Geocaching With An Android?

Is there an app that will give me GPS coordinates so that I can GeoCache with my smartphone?

  • Try c:geo. Free but I recommend you join geocaching.com so you get the advantages of being a member.

    If you find an app that keeps chiggers, fire ants, etc. away, let me know.
  • You will find that your phone's GPS is not accurate enough to get you to the treasure. It will get you close but some of those caches are so well hidden that if you are not within 5' you will never find it. 20-30 feet isn't gonna get it. Additionally, try your GPS while you are under some trees (that's where the caches are) and you will find it causing you to wander all over the place as the antenna is just not sensitive enough.
  • Mine gets me to within a few feet on the beach and desert. I haven't used anything other than an iPhone and the Geocaching app since the 3GS. Spect it's not great under trees tho.
