CandiClyde Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 I have never been geocaching before so I went through the hide and seek a geocache feature online and added some to my watch list that are close and looked like fun, but when I opening up the intro app and true in the cache code (in this case GCJD6D) or the coordinates it won't find the geocache I want (titled Hidden Lake). If I type in the code it won't find it at all. I've tried it with a couple different ones and have had the same problem. Why won't it load the geocaches I want it to? Quote Link to comment
+K13 Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 The Intro app is limited in the caches it will display, designed for easier to find caches, usually small size and up, with D/T ratings below 2. Higher Difficulty or Terrain ratings won't show up on it. The cache you cite has D/T of 3.5/3.5, therefore it won't appear in the intro app. Quote Link to comment
+kunarion Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Why won't it load the geocaches I want it to? That Intro App is just to allow you to see if your phone basically works with it (maps, compass, finding a cache). It's an "Intro" App. It's a lot more useful that most "Intro" Apps, but doesn't have many features. Quote Link to comment
+Gitchee-Gummee Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 ...Why won't it load the geocaches I want it to? The Intro-app is -- as the name suggests -- to give a "taste" of geocaching. If you want the full meal, dump the Intro-app and go with the full (paid) app. This applies to the Official Groundspeak geocaching app -- there are other apps, too. Add to that -- app(s) are not the website. You do not get all website services with any of the apps. They are only supplemental 'devices' to install on a phone for those unwilling to purchase a stand-alone GPS device. Quote Link to comment
