Support / Re: Wherigo, lost cartridge progress?
Yes, it's very strange! Android's built-in backup clearly didn't help me.  I guess I must have accidentally deleted the cartridge at some point.  :o  Or maybe an OS update messed it up somehow (I'm running Android 11).

Support / Re: Wherigo, lost cartridge progress?
I did use another app to view contents of folders: file app on my phone as well as Windows on my PC with the phone connected. (Windows shows more than the file app does, possibly to do with permissions.) I also used Windows to search for all .gwc files on my phone. This is what I found:

The default wherigo folder is empty, Download/Where

My documents folder contains .gwc files and I may have set this to my default wherigo folder (I don't recall, see below*) but if I did that means something changed my settings. I certainly didn't. When I open the .gwc file in that folder it starts a new game with no other option.

*When I started the wherigo last year, I first tried using the Whereyougo app without success. It's possible I had 2 copies of the same .gwc in different folders but yesterday there was only 1 copy in my documents folder and 1 in android/data/mention.android.whereyougo/files, the latter of which geooh would surely not be accessing. Yesterday I found a helpful FAQ on that app which I followed and got whereyougo working - it is using android/data/mention.android.whereyougo/files entirely separate from geooh go.

Questions:
1) Are you aware of any problems that may occur if I run whereyougo and geooh wherigo apps at the same time on the same cartridge? That's what I'm currently planning to do as backup.
2) Are there any files I can copy to my PC to backup my saved progress in a cartridge?

Thanks,

Support / Wherigo, lost cartridge progress?
Hi,
About a year ago I started a very long (28 miles hiking, https://coord.info/GC95BKC) wherigo, using Geooh GO - I only did 2 stages to test the app - it worked well and I know my progress was saved but now, when I want to continue the wherigo, there are no wherigo cartridges downloaded in downloads\where. 

I know I didn't use the app for anything else. I did update the app though - would that have lost the progress and/or changed the wherigo download folder?? 🤔 Any other thoughts on how/why the cartridge "disappeared"?

It's easy to download the cartridge again but can I recover my progress? Where are saved cartridges stored?

I can redo what I did before but I don't want to lose my progress again, it's going to take me multiple trips over months to hike the 28 miles.

Thanks for any help/info in advance!
Sue
