The color indicates the favorite's status. Yellow is the standard favorite color, while red typically indicates that the favorite is currently active or selected. The color changes automatically based on the current state.

The developer's point about vehicle magnetic interference and Android location polling makes a lot of sense. Phone magnetometers are super sensitive to all the metal and electronics in a car or even a bike frame, which completely explains that sudden 3-5 second heading jump when the sensor tries to correct itself. Whenever I notice my map jumping around or drifting like that, I like to isolate whether it's an app issue or just my phone's hardware acting up. I usually run a quick sanity check on https://123compass.org/ because it launches a clean compass and calibration test right in the mobile browser. If the heading behaves smoothly on the webpage but jumps in the mapping software, you know it's a polling conflict—otherwise, it's just the phone's hardware needing a serious figure-8 reset.

I’ve run into similar issues before, and one thing that helped was double-checking app permissions and forcing a refresh/reload after changing the settings. Sometimes the app keeps old data cached longer than expected. Hopefully that points someone in the right direction while a more permanent fix is worked out.

Little tips like these can save a lot of frustration when you're out caching. I’ll definitely give it a try next time I'm setting things up - always nice to learn a simpler way of doing things.

That’s a clever idea. It’s always nice when tools like this make geocaching a bit more interactive and help discover places you probably wouldn’t have visited otherwise.

I’ve noticed that too with some GEOOH hunts - sometimes the difficulty feels more about spotting the hidden pattern than the actual terrain. The creative hides are what make it fun though, even when they’re a little frustrating at first.

A lot of GPS weirdness like this ends up being surprisingly device-specific too. I had one phone that constantly drifted or lost lock while another on the same app worked perfectly. Clearing the AGPS data and forcing a fresh satellite download helped a ton in my case.

There is an error indicating a corrupt database for you. If possible, backup via Geooh if you want to save settings, offline lists, cartridges, etc. then go into Android settings -> app -> Geooh -> storage -> then clear storage/cache. You may need to uninstall/reinstall if that doesn't work to see if the corrupted files can be cleared out.
