Whether you’re about to find your first geocache or your ten-thousandth, you’ve come to the right place to learn more about the game.
Hiding a geocache just got easier!
With the new coordinate collector in the Geocaching® app (version 10.2.0+ on iOS and version 10.3.0+ on Android), you can collect and name coordinates right in the app. The feature is available now on iOS and will roll out on Android shortly. If you’re on Android and don’t see it yet, it will appear once version 10.3.0 is available to you.
Your saved coordinates automatically sync to your cache owner dashboard on Geocaching.com.
If you looked at the souvenirs page in the Geocaching app and website recently, you may have noticed something new: Treasures milestone souvenirs!
Geocachers can now earn souvenirs for reaching certain milestones for collecting Treasures and completing Treasures collections. In addition to the new souvenirs, we also released a new Treasures collection, Seashells, to help you on your way to achieving these milestones.
Premium members can now access all available Treasure collections, instead of being limited to three active collections. This makes it easier to collect the Treasure you want without switching between collections.
This update introduces two improvements that players specifically requested:
1. Premium members can set up to five priority collections to collect Treasure from first.
2. Premium members can now view which collections a cache qualifies for on cache pages on Geocaching.com.
