Hi John, Welcome to caching. I'm from your area. Here are a few local caches that I found when I was a newby and didn't have too much trouble with. http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga1973 (A nice walk once you find a place to park) http://coord.info/GCMTTQ (If you can find a time without too many peop...

I've settled on Locus for my smartphone caching. I used to use it happily without data. I can load in GCA gpx files and have all my caches in one app. I use openstreet maps on it (downloaded offline) which I like better than google for all the extra walking tracks that seen to be included in most ar...

Just downloaded 0.48 and static map now loads Mapquest OSM map. Perfect!!!

For me static maps are a nice but I'm not too worried. Just have to remember they don't work while I'm out and about.

I'm with Telstra as well.
This sounds like it could explain why I got a message from GA forums the other day saying I'd been banned for spamming as well.

Doesn't open for me in the browser on 3g but does open on wifi.

Google maps says "Unable to load URL" on Wifi and 3g. Opens in chrome ok.

I've got the same. Cache static map loads on wifi but not on 3g.
I can load the map from the front page fine on 3g.

I knew where to look and I got my surprise yesterday .
Thanks caughtatwork. Definitely worth the effort of the last couple of months.

The history button gives you a list of recent logs. Just long press on the cache and you can open for details and logging. Works great.

It's been working fine for me all morning.

I recently got a Fisher Space pen which is small and great for writing on wet logs but it has quite a fat nib so makes it hard for nanos. I carry a couple of fine point pens in the car that are better for these.

I can confirm that zipped gpx files loaded into Locus (on Android) gets the hints just fine.

I had some problems this morning in the field but when I got to work I saw that GCA was having issues.
