I figured out some mystery caches and have the coordinates, but can't seem to input them into the cache details on the app. <_<
Anyone got any idea how I do this?

For the iPhone(and to my knowledge Android version) of the official Geocaching application you can press the add waypoint(flag) button while in map point and type in your coordinates from there. You can then select to navigate to that waypoint.

Sorry, just that doesn't work a my samsung/Android.

Yes, I CAN enter new waypoint datas, but there is no button like Save, OK or so....

So there is no (I dont find any) possibility to let me show the new flag (waypoint) in the map.
The same (similar) procedure works very fine on my iphone.

What mistake do i do on androids????

thanks for your help (even in german if possible)...

I have the same question actually. I've tried entering the waypoint by adding the coordinates on the dial and setting it to new waypoint, but when I hit done, the coordinates that I entered changed. Why does this happen? I can't find any of the puzzle caches because of this either... :(
