Yes, turn on nearby geocaches in settings and they will show on a list/map screen after selecting nearby on the main Android Auto screen.

Support / Map icons in Android Auto
Last post by GoldNugget -
I am a new user and I want to view nearby geocaches in Android Auto as I drive. I installed Geooh GO solely for this feature. However I can't get it to display the cache icons on the map, just a list at the top of the screen. Is there a setting I need to adjust to display the map icons? I apologize if this has been asked a hundred times before. I haven't been able to find an answer.
Thanks for your help!

I'm still trying to find a way to use OS 1:50000 and 1:25000 tiles in your app, You have the options to use the OS Road, Outdoor and Light categories, but not their Leisure category.  Would it be possible to add that to your app?  I suspect the problem may be that it uses the EPSG:27700  British National Grid coord system whereas the others use EPSG:3857 which is global Mercator

 I've been experimenting with my own URL server that will give the OS 1:50000 and 1:25000 tiles based on zyx values, but I suspect there'll be an accuracy problem.

not that. I suspect it's an incompatibility between the url and my key as although I can use a hard-coded version of that link and my key on my browser, it doesn't work in that form on the Geocaching Map Enhancements add-on either.

I'll search to see if I can find any specific working examples

Ok, the URL link is showing z/x/y as the format, but your example shows z/y/x. Is that the issue?

no. That's just a mistake in my post here.  I've double-checked my parameter.
Is there a error code/message I can check?

Since my last post on this topic, I've been successfully using an alternative geocaching app using a Bing quad key, but now that Microsoft are focussed on Azure which doesn't support OS maps, I'm wary about how-long that key will work.
I've obtained an OS map API key with which I can access their Leisure_27700 maps, but can't get their tile address to work as an alternative map.
All I get is a white map, so I guess it's returning an error message.
The address I'm using is https://api.os.uk/maps/raster/v1/zxy/Leisure_27700/[z}/{y}/{x}.jpg?key= followed by my personal key.
If I hard-code {z}/{y}/{x} an OS Leisure map tile is displayed, but obviously it's not the correct one for my coords.

Is there any change I can make to get these to work?

Thanks, I also sent you an email. For others to know:

Some of the new Google software for navigation that Geooh uses has a problem with Android 12 when loading a map. Another version that’s waiting for Google to release it reverts the Google software to an older version which should correct it. It should be available sometime today.

Support / App crashing on Android v12 Samsung S10 plus
Last post by themafo -
After the latest update, the app is crashing as soon as I open Live Map. It starts loading the map, and then closes.
I have tested this on two different Samsung S10+ phones. And the same thing occurs after the latest update: v15.2.4

I sent an email with diagnostics from the app as well.

I have tried different settings before opening the live map. Checking if any of those functions triggers it. Did no difference.
As well as clearing the apps buffer and data. Then clearing all data, uninstalling, rebooting, reinstalling and so on. No difference. So
Tested with both another user's lite version, and my own enhanced subscripted account.
No errors on my new S25 Ultra.

I hope I can get an answer from anyone in here.
