Support / Re: How do I use offline maps?
Got it working.  Missed that check box.
Learning this app is a bit like learning GSAK.  If you want to play with ALL of the knobs, it takes quite a bit of effort - but always worth it in the end.

Support / Re: How do I use offline maps?
From home screen, when I look at the left 'drawer' (I assume you mean what happens when you pan left to right), I see Geocaches (gray), Profile, WheriGO, Lists, GeoTours, TB Scanner, TB Logger, Share Lists, and Manage Counties (gray).  I don't see the "Enhanced" option.  I'm a 2x/year subscriber.  Will be in some areas soon with zero cellular or WiFi coverage, and would like to download some maps in advance to use offline.  I have 11.11.05.

Requests / Re: Finding Good, Now Time for Hiding
Working great.  I didn't realize that there had to be an existing list showing (any list) in order to get that feature working.  I was looking for something similar to the + on some other menu, I guess.  Will test out the averaging against a known point and see how it goes.  Thanks.

Requests / Re: Finding Good, Now Time for Hiding
OK.  I'm being dense about your post = Reply #4, "Inserting waypoint in an offline list".   How do I navigate to that place in the app?  Again, I struggle a little with the UI.  Looking forward to that manual you were talking about!

Requests / Finding Good, Now Time for Hiding
So far, I'm quite pleased with the 'finding' side of Geooh.  It takes a little adjustment to learn the UI for a few things, but it does them well.

Now, it's time to address the 'hiding' side and an associated request regarding coordinates.

Second issue first:  Would it be possible to add current coordinates to the compass view or some other?  Many times, the posted coordinates are in question, and some other finder has posted alternate coordinates that are likely better than the posted ones.  So you have to move toward these new coordinates, not exactly where the arrow/distance points.  At such times, it is helpful to have the current coordinates displayed so that you can adjust your location to them.  So far, I don't see within the app any way of viewing the current coordinates of the phone at all.

First issue:  Hiding caches doesn't really seem to be addressed by Geooh ... unless I've missed something again!  Rather than using a separate app, would it be possible to include a display of current coordinates along with some kind of waypoint averaging feature?  That's one of my knocks on so many of these phone apps for geocaching -- they do not include 'best practices' software for doing waypoint averaging for hiding caches.

Support / Re: List Sharing
Interesting.  I'm still not comfortable enough with the Nearby protocol to employ it for anything serious.  The potential for MitM attacks was one of the obvious places to look at this kind of technology, and it appears that there are still vulnerabilities.

The downloadable PDF here makes some interesting reading >> https://francozappa.github.io/publication/rearby/

Requests / Auto Routing
Pleased to have moved from freebie to paid status.  Now that we're there, is there a plan in place to re-establish the Google street routing in the app?  Pressed the bar at the top where the distance shows, but didn't see anything happening (yet)!
