About

Menu > More > Geocaching tools

Geocaching tools contain many useful options for some special geocaching cases:

  • Graphic computations - for better solving some of mystery caches
  • 161 m circles around caches - to secure a correct radius from another cache when creating a new one. More about this see here >>
  • Already created field notes check
  • etc.

Tools

  • Load Pocket Queries - see Pocket Queries in Import chapter. This option is available only to Locus Map Pro users
  • Log trackable - enables logging found trackable item directly from the app (internet connection required). This option is available only to Locus Map Pro users. More about trackables >>
  • Draw circle - draws a circle with defined radius and color/opacity around any selected place on the map
  • Line tools - draws a line between two defined coordinates or calculates an intersection point of two lines
  • Middle point - sets location of two points and calculates exact center between them
  • Projection - calculates a new point if its distance and azimuth is known and draws it on the map. This function is available also in Location selector.
  • Load all waypoints - displays all waypoints of visible geocaches on the map
  • Cache radius limit - according to Geocaching.com rules, physical parts of individual geocaches may be placed at least 528ft/161m from each other. This function helps visualize such area. More about this see here >>
