Corrected Coordinates for Wherigo

[+Twinklekitkat]

I just wanted to share a discovery I made. I use a 3rd party app on iOS - Cachly. Was anyone else aware that you can enter the corrected coordinates for a Wherigo on this app and it will then update them on GC.com as corrected coords? It does not work backwards though. You cannot update them from GC.com because you are not given the option. Only works if you update them in the app. Once updated in app, the pencil is then available on website.

 

Just thought I would pass this on to anyone using this app.

Theoretically, you should not have to do that much longer as they are working on an update:

 

• SUBMITTED (32023) - [FEATURE] Allow user-corrected co-ordinates on ALL caches
  
• Letterbox Hybrids: corrected coordinate?
  
• Extend Corrected Coordinates Use
  
• Allow Changing of Coordinates of caches other than puzzle
  
• Wherigo - Correct coordinates
  
• Enable Corrected Coords on ALL Cache Types
  
• Correct coordinates by the letterbox geocaches
  
• Correct Coordinates Not Available?
  
• User corrected coordinates - feature request
  
• "Correct these coordinates" for all cache types
  
• Cannot edit coordinates
  
• [FEATURE] Corrected Coordinates also for Letterboxes and Wherigos
  
• Corrected Coordinates
  
• Can't correct coordinates anymore

Interesting to know Twinklekitkat, though I'm reluctant to use a feature which isn't officially supported… might find it gets dropped.

 

frinklabs: doesn't look like it's going to happen from a skim of those threads — it's been asked for since 2011?

 

But yes, would like for Wherigos.
