+CheekyBrit Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 There was a brilliant feature in the geocaching app (Android user here) that I took for granted. Like many geocaching related apps you can add your own custom waypoints within each separate cache page. The cool feature was that when you selected a waypoint so you could see it on the map, ALL OTHER non-hidden waypoints for that geocache would display as well. This is nice for a virtual cache with 10+ stages scattered around, it allows you to plot a course that is efficient and doesn't backtrack too much. I use this for a bunch of different situations and now something has changed so you can only see one waypoint at a time, the posted coordinates, and your current position. All other waypoints are hidden from view on the map. Is anyone else facing this, and is there a way to correct it back to showing all waypoints? Quote Link to comment

Instead of navigating from the waypoint, navigate on the main page. All waypoints will be shown on the map. 2 Quote Link to comment
+Max and 99 Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 (edited) Everything but the smiley are waypoints I added. You can click on any additional waypoint to see its name and navigate to it. Edited June 15, 2023 by Max and 99 Added info 2 Quote Link to comment
geoawareUSA9 Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Moved to the geocaching apps forum. @CheekyBrit, is there a particular cache you experience this with, or is this happening for all caches you view on the app? Quote Link to comment

It was all geocaches within the app but the answer @Max and 99 gave works perfectly. From within the waypoints tab text list, I select the posted coordinates and it shows everything. I can also select other waypoints from within the map to see which is which and it all still displays. What I was doing wrong was from the waypoints tab text list, selecting custom waypoints I had added, then it only shows that one and the posted coords. Nice fix @Max and 99! 1 Quote Link to comment
+BrekkCaching123 Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Yes. If you know the waypoints you had, go to the app and add all the waypoints you had. 1 Quote Link to comment
