Geocaching Smartphone Application

How It Works

The iPhone 3G, 3GS and 4G use a combination of GPS, Wi-Fi positioning and cell towers to determine your approximate location. Groundspeak's iPhone Application then queries the Geocaching.com database in real-time and provides a list of geocaches near you.

Filter your hides and finds from the Geocaching.com search results
Access geocache details, including description, photo gallery, attributes, recent logs, hint and inventory
Look up trackable item details, including item goals, while on the trail
Save geocache listings, including maps and photos, for quick retrieval and offline use
Log geocache finds and post notes in the field
Download active pocket queries for use while outside of network coverage
Submit Trackable logs
Upload photos when you log a geocache
View geocache web pages on geocaching.com without leaving the application using embedded web browser
