Yellow lock icon?

What does the yellow lock icon mean on the map? I wish I could post a screen shot here!

Upload it to tinypic.com or to a cache log or TB log or to your profile images, then post the link. Or post some info about how to get the "yellow lock" to be on screen. You may tap most of the icons and info pops up.

 

I have both the Android and iThing Apps, and haven't found a yellow lock yet.

I'm just wondering if you mean this icon (the one I've circled in red in the screenshot). That's the icon for a Multi Cache. That kind has "stages" (waypoints) that lead to other stages and at some point to the cache container.

 

The yellow "smilie" icons on that map are caches that the cacher has found.

I wonder if it's a PMO cache, which is why the OP sees it but those who respond don't. I don't have an iPhone or the official app, so I cannot verify.

I tested that just now as a non-PM cacher, and when I try to pull up a PMO cache, the App says "No geocaches were found", and there's no PMO cache on the map with the other nearby caches. But if it can show up somehow, it makes sense that the icon would be a "lock".

 

Two things would help a lot in this case. First, a Help Section with a reference to every screen of the Official GC App with all icons defined, and second, me having a better ability to guess what the questions are. :anibad:
