Nice app. I don't do geocacheing but I use Locus Map a lot for point navigation and it works great. Also works with maverick or any app that can export coordinates in decimal degree format (even text editor). New update brings pebble compass integration so no need to move to know direction. 5 stars as promised

Ok I'll admit I'm having a nightmare with this app can someone please tell me how to get the app to install to my pebble before it just gets deleted. Once I've done that I'm sure the stars will increase

I might be a bit biased but I use this App for geocaching all the time. I find that it helps to save my battery life as I don't have the phone out and screen on all the time.

Works great with both c:geo and the official Geocaching apps. I do wish that I could change the units from metric to imperial, but that's not enough to knock off a star.

I must be the only one with problems as there is nothing but positive reviews, first of all the GPS takes forever to connect, and when it finally connects it doesn't even give me the proper directions froze at 341 meters and the arrow keeps telling me forward no matter which way I walk. Also this app would benefit from including cache hints and recent logs.... Overall unimpressed. ..

Couldn't be simpler. Install this app on your phone, another on the Pebble watch and send directions to a cache by selecting 'radar' in the official geocaching app. Works seamlessly. Thank you so much

...is called "Geocaching app". It would be helpful if that were specified more clearly so I didn't have to waste so much time searching for it.

This is pretty much exactly what I was looking for. I have noticed however that when you first set it to navigate, it says 'no GPS'. The phone had good GPS all day, it said this between caches all the time however. I suspect it says that until you move far enough for it to update. Perhaps a better message would be 'awaiting movement' or something similar. Other than that. This is ideal. Really easy to use. Clear and easy to read. Attached the pebble to bike handlebars and spent the morning caching. Thanks.

Not only can you read the Pebble screen in bright sunlight, it saves your phone's battery as the screen is not running at 100% brightness. Really functional!
