Geocaching iOS App version 4.0.1

by Darrylw4 on July 28, 2010

Groundspeak's update to their Geocaching iOS App hit the App Store today. Version 4.0.1 includes a number of bug fixes and enhancements. More information is available in their release notes. Unfortunately there are some known issues which still remain in this version. Some of those include issues with large pocket queries and additional waypoints which don't appear on the map. I'm looking forward to getting this version onto my iPhone 3G S and tested with iOS 4.

MotionX GPS Lite version 12.1

by Darrylw4 on July 3, 2010


I misses it yesterday but MotionX's free GPS app for iOS was updated Thursday in the App Store. This can be a great tool for those GPSR users looking for that functionality from their iPhone or iPod Touch with a GPS dock (i.e. Dual XGPS300).
