About GoldHunt Free (Geocaching)
You need:
- a Twitter account (optionally, see below)
- a Geocaching account (premium, see below)
GoldHunt helps you to find new caches in your area and allows you to get on the road for gold, silver and bronze. Not only useful for the hunters of prices, but also for the active geocacher, this application will show all newly published caches from Twitter (Dutch*), your mail notifications and/or directly from the website.
This application works with Geocaching.com to search new caches (Premium only!) and load cache information. Authentication is safe (OAuth), so no password information is known by this application.
Basic members of this site can see distance, location and details of a cache, but can only load full details of three caches a day (description, waypoints, images). Also, information about premium caches is very limited.
Via notifications you'll be alerted about new caches (Premium only and for the free version only on events). The interval for checking is configurable, although short intervals have drainage consequences.
The application offers creation of profiles with which the cache list can be filtered on distance from a certain location, type, difficulty, etc. There is an active profile for the list view as well as an active profile for alerting.
* Note! For Basic members this application can only rely on messages on Twitter in Dutch, based on reviewers in Belgium and the Netherlands. As soon as these tweets cease to exist, the application cannot function anymore. Currently some reviewers already stopped publishing to Twitter.
Any information on public publications of caches is appreciated.
