iPad to get cache coordinates


gschrack

Recommended Posts

I have an iPad with only wi-fi.

I want to use it at home where I can use wi-fi to search for geocaches by zip code and then find the lat-long coordinates.

I then use my Garmin GPS to go to the geocach.

Will the Geocach App for $9.99 give me the lat-long coordinates?

Thanks.

My grandchildren really enjoy geocaching.

The $9.99 app will display the geocache coordinates for you to put on your Garmin, yes.

 

It will not give you the ability to read the GPS satellites from the iPad - for that, the iPad needs a certain chip or hardware installed, so you couldn't take it geocaching instead of the Garmin.

Why wouldn't you just use the Geocaching.com web site with the Safari browser. My wife does that all the time with her iPad.

On my wifi only iPad I can specify a search location, either on the main page ("search by location") or using the "hide and seek" page under the "play" menu. Either one should return a list of caches that can be placed on a handheld. However, you have to manually enter a location. The find my location feature does not work unless I attach the iPad to bluetooth gpsr.
