c:geo

“Navigate to a cache or a waypoint of a cache with the built-in compass function, the map or hand over the coordinates to various external apps (e.g. Radar, Google Navigation, StreetView, Locus, Navigon, Sygic and many more).”

“Store cache information to your device directly from geocaching.com as well as via GPX file import to have it available whenever you want. You can manage your stored caches in different lists and can sort and filter them according to your needs. Stored caches together with offline map files or static maps can be used to find caches without an internet connection (e.g. when roaming). Logs can be posted online or stored offline for later submission or exported via field notes. Search and discover trackables, manage your trackable inventory and drop a Trackable while posting a cache log.”

“As for example adventure lab caches do not have any D/T-rating, filtering for certain D/T-values will exclude adventure labs as a consequence. In such cases you should enable the option “Include inconclusive results” in the advanced filter setting to have all caches included, where the filter criteria cannot be applied.”

“For search in offline-caches (e.g. search in lists) the filter-search is completly done in c:geo with the stored information.”

“This is not (yet) possible. While we are against mass logging of caches still batch sending offline stored logs might be meaningful as this is another use case. Therefore we are thinking about implementing this but we encourage you to use the existing field note submission for the time being.”

“Open a cache in c:geo and create a new waypoint with the real final coordinates. Before saving the waypoint tap the selection “Set as cache coordinates in c:geo and on website”. Once you saved the waypoint the real final coordinates will be uploaded to the website.”

“When importing caches via GPX file (e.g. download a pocket query) some data is missing. That is because the GPX file format does not contain all information which is available online. The following information is missing or incomplete: Some logs (only the 5 recent logs are provided) Friends / Own logs Favorite points Spoiler and Log images Status of your watchlist GCVote rating Trackable inventory This information can be downloaded by manual “Refresh”, either individually cache by cache or for all caches in a list.”

“c:geo is beloved in the Android community for its flexibility. It supports geocaching.com, alternative listing sites, offline maps, GPX imports, and much more. It’s more powerful than the official app, especially for offline use during hikes, but the interface can look a bit more technical.”

“I use c:geo for Android. It's free, and much better than the Geocaching app if you don't have a premium account. The Geocaching app only shows low D/T caches, where c:geo shows them all (except premium caches, which require a premium account). It's easy to use and has a lot of good features.”

“I am a huge fan of gceo. New users should be aware that it requires a bit more exploration and configuration than the official app.”

“c:geo is an open source, full-featured, always ready-to-go unofficial client for geocaching.com and offers basic support for other geocaching platforms (such as Opencaching). It does not require a web browser or exports - just install it and start right away.”

“No, you have to use the Adventure Lab app by Groundspeak to play the Adventure Lab Cache.”

“No, c:geo is written for Android and has more than 50,000 lines of code. We will not port it to iOS or other non Android systems because it is too much work.”

“While you are using c:geo GPS should always be active except if you are in the settings menu. Only if you put your device to standby (switch off the screen) or switch to another app GPS will be deactivated to save battery. We have no plans to change this behavior or introduce another setting for this. If you wish to keep GPS always on, we recommend to use a dedicated app for this (e.g. GPS Lock).”

“While c:geo is in use it checks every 30 minutes for new notifications (these are shown on the homescreen of c:geo). Together with the IP of the device only the version of c:geo and the user’s language are transferred to our server. This data is kept only temporarily and deleted after 30 minutes.”

“5M+ Downloads”

“The favorite percentage shown in c:geo does not match with other sources! As c:geo cannot retrieve this information from the website, we have to calculate the favorite percentage ourselves. Since c:geo does not know how many finders could theoretically award a favorite point to the cache (only those, who are premium members) we can only calculate using the favorite points divided by the number of total finds. This means, that the percentage shown in c:geo will be less then the percentage shown on the website. There is nothing we can do about this for the time being.”

“We use GeoIP to estimate the user’s location from the IP address (which usually points to the next big city or county). With this information it is possible to create a heatmap of people currently using c:geo. It is neither possible to track individual users, nor do we ever track your individual GPS-position.”

“I used C:geo for several years but dropped it in favor of GeoohGo for serious heavy duty caching and geocaching.com for light duty caching.”
