Supported Devices
Groundspeak’s Geocaching Application is best supported by the iPhone 3G or 3GS, but is also compatible with the iPod Touch and 1st generation iPhones.

Please note: You will need Wi-Fi access for the application to work on the iPod Touch. Also, without GPS, compass navigation will not work on the 1st generation iPhone.

If like me you own an iPhone and enjoying geocaching why now use Apple iPhone and Groundspeak’s Geocaching iPhone Application to help with your treasure hunting adventures.

How It Works

The iPhone 3G and 3GS use a combination of GPS, Wi-Fi positioning and cell towers to determine your approximate location. Groundspeak’s iPhone Application then queries the Geocaching.com database in real-time and provides a list of geocaches near you.

The app is available in English, Dutch, French, German and Japanese language versions.
