Create waypoint
In the case of many multicaches (geocaches with several stations), you need to determine
the coordinates of the next station yourself through puzzles or hints. To create the next
station on your device, proceed as follows:
Tap on Create waypoint and then on the "plus" symbol to add a waypoint.
There you have the option of creating a waypoint by coordinates, by projection from your
current location or by projection from chosen waypoint.
Projection from a specific point means that a new position, that is to say a waypoint, is
determined by means of a bearing (in degrees) and distance from a specific position.
If you create a waypoint by coordinates, enter the coordinates of the new waypoint in the
same way as you would enter a destination using coordinates (see Chap. 3.7).
With waypoint projection from your current location, your location from which the new
waypoint is determined is used.
Note: Make sure there is good GPS reception here to obtain an accurate result.
Then enter the bearing and the distance and confirm by tapping Next. Positional details and
geocoordinates are output. Enter a name and save the waypoint projection by tapping on
Ok.
If you would like to perform a projection from an existing waypoint (e.g. the multicache station
which you have just reached), select waypoint projection from chosen waypoint and mark
the desired waypoint (if several exist).
Then click on Next and specify the bearing, that is to say the number of degrees, into which
the waypoint should rotate and tap on Next. Specify the distance and if you wish change the
units (km/m). If you then click on Next again, the entered values will be calculated for you
and output in the form of geocoordinates and positional details.
New entry allows you to change the entries, Map allows you to display the calculated
waypoint on the map and with Ok you can confirm the waypoint. Finally, you can specify a
name for the waypoint and then save it. You can delete created waypoints again at any time
via the "rubbish bin" symbol.
Change description
To edit the description for a geocache, select Change description. You can add additional
information and delete or edit information which already exists. To restore the original
description, use the Reset button.
