+BigOpe Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 Us it possible to set the phone app back a generation or two? Latest version has the "distance to GZ" on an "I fopund it" popup with really small type that is problematic for Geezervision and also simply hard to read in bright sunlight. Previous vision where distance to GZ was displayed at top in much larger font was better for me. Can I back up to a previous version, or to I have to send a GripeoGram to Groundspeak? 1 Quote Link to comment
+Max and 99 Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 Here's a visual: _ ____ I know it's only for traditionals, but my gosh I hate this smaller font. Quote Link to comment
Keystone Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 The compass screen displays the distance in a larger font size. Once the map view is at maximum zoom level, it can be helpful to switch over to the compass view. ("Oh, I need to go 30 feet slightly to the left.") 1 1 Quote Link to comment
+BigOpe Posted October 6 Author Share Posted October 6 So it's a no to backing up to an earlier version, I take it. I have the brightness settings on my phone maxed out, but in midday Arizona sun it's still very hard to read the map for street names and such, as well as the "distance to" problem. (Using compass helps with the latter, thanks for that tip.) Are there GPS devices out there for geocaching that perform better in bright daylight? Only one I ever used before phone was a very basic Garmin. If yes, might have to invest in one. OR, are there other phone apps for geocaching that handle the daylight situation better than the official phone app? Quote Link to comment

+BigOpe Posted October 26 Author Share Posted October 26 Thanks for the link, lots of apps there. Is there a particular one you were pointing me to to address my problem, or is it just a good place to comparison shop? Could take awhile to try them all out! Quote Link to comment
