On my Tablet in the market app it has his email, but not on the Android Market Webpage!!!

On your phone it should be under 'Developer' below the app description in the market app

Hi Everyone
Just stumbled on this app a while ago and am using it on my Galaxy Tab, HTC Sensation and HTC Legend. Works like a dream but was crashing on the Tab. Will try with the latest version.
Thanks

There was an issue with Tablets a few versions ago, update to the latest 0.17+ that works on my Xoom , if not let me know and I'll see if I can fix it.

You can bring up a compass, just not one built in to GCA Cacher.
Install "Locus Free" app first.
Then in GA Cacher in the cache list press down for a bit on a cache to bring up a list. Pick "GPS Radar" then "Locus Free"
A neat looking compass then appears showing distance and bearing to the cache. 8)

Unfortunately I've had to uninstall this because I can't move it to my SD card and I just can't fit it into my phone's memory.
At some point I'm going to have to root my phone but the instructions on doing this are very fragmented and I haven't felt comfortable with them as yet.

I'm looking at adding that feature soon, but given the app is less than 1Mb + 800kb for data , I'd be interested what sort of memory your device has?

The HTC Desire has 576Mb of internal RAM, and I have an 8 Gb SD card.

Most of my apps are stored on the SD card but after the Froyo system and the following apps which can't be switched out the SD card, I only have internally 5.72Mb left and I'm getting low memory warnings. I can't install any more apps which use any significant amount of internal memory.

Swype 13.84Mb
Maps 11.24 Mb
Market 5.84 MB (I keep uninstalling this and going back to the base version, but it keeps reinstalling itself)
HTC Sync 1.18Mb
Street View 604 kB
TM World Clock 408 KB
Missed Call 348 KB
GCWatch 200 KB
Battery Solo Widget 180 KB
Aussie Weather Radar 148 KB
Carhome Licence 148 KB
Telstra Net Meter 96 KB
