About Geocache Placer

Geocache placer is a tool for Geocachers, who wants to place their own Geocache, with a very precise position.

By averaging many positions you will get a position with a +/- 2 meters / +/-6 ft.

Use
The use is very simple, press start and wait for the first calculation of an average position. You can verify the result on the loaded map and if you are satisfied with the result, you can save it with the Share function. You can press run many times until you are satisfied with the position.

Geocache Placer features:
* GPS Averaging
* Save your caches/locations.
* Import other caches via GPX, exported from c:Geo or similar APP.
* 161m/528ft Circles (Distance between caches must be greater than 161m).
* Google Maps V2
* OpenStreetMaps (Online and Offline).
* Internal or external GPS (Using apps like "Bluetooth GPS Provider"
* Export result to GPX file or share the result using SMS / MMS / Email / Dropbox and more.
* Various coordinate and unit formats
* English, German, French and Danish
* Optional, InApp purcase to remove Ads.

Permissions
* In-app purchases, used to let the user have an option to buy an "No Ads option"
* Storage, use to let the app put map cache on SD card and let the user import GPX files
* Network communication, used for reading Google Maps, OpenStreetMap and Ads from Google.
* Your location, uses to get users GPS position.

If you find bugs or want to suggest new features for the APP, please send the developer a mail on Rocologo@hotmail.com.

OBS: If you want to help translating the APP to a local language please contact the developer on rocologo@hotmail.com. I'm currently looking people who want to help to translate the APP to Dutch, Russian and Norwegian. It takes about 15 minutes to translate the APP to a new language.

Somtimes i cant place my geocache!

When you zoom in really far the circles dissappear. I think this is due to the cache itself going off screen. This is a built in feature to avoid loading circles for unnessasary caches I assume. However it has this negative impact. I would assume allowing 20 to 50 closest caches always load circles would fix this in every scenerio. Also should be an easy if statement for the code without having to have a zoom level variable and more complicated code to decide what to load.

Over all I like it and dislike it . I cant seem to be able to find the cache and it doesnt really show me were it is very well

Problem solved and now works as description says after running prog. you get a GPS reading that has very few or no errors.

I like it and went ad free. Even more functional when you use a secondary app like C:Geo to export existing caches in the area where you plan to place and import them into the app. If this placer was able to give you visibility of other caches around without the import process then it would be a 5 star app. Great work so far though.

Looking for something to help me plan a series of caches so they are all correct distance between each other. This doesn't seem to be it.....or instructions are super unclear

S70%
by S####:

1. Why the option for smaller circles? Curious what caching service has lower distance requirements. 2. Why is the ad free purchase so high now, I remember it being like $1.40 last time I checked. Was about to do it, but for almost $5...nvm

I like the app, but how do you export ALL your caches at once in one gpx? How do you change coordinate formats? Also, it'd be nice to be able to move a cursor around to manually fine tune the exact location.

I've been using this app for awhile now, and it's my main app for placing caches and triangulating the location. It has a simple but functional Interface and doesn't seem to drain my battery. Love it.

Crashes everytime I try to start it up, then I must force close, app never starts. I'll keep it for now and see if anything changes in the near future. Red-headed step-child Motorola Electrify 2.3. Still crashes/never starts up I will uninstall !!!!!!!

Works brilliantly to save coordinates for later after placing a cache.

Had issues with the last version, with a quick response from the developer, problem fixed in the newest version. Thanks for listening!!

I export the caches as gps files from CacheSense to my Dropbox. I import them to Geocache Placer. Then I touch the ! tool and I can see the caches near my intended hide as well as the 578' circle around them. I got great coordinate readings for my cache, too. Thanks for a great app!

Can not directly load gpx files, can only be imported from c:geo and maybe some other apps not listed; however c:geo can only send more then one app if you first save offline and then load it. Or just has a high failure rate if loading only one. Maybe importing gpx files into c:geo and then sending will work way better and send then correctly.

Does its work perfectly, maybe it's a little unpolished but the functionality is there. Very useful feature of the circle distance. I use this app for all my hides

Great for hiding a geo cache

Works perfectly

Need to beable to log in so you can see other caches around so the 161metre circle actually is useful

S70%
by S####:

Its works well and two totally different devices running this app are producing very very similar on map data however, one displays the coordinates but the other does not. Strange bug that renders the app useless on one of my devices but fine on the other.

R70%
by R####:

Can not directly load gpx files, can only be imported from c:geo and maybe some other apps not listed; however c:geo can only send one cache at a time, perhaps it's a problem with c:geo, however it still breaks this app and makes it useless.

Looks nice but with ads reaching out to you exactly when you're out and want to safe as much battery power as possible a no no. Wouldn't mind to pay to get rit of the ads or I'll work for it by offering a translation to Dutch.

Like this app very cool and nice.

Very basic app, does just what it says. We don't place a lot of caches, but this app makes it way easier to do so. We used to use stars on Google maps, right click and get directions, a bunch of nonsense. Now it's open, average a few times, and email/text the results to myself. Fast, simple, awesome!

Easiest way to get coordinates from multiple satellites when placing a cache. Thanks!
