About this app

Join the world’s largest community of creative hiders and outdoor seekers with the official Geocaching® app. With over 3 million cleverly hidden geocache containers worldwide, you can join an active community of outdoor explorers creating, sharing and playing the game of geocaching all around you. Geocaches are created and shared by people like you, who have a passion for hiding treasure, seeking adventure, and sharing the most meaningful and creative hiding spots all over the world. 
 
Whether you are traveling to a new city, a family out on a neighborhood walk, or a group of friends who know how to appreciate a good scavenger hunt, geocaching is easy enough for anyone to get started. Browse our map to discover hidden cache locations nearby — no matter what city or country you are in. Start by navigating using GPS-enabled directions to within 30 feet of the cache — then your real search begins. Geocaches are hidden out of sight, often disguised, to only be found by the people who are trying to find them.
 
Geocaches come in all shapes, sizes, and types — and some may be more cleverly deceptive than you can even imagine. Cache owners will always include a log book for you to sign to record your successful find. Larger containers might also include some treasures to be traded or moved to other cache locations — like with trackable tags, personal keepsakes, and the occasional geocoin hoping to be passed on to the next adventurer. Once you are done with the container, simply place it back exactly as you found it for the next explorer to discover.
 
With a constantly growing community of geocachers there is no limit to how you can get in on the fun. You can play as a family in your neighborhood and parks, add some cache seeking to your jogging or fitness routine, or challenge yourself with some all-terrain caches on a hike near your favorite trails. Use the map to find local events held by the community around the world to learn the best tips and tricks for finding caches and the impact this global game has had on their lives. If you’re lucky enough, they may even share some of the TOTT (tools of the trade!) with you to make sure no treasure gets left behind on your search.

Navigation does not work in appropriate way on Android phone. On iPhone it shows actual navigation, but my Samsung Galaxy is limited to a straight line, quite useless as I am not flying. Another issue is map quality. With identical settings the map is significantly better on an iPhone. Unfortunately Groundspeak support response was generic and useless when contacted about these problems. If you want to piss off a paying customer, send them a canned response. In general I am quite disappointed.

As far as geocaching apps go, it's not the be all end all, but it's pretty good and useful. Some features like exporting a serious (map view?) of caches as a single kml or gpx would be great for us driving off and on road vehicles etc to use with in-car displays and external GPS devices. Keep it up. The app is otherwise very practical.

Went out geocaching with my youngest this morning, started walking in the general direction of the cache and then turned to navigation in the app and it is not working. while not in navigation mode the GPS/location/direction works fine, but in navigation mode you get a blue line as the crow flies, a blue arrow pointing north and no tracking. Seems there are other reviews with similar troubles.
