We could use some help please? Hubby and I went out this morning to complete a Wherigo, one that could be completed anywhere, as a precursor to a full series. We've worked with Wherigo before, both in the original app and, more recently, in Geooh GO so we knew what we were doing. At each stage I saw a message flash up that it was being autosaved, however, we ran out of time to finish it before we had to be somewhere else. I have now tried to reload it but get the error message "There was a problem loading the cartridge. If resuming a saved game, be sure it was previously saved with WheriGO" The cartridge then loads but has reset to no progress.
Could anyone help us figure out what the issue is please? I loaded a previously completed cartridge to check if it was a global issue, but that loaded fine and all the data was there. I am using a Samsung S22+ with Android 16 installed.

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.

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

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.
