct way. If those statistic points are important to you, you might: Step 1: Contact the lab owners first! That's very important in my eyes, explain them why and what you a re doing. You might refer to this post or the whole thread when you want to explain the problem. Step 2: If the owners are okay with your approach - and only then! - you may use fake GPS to play the adventures virtually at home to get the points. If you do not have the answers any more the owers might help. I have never used fake GPS with my Android phone (and don't want to) so I can't help you with it but I am sure there are good instructions online. Of course you can revisit the stages and do it normally which might be the better solution but that'll only work with local lab caches. Best wishes Jochen Quote Link to comment

I'd be very careful about using it after this warning was posted on the forums: 1 Quote Link to comment
+Danvers Duo Posted August 20, 2021 Author Share Posted August 20, 2021 Thank you very much everyone for your help. Have taken care of the Basic Account and decided that even those the ALC were out of state, we will do them the next time we are in the DE area Quote Link to comment
+StefandD Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 If you still use the same phone and you remember the answers, you can revisit them from your couch. The app remembers if you visited a lab cache, even if it was a visit on an other account. Quote Link to comment
