Description

GCBuddy is the perfect tool for the serious geocacher when solving multi-caches. With this application you can record all found values for A...Z and use them to automatically calculate new waypoint coordinates. The final cache coordinates are also calculated as soon as all required puzzles have been solved and entered. You can also record the exact spot where you parked your car or bike, so you can find it back after caching.
FIRST LOOK: To get an idea of the functionality, read the Quick Start Guide on the gcbuddy.com website.

Multis just became fun again!

Au_member on

I often wondered why I needed a pen and paper to multis when I had a smart machine in my hands to find the coordinates! GCBuddy came to the rescue. The interface was quite intuitive and improves each release. I'm currently using GCBuddy for a string of multis and puzzles. One puzzle, a word find, left me with a bunch of letters to convert then add up. Sure there's other tools for that, but having GCBuddy load the cache, then manually enter the 16 alphas left in the puzzle into a clue spot, cut-n-pate the final coordinates, and I was done. Excellent job!

Use regularly

I use this app a lot, it makes getting the maths right, at the end of a long day of caching, much easier. It has save me heaps of mucking around. Thanks for making it :)

Pre-Planning works.

Whilst I do subscribe to the thoughts of MZ64, I have found it useful to pre-programe the Multi caches I intend to do before I head out for a days caching. Thus i have good idea as to what is ahead. As a non mathematical person and have trouble sorting out formulas, so what does puzzle me at the moment, and I'm sure there is an answer, is how do you handle a set of numbers created in the middle of a multi. Say a formula gives you a number consisting of two or more characters which then become individual numbers e.g. E = A +B+C = 456 where 4 = X, 5 = Y and 6 = Z.

I think this works well. Have used it a couple of times before Geocaching App allowed Waypoints...

Somtimes lo tech is better

I look at my purchase of this app philosophically. Sometimes we spend our hard earned unwisely and regret it. Perhaps a lottery ticket that doesn't win, maybe going to see a rubbish film or buying a meal that makes you feel queasy. Some apps are like that, they seem a good idea at the time, for whatever reason, but you regret by it and only realise your folly once you have used it This App is one of those. It offers nothing that you can't do with a pen and a piece of paper and your GPSr, which if you are a geocacher you will already have. In fact the data entry with this app is so laborious you will be able to solve your clues and find your coords in fraction of the time manually. So in all I will not be giving up my pencil and paper any time soon and will look back at the purchase of this app with resignation and move on, preferably to coordinates that I worked out my self.

Wat zouden we zonder haar moeten

GCBuddy is onze vaste buddy. Heel fijn om haar er bij te hebben. Thuis voorbereiden we ons voor en dan heb je tijdens het veldwerk veel plezier aan haar.

Nog steeds een super tool

Na 9 jaar even niet aan geocaching te hebben gedaan, is dit nu nog steeds een super tool. Werkt nog steeds prettig. Keep up the good work. 👍

Improvements

The last update made the app better. Easier to use and more logical.

Prima app

Voor het lopen van een multi gebruik ik hem altijd. Wat mij betreft ideaal. Toen hij zondag door een bug niet meer opende en melding had gemaakt van dit probleem werd er accuraat gehandeld. De bug werd snel achterhaald en opgelost. Topper.

Blijf toch een van de beste

Ruud Bol on

Wat een fijne app is dit toch, en dan de ondersteuning. Wel vaker wat aangegeven om te implementeren, en als het kan wirdt het ook vrij snel geïmplementeerd. Nu met ondersteuning voor Magic Earth. Een van de fijnste gratis navigatie app’s met gedetailleerde kaarten. En varieer hint, hoe cool is dat 👍🏻
