Just a quick post to say thanks very much for the addition of Live Map. I tested the functionality quite thoroughly over the weekend & it proved to be very useful.

I originally used c:geo for the main Geocaching app and Locus to cache the maps, but rarely your add-on (as c:geo could pass the cache data to Locus), but after the removal of the Beta Maps on geocaching.com & subsequent removal of Live Mapping, I came to rely on Locus & your add-on.

Now that c:geo's Live Map has been re-implemented, but close to useless for actually finding a cache due to inaccuracies, your re-invention of the Live map functionality has proved to be a great asset! Thanks very much for your time & effort in creating this now-invaluable add-on. It combines all the great features of Locus with the Live Map functionality of the old c:geo.

Opened an issue on github here:

https://github.com/cgeo/c-geo-opensource/issues/905

Thanks very much for getting back to me on this - i'll see if I can further this issue through the c:geo developers.

It is rather beside the point, as this is a potential bug enquiry and not a application comparison, but c:geo is an excellent dedicated Geocaching application which is perfectly stable on the devices I have run it on & offers more functionality for caching than Locus (due to the fact it is a dedicated app).

My original issue still stands - i'd be interested to hear whether it is an issue with Locus or an export problem from c:geo.

I am experiencing an issue with the transfer of Geocache information from c:geo to Locus Pro 1.5.2. The problem is that the Hint information does not appear in Locus, meaning you have to flip between c:geo (for the cache hint) and Locus (for the offline map). I am unsure whether the issue is with c:geo not exporting the data correctly or Locus not reading it!

To reproduce:

Load up c:geo opensource (current version 08.11.2011) & go to Live Map
Find & touch on a cache to bring up the Information dialog
Make sure there is a hint (95% of caches have a hint!)
Select More details -> Menu key-> Navigate -> Locus

Locus
Select the cache
Go to the Info screen (second button from the left)
Select Key icon (first button on left)

You will always get the text "No hint" briefly displayed
