What android GPS app would be good to use for Geocaching?

Q. I have just joined the Geocaching website. I have a samsung captivate android 2.2 firmware version. I need to know of applications that have a gps that allows you to type in the coordinates numbers, that allow you to play the game. Any suggestions on an easy use app?
Thanks in Advance.

A. First of all, when you say "the Geocaching website" I'm going to assume you mean Geocaching.com...

The official Geocaching app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.groundspeak.geocaching seems to be the best one out there, but it costs $10.

I use "c:geo - opensource" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cgeo.geocaching and it works reasonably well, but sometimes the caches don't show up in the exact right spot on the map... but when that happens at least it shows you that the location may be off (circles it in orange). And there's also a workaround for the issue, so it's not that big of a deal. Bottom line: this app will be fine if you want to save money, but if you don't mind the $10, the official app is better.

The OpenCaching app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.garmin.android.apps.opencache looks pretty good, but it's only for OpenCaching.com


What is the most accurate gps tracker app on the android market?
Q. I'm looking for a gps tracker app that can do "live" tracking between friends. I also need it to be as accurate as possible. Latitude isn't accurate enough (sometimes its miles off). Any suggestions?

A. Any of them really. Accuracy is totally dependant on how well GPS is received, and no app can receive GPS better than any other.


Is there a GPS-type app that you can set to alert you when your driving speed goes to high?
Q. So for example, if I'm driving on a freeway with 55mph speed limit, I could set the GPS app to "ding" or something if I go over a certain speed, which I could set to something like 64mph. Just wondering. Also, I would prefer an app for the iPhone, but if there isn't one for the iPhone I would still like to know if there is one for Android.

Thanks!

A. What do you think the speedometer is for?


Is there a GPS Android app that works without Internet connection?
Q. I bought a samsung galaxy y 2 months ago and it has gps feature unfortunately I need internet connection to use google maps navigation so I'm wondering if theres any GPS app that doesnt require internet. Thanks!
I forgot to mention that im from Italy :x

A. Yes, you need a pure GPS app. They are not cheap and you can find them on the market. Here is one example from Navigon for US. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.navigon.navigator_checkout_us

Ie shoes, jewellrey? I was thinking gold high heeled sandals. Thanks!
Also what colour/style bag?

A. A cute white peacoat would look cute, with some gold earings and a pop of color like turquoise. The shoes sound good too don't forget to paint your toes ;) and some chunky bracelets will complete the look. Don't wear too big of a necklace because your dress is already a halter top and wraps around the neck. And for your hair, a low messy bun with a braided gold head band like this http://m.pinterest.com/pin/411727590903170113/

A.


Which Android Launcher in your opinion is the best?
Q. I have purchased Nova launcher prime and I download Atom Launcher, I also have Launcher 8 which is a windows phone theme and Vire Launcher which is a beta launcher and shows lots of potential. Which launcher should I use. These are in the play store so look for them if you don't have any of these apps. Thanks. ps. Nova and Atom are my top right now because of Nova's jellybean look on my ics phone and Atom just feels right.

A. GO Launcher, Installed it last year and have not turned it off yet. Many different ways to customize your phone including being able to unlock it by shaking your phone.


Is it advisable to use the touch wiz home launcher on the Galaxy S3?
Q. Is it advisable for me to use the touch wiz home launcher or should I download a third party launcher. What advantages will I get by using the touch wiz default launcher on my Galaxy S3? And what effects will the touch wiz or the third party launcher have on my device?

A. Its not compulsory to use a touchwiz launcher, thats the stock launcher comes as default for S3, if you dont like the interface and how it reacts, just go to Google Play Store and install your desired launchers like LauncherPro, Go Launcher and Holo Launcher and so many.

And about features, Most of the launchers have the same features but change in design and style, once you start to read the description and screenshots of the launchers in the play store, you would get an idea on how to move with android launchers.
