Geosphere doesn't like me
Ok, I have Geosphere showing GC and GCA caches. Ideally, I'd like GCA only but haven't worked that out yet.
However, how do I get the bloody app to see where I am, when I'm out in the field? I've turned on locations in my iphone settings. Really, this is making it hard to cache the GCA ones

Re: Geosphere doesn't like me
Hmmm, just looked at the filters in Geosphere and I can't see a Source option - which is what I use in GSAK to filter from only one site.
As for not showing where you are - are any location services working on other apps? I had the problem a while ago on my iPhone and from memory it required power cycling.

I created a Group called GCA. When I import a gpx with GCA caches I put it into the GCA group. I can then filter only for this group.

When you import the GPX files, you are asked to put them in the right group.Chasburgs wrote:Ok, I have Geosphere showing GC and GCA caches. Ideally, I'd like GCA only but haven't worked that out yet.

So I have (at least) two groups, one called "GCA - NSW" and one called "Groundspeak - NSW".
In the offline caches tab, go to the filter and select only the "GCA- NSW" group.

That question doesn't make sense without a little bit more information.

Re: Geosphere doesn't like me
Other apps are working with location yes. Including other caching apps.
What I mean is when you go into caches online, the app always thinks I'm at home and starting from there, it's not picking up that I am elsewhere so when I click on a cache it says for instance 4.1km when in fact it's only 100m away.
Will have a play with the group bit and see if that helps. Thanks guys.

Tap on the pointy arrow "button" at the bottom, that will bring it to where you are.Chasburgs wrote:Other apps are working with location yes. Including other caching apps.

Re: Geosphere doesn't like me
Check that you haven't accidentally turned GPS off from within Geosphere. Open Geosphere, then tap the Grid icon in the top, left-hand side of the screen. In the bottom, right-hand corner of the window that will then appear, you will see a set of vertical bars with a satellite icon sitting just over them. If those bars aren't coloured green and have a red circle with a red line through it, the phone's GPS has been turned off. Just tap that icon to turn it back on.

Re: Geosphere doesn't like me
I suppose it could be useful if you find using a GPS, and just use Geosphere to look at the listing details and logs. Otherwise it seems strange
