C:geo is free for android. I'm not sure if it's available for iPhone.
Edit : Here's the link, since I think some folks are looking at the wrong one : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cgeo.geocaching
non puoi fare una lezione di geocaching senza consigliare l'app c:geo.
Raga lasciate stare l'app ufficiale, fatevi un account free sul sito e poi usate c:geo, potete partire senza sborsare un euro e trovare tantissime cache.
(parola di uno con oltre 480 find)
I'm using c:geo for caching and Pebble Navigation/Geocaching on the watch side. Fantastic combo when bicycling through a multi that spans over 10-20 kilometers. Pebbleme navigation / geocaching
I am also going to say c:geo.
On Android it is by far the best, and much better than the official app. (I have recently moved to iPhone, and haven't found something as good as c:geo)
Yep. The best Android app is c:geo.
You can find out about online accounts from the app. The most popular is: https://www.geocaching.com/play
The caches are everywhere! Country, city, towns, villages. You'll be very suprised just how many are out there. Its like a whole new world. When I first started I found out there was one right outside my house. I'd lived there 2 years and never knew.
If you're on Android, I'd recommend the 3rd-party app c:geo. The official free Geocaching app has some restrictions, and c:geo won't.
Also plugging /r/geocaching.
Polecam geocaching. Nawet jeśli szukanie plastikowych pudełek po lasach cię nie wciągnie, zawsze będziesz mieć bazę ciekawych miejsc.
W Polsce najlepszy jest http://opencaching.pl - działający w idei Open Source i darmowy serwis.
(edycja, żeby się nie pogubić)
Istnieje jeszcze ogólnoświatowy, komercyjny geocaching.com, ale tam funkcjonalność jest dużo mniejsza i dodatkowo na każdym kroku ograniczają darmowych użytkowników, by zachęcić ich do płacenia rocznego abonamentu. Z jakiegoś powodu* statystycznie też założone tam kesze są gorsze, choć oczywiście dużo zależy od miejscowej specyfiki, kto działa na danym terenie, oraz są wybitne i mierne skrzynki po obu stronach.
*) mam kilka teorii: 1) brak systemu ocen, które zachęcają twórców do postarania się, 2) krótki staż w Polsce: do niedawna gc.com praktycznie nie istniało w kraju w porównaniu do oc.pl, z 6-7 lat zajęło im nadgonienie (i po prawdzie przegonienie) liczbą keszy, jak można się spodziewać to często masówka zakładana byle jak i byle gdzie
Na Androida polecam apkę c:geo. Opencaching.pl włączysz w Ustawieniach > Serwisy.
Jakbyś miał jakieś pytania, wal śmiało.
Cauta pe Scribd Bucurestiul intr-o zi si Podul Mogoşoaiei. Povestea unei străzi de Gheorghe Crutzescu pentru a descoperi locuri frumoase. Utilă este harta Geocaching cu peste 500 de locații interesante si programul c:geo pe Android.

Lake Crabtree has hiking, walking trails, picnic space, and inexpensive boat/kayak/paddleboard rentals.
NC Botanical Gardens in Chapel Hill has gardens, hiking, and sometimes special events. The Raulston Arboretum in Raleigh also has gardens.
The Eno River State Park has hiking, historical sites, and sometimes special events, including paddling.
You could also check out events like "Last Fridays" in Hillsborough, Second Fridays in Chapel Hill, or Third Fridays in Durham-- there is usually free music, art, vendors, shops open late, entertainment, etc. at these events.
Geocaching is free & a lot of fun if you like to spend time outdoors. You can just install a free app like "c:geo" (for Android) to get started. Geocaching can be done almost anywhere in the Triangle, from urban areas to any of the aforementioned parks!
Ciao amico geocacher. Piccolo consiglio , scaricati l'app c:geo, che è l'app non ufficiale, molto leggera e con un sacco di funzioni extra. Mi pare che ti permetta di vedere anche le cache premium. Usa un buon smartphone (non stare a comprarti il GPS se sei alle prime armi, io gioco da un paio di anni, principalmente nelle città, e mai ne ho avuto bisogno), scaricati le mappe offline.
Sii rispettoso del gioco, affidati alla community, per mia esperienza in quella italiana ci sono un sacco di brave persone super disponibili verso i nuovi geocacher.
Buon divertimento, non puntare subito alla cache sulla ISS!
Can't exactly predict the future on that one, however there are alternatives currently that can store caches for offline use.
Can't say I have any experience with Cachly, but c:geo makes storing caches for offline use pretty darn easy. I do recommend staying away from the official paid app as all sources point to it being phased out.
This app is the best, and it is free: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cgeo.geocaching
There are a ton of great, easy caches in our area. Any specific area you are looking to start in?
Not sure what kind of phone you have but C:Geo is an awesome free Geocaching app for Android. The compass can be a little wonky at times, and the GUI takes a little getting used to, but other than that it works like a charm!
Good luck!
Fürn Anfang würd ich wieder mit ein/zwei Leuten irgendwo in der Natur bei einem Spaziergang einen größeren Cache empfehlen. (also nicht in der Stadt, wo ständig Leute komisch schauen; und nicht Micro- sondern Regular-Größe, damit man auch was hat davon :)
Ich schau immer wieder mit c:geo obs in meiner gegend was gibt, wenn ich grad Zeit hab - geht ohne Premium ganz gut.
Stupid question, but you mean now, right? Sounds like you've probably still got a car and such.
Have you ever tried geocaching? It's fun, and you really just need a smartphone and an app. In geocaching, people hide little containers around the real world - some small enough to just hold a piece of paper you can sign to say "lostslcdogs was here," others big enough to hold all kinds of fun trinkets. Then they go to geocaching.com (or maybe others? I don't know) and list the GPS coordinates of the thing they placed, with a name and a description and maybe a hint. Using your GPS-enabled device, you go to those coordinates in the real world and try to find the thing they hid, sign the log, swap trinkets, and mark on the website that you were there. (You don't have to mark down which ones you've been to, but it helps you remember which ones you've done.)
If you're on Android, c:geo is a good, free app. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cgeo.geocaching&hl=en
There are tons of caches down near Jordan River, in parks, etc., and it's not snowy enough yet to be a real problem. If you need tips, write me - I'm happy to help explain stuff. :)
Als ik een aanpassing mag doen. Geocaching.com is een grote site, maar ze hebben veel achter een betaalmuur gedaan (wat m.i. de hobby een beetje kapot heeft gemaakt)
Probeer qua app (iig op android) c:geo. Adfree en open source. Kan ook meerdere geocache websites erin laden. Geocaching is nameljk niet de enige site die geocaches host :)
I just got my young ones into this hobby! It had been several years since I've gone geocaching and I'm glad to pass on the hobby.
I did have some problems running the official app some time ago and found this alternative one. Happy hunting! C:Geo
Please, get c:geo and use offline maps: http://ftp-stud.hs-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/download.mapsforge.org/maps/ You can even load the cache details offline in c:geo
I used https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cgeo.geocaching&hl=en
on android. But I guess this would work too: http://www.geocaching.com/mobile/
The thing about the smart phone GPS is it's inaccurate enough that you have to figure out where a cache could be possibly hidden. I've only been able to find 1 out of 5. It's an interesting activity, especially if you're doing it in your own neighbor, places that you've passed by so many time, but really haven't looked. It forces you to examine these familiar places and see what's there.
Geocaching! as long as you have a phone, get the c:geo app , great reson to go for a walk somewhere and is like treasure hunting!
Geocaching for sure. If you use Android C:geo is a free app. To avoid data usage I have to plan a bit, download the particular caches before I set out but it works pretty well.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cgeo.geocaching&hl=en
On Android there is c:geo app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cgeo.geocaching
You can see all cashes for free (well except premium ones, but for that you have to have premium anyways). It's a little scuffed but works fine and doesn't limit you
Clicking the heart sounds right - maybe someone else can help (or ask support).
I use c:geo for Android (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cgeo.geocaching) - I don't know if it's any better but it's what I've always used, from when the official app cost extra.
> The subscription isn’t a requirement to have fun.
Almost all of the caches in the areas I'm interested in are private on the Geocaching.com app
Groundspeak Inc. didn't invent geocaching, but it appears that they've largely co-opted it, even though so much of it is user-driven. The way they keep increasing their fees leaves a bad taste in my mouth, and makes me hesitant to support them.
Luckily for me there's the open source c:geo app, which allows you to see all the caches for free.
Yeah the one you want is c:geo. It has all the important features, obviously displaying caches on a live map, but you can also browse nearby caches when you have a data connection, log them from your phone, preload caches and maps for later, and there's even a way to send caches from chrome to the app. It is excellent and free.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cgeo.geocaching
If you haven't already, I highly suggest downloading C:Geo for Android. The app is totally free, links up with Geocaching.com as well as other common websites like Opencaching, and recently they released an addon for the watches that lets you use the compass and a few other features. I haven't tried the addons, but the main app itself is wonderful, and I find myself using my phone more often than any other method for caching! After reading the reviews, the app for the watch may not be there yet, but I would definitely keep an eye on it as the developer team tends to be really good at listening to reviews and fixing bugs on a timely schedule.

Early Samsung phones - esp. on CDMA networks - had a really bad reputation for inaccurate GPS receivers. So it may well have been the hardware, not the software.
But to your question, I wouldn't recommend the Geocaching app on Android. There are a number of better 3rd party apps what are much better. C:Geo is the most popular one around here. I personally use GCDroid.
IDK, but $2.50 per month doesn't seem all that bad for a year premium subscription.
If one is rocking an android phone, there is C:Geo that is a great free app. (You're SOL for a good free iPhone caching app).
Everything else the OP is complaining about is optional, but you can find good deals on if you pay attention.
Hey I geocache some with my Android. Groundspeak has Android apps as well but their premium version is $10. So I tried c:geo just to see what geocaching was like. My kids and I have found dozens of caches using that app. It works great, and its really a lot of fun. I enjoyed that app so much I never went back to try the premium version. It very well could be worth the money but the free c:geo app is pretty great.
If you have an android, I think that this is the best one by far: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cgeo.geocaching&hl=en
Just make a free account at geocaching.com and hook it into the app. If you really like doing it, buy a premium account to get the private caches.
If you have iPhone, I'm not sure what the best app is. You'd probably have to looking on geocaching.com's forum.
Good luck, I like it and have picked up caches in 5 countries now. ;-)
OH....and the caches are rated by how easy they are. Tip, DO NOT go for the micro caches first. They can be as small as a thumb nail and very frustrating for a beginner. Go for the bigger ones first so you can start seeing all the tricks. There's a /r/geocaching subreddit too.
If you have an Android phone, c:geo is a much better app. It's completely free too.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cgeo.geocaching&hl=en
Never heard of geo caching having a subscription I have been using c:geo for years, is great
Dude, You have an Android, use c:geo, it's way better than the official app.
You can use c:geo which requires no subscription or payment whatsoever.
Am postat și ieri dar a dispărut topicul.
Legat de evenimente educative, săptămâna viitoare, în perioada 22 - 25 August are loc GeoQuest XI în Piatra Craiului, jud. Brașov.
GeoQuest este adunarea anuală a geocacherilor din România, dar este binevenit oricine care deține un dispozitiv GSP sau un Smartphone cu aplicația <strong>c:geo</strong> pe Android sau Geocaching pe iPhone și este dornic să își facă prieteni noi și sa descopere locuri interesante cu ajutorul GPS-ului.

If you are lucky enough to have an android phone, c:geo gets around those limitations a bit better than the official app. You still can't see premium member only caches, but it gets around the 1.5/1.5 limitations.
Failing that, if you are on another type of device, as you mentioned you can partner a database of caches along with any type of mapping application you like. If you get serious about caching, chances are this will become tedious fast.
It's not a lot for a premium membership, and it breaks down to be pretty affordable so most of the time you'll find that people tend to support simply getting a premium membership. If it's worth it to you... well, only you can really answer that. If saving money is a big deal at the moment, and you can't try c:geo - try the database thing for a bit, to see if your interest really sticks. If it does go premium. Just my .02 anyway. Welcome to geocaching!
TLDR: If you have an android - c:geo. If not, I've used Cachly on IOS devices, but it costs just a bit - and is only fully functional with a premium membership. Otherwise, get your feet wet a bit more with any other type of database mapping you like. :)
Edit to address for the phone vs GPS device question: It basically boils down to convenience. Most (not all) GPS devices will require some advanced planning before going out to the field to find stuff. IE, loading up the database of caches, or inputting cords, etc. For on the fly caching smart phones are still king. GPS devices do have the benefit of higher accuracy and will yield better results in high tree cover, next to large objects, etc so they do tend to have that benefit. I own a dedicated GPS that I rarely use but I carry for backup and geocache placement (when I'm going to get really spot on cords for a hide I'm placing.) There are a few loyalists that will swear up and down it HAS to be a dedicated GPS device.... these people are silly.
If you're on Android, the unofficial c:geo app is the way to go.
There's also a good community over at /r/geocaching
C-Geo is a good geocaching app for Android.
Or if you're on Android give c:geo a try. It doesn't have that restriction, just doesn't show premium caches. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cgeo.geocaching
I don't know about other platforms, but on Android c:geo is the most popular app.
I'll suggest some awesome apps that will keep you on your toes and help you learn shit. No iap or ads for this Earth knowledge.
Ya if you're just starting out and have an Android I'd suggest using c:geo.
The one I use is c:geo. Here's the link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cgeo.geocaching
The other highly recommended I've seen is c:geo.

Edit - Mulțumesc pentru Gold.
I saw a LOT of geocaches on the c:geo app on android
yes me too cgeo is by far the best https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cgeo.geocaching
This is the app i use (for Android), its free and works pretty well: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cgeo.geocaching&hl=en
Die selbe die man dafür "seit immer" verwendet: geocaching.com
Klar, hat irgendwie mal alternative Projekte wie opencaching gegeben... aber da hats an den Orten wo ich bisher gelebt habe, kaum bis gar nichts gegeben....
Heutzutage spielt man das natürlich aufm Handy und nicht wie dato mit extra GPS Geräten.... wenn man nen kostenlosen Account hat, würde ich auf Android die App c:geo verwenden. Mit Premium Account (30€/Jahr) hingegen die offizielle
Von iOS hab ich keinen Plan.
c:geo (besplatna app za geocachere, tjera te da ideš van i tražiš, krećeš se, otkrivaš nova mjesta u svom gradu ili mjestu, besplatna za korištenje za razliku od službene aplikacije)
Lose Weight aplikacije (ima više varijanti, besplatne su, 15 minuta dnevno vježbaš, prilagodba težine, prati i dnevni unos vode)
Cats in Time (logička igra, dobra i za klince i za starije, domaći proizvod)
CCleaner (čisti mobitel od cachea, .temp i sličnih fajli)
Try c:geo.
Here are low-cost, COVID-friendly ideas! Hope something here sparks your interest.
Visit the North Carolina Botanical Garden in Chapel Hill. They have Twilight Thursdays through Labor Day-- open late til 8pm, picnics welcome.
Hike at Eno River State Park in Durham.
Hike or bike at Occoneechee Mountain State Park in Hillsborough, then grab food in downtown Hillsborough and picnic by the Eno River or historic courthouse.
Support the Black Farmers Market. Go home and cook a good meal with what you buy!
Hike at Lake Crabtree County Park in Morrisville. They have a nice loop trail around the lake. They used to have free boat rentals; hopefully they will start that back up again soon!
Kayak or canoe on the Haw River (several companies offer boat rentals). Then go hang out in nearby Saxapahaw.
Kayak or canoe at Eno River, Falls Lake, or Jordan Lake with Frog Hollow Outdoors.
Ride bikes on the lovely Neuse River Greenway Trail. The Bike Guy On The Greenway rents bikes for this purpose if you need.
Ride bikes on the American Tobacco Trail. The Bicycle Chain used to do rentals, but I don't see it on their website anymore.
Pick-your-own [whatever is in season]. Strawberry season is over, but throughout the year there are a variety of pick-your-own places for blueberries, blackberries, grapes, etc. Further out from the Triangle, there are farms within day-trip driving distance where you can pick your own apples and probably other stuff! Local examples: Herndon Hills Farm and Eno River Farm.
Geocaching: go to geocaching.com to make an account and see what caches are near you! I use the free c:geo for Android. I've explored so many new places via geocaching. Geocaching also gives structure when visiting parks that look cool but maybe don't actually have that many activities to do.
Also check out AdventureLabs. It's like geocaching, but way more structured like an actual scavenger hunt where you answer questions in the app. I did one that was a mural tour of Durham and one that was a scavenger hunt of symbols on Duke's campus. Both really fun!
Visit JC Raulston Arboretum in Raleigh.
Visit NC Museum of Art. They have a Citrix Cycle station there and you could take the bike paths to downtown for a meal or treats.
Go to the RDU Observation Park
If you have an Android:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cgeo.geocaching
If you have an Android phone I highly recommend c:geo. You can make a projection in the app and save it there.
Geocaching got me outside. It's a lot of fun and can be quite challenging. Geocaching.com is the best place to start. I'd recommend either the c:geo app as it's more customizable and robust then the Geocaching.com app.
I got started with geocaching via the Reddit Secret Santa back in 2013. My gifter sent me a copy of "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Geocaching", a 30-day premium membership to geocaching.com, a Travel Bug, a geocaching.com lanyard, and a collectable geocaching coin. I knew what geocaching was when I got this but I had never done it. This was exactly the kick in the pants we — my daughter and I — needed to get out there and start doing it, and we've been doing it ever since.
The Geocaching Shop has a bunch of starter kits at various price points to get people going quickly. I'm more of a DIY'er so if I were to come up with a "Deluxe Geocaching Gift" for a loved one I'd likely include:
- A 12 month premium membership
- One or two trackables
- A copy of C:geo (if Android) or Cachly (if iPhone)
- A geocaching field kit: tweezers, flashlight, garden gloves, pen/pencil, waterproof note paper, basic first aid kit (band-aids, antiseptic, anti-sting, pain relievers), wet wipes, water bottle, and hand sanitizer — all in a small sling bag, like this
After gifting the person I'd then take him out on his first geocaching expedition, likely to a cache that I've already found (so I know it's there) and let him make the find. Then walk him through signing the log and registering it on geocaching.com. Then, see how he feels about it. If there are younger kids in the house as well then take them along too; they will help motivate your father. In my experience kids really enjoy geocaching, though I'd advise against taking them to caches that require a substantial hike (about 1/4 mile is about as far as many kids are willing to walk).
More information what kind of set up you are working with would be helpful in providing you suggestions. Working with iOS, android, a dedicated GPS?
As I'm an android user, I also like c:geo combined with the mapping application locus - free version or the paid version. I find it a lot easier to store offline stuffs with locus - but be warned it has a bit of a learning curve.
If you just want a guide for the offline stuffs with c:geo, I have this bookmark handy -offline caching with android. Otherwise let us know what you are working with and we'll try to provide more suggestions. :)
J'utilise ca mais il y a aussi un app officielle (mais celle la est mieux je trouve)
I've always used c:geo
