Help with extra locations/Waypoints October 06, 2019, 11:54:59 PM Hi,me again - still a newbie I'm wondering what the best way is to use Geooh for a (earth) cache which has a point (waypoint?) in the description which I need to walk to to answer a question - like this one https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GCZDD2I worked out how to copy the location ( S 35 17.898 E 149 06.844) from the description, and then put it in as a waypoint - but then, the only way I seemed to be able to get to it was navigation via google maps.So, I guess I have 2 questions.1. is there an easy way to get locations from a cache description into a usable place/form2. then how do I get the compass to get me thereI'm probably missing something obvious, so feel free to point me at some doco.Thanks Quote Selected
Re: Help with extra locations/Waypoints Reply #1 – October 07, 2019, 07:39:38 AM Hi again,1) No, there is not a different way to extract description waypoints other than copy paste. But, that is a good idea so I'll add it to a to-do list for a future feature.2) After you add a waypoint (or already have any) you will see a Waypoints row in the cache page (along with Description, Hint, Attributes, etc). Click that row to see the list of waypoints. At the bottom will be the map icon button to show all the waypoints on the map. From there it will function like the map for caches... click a waypoint and you can see distance and open the compass for it. Quote Selected

Re: Help with extra locations/Waypoints Reply #3 – October 09, 2019, 05:05:09 AM So, it was awesome, yesterday when I tried it.When I looked again tonight though, I couldn't find the option.I re-followed your instructions above.I refreshed the cacheI restarted the appI rebooted the phone.But, still, no map icon.See screenshot - any ideas what I'm doing wrong?Thanks again.

Re: Help with extra locations/Waypoints Reply #5 – October 09, 2019, 09:47:01 PM I worked out that if I'm looking at a cache on the regular map, then the waypoints appear, and I can click on the waypoint description and navigate to it via the map and compass from that screen.But, the map icon on the bottom of my waypoints list screen is definitely not there.Thanks Quote Selected

Re: Help with extra locations/Waypoints Reply #7 – October 10, 2019, 03:35:26 AM Hi Haudek,Thanks for your interest, and your helpful gif - what tool did you use to create it ?However, I tried, it, and I think that the only coordinates available for me to copy are the cache itself (S 35° 17.902 E 149° 06.819) , and not the waypoint coordinates which are buried in the description (S 35 17.898 E 149 06.844) Best Regards Quote Selected
Re: Help with extra locations/Waypoints Reply #8 – October 10, 2019, 03:59:19 AM Yes, Waypoint from the description can only be copied manually (select text and copy).Then you can add it to the offline list and it will be displayed on the map.But how else can this be resolved?Each time the application is to check all descriptions, are there no coordinates saved in them?Maybe some "Search waypoints in description" button?On the other hand, it is probably a relatively rare situation when the waypoint is not added "officially", but only in the description.GIF:a) taking five screenshotsb) editing files (pink frames and texts)c) ezgif.com/maker + resized) uploading files to postimages.orge) "insert an image" to post Quote Selected 1 Likes

Just continue back until you exit the map and then show the waypoints list.I know it's a bit clumsy, but given the current architecture it's what has to be done. Quote Selected
