Hey Adam,

I’ve added a preference pane in Geofinder 1.4 that will allow you to open the results in a new browser window.

I had to switch to embedding Safari because of some onerous Apple restriction.

Expect to see 1.4 in a few days.

Thanks!

Drew

Drew, I’ve found that tapping the “Google Maps” link in *embedded* Safari windows do not open the iPhone’s Maps app, which makes it impossible for me to easily show the geocache location. Could you please add the option or a button to open the search results page in a normal Safari window?

GeoFinder 1.3 (in review) has a more robust location system. After about 20 seconds, it will go ahead and use the best location information it has, no matter how accurate. Thanks for the tip!

Hey there, Matt. I think I’ve finally tracked down this issue. It was a nasty one.

I’ve pushed an update to the app store, (in review, who knows how long Apple takes…) Let me know how it works out for you, and feel free to leave a review in the App Store!

I would like to try your GeoFinder application. I have a ipod touch.

Thanks,

This would be a very nice app, but I have a great problem to use it as designed. I’m using an iPhone 3G, but when I start the app, my current location could not be determined and old coordinates will be used. The only way to get it work, is to start the map applcation before and then start Geofinder.

Maybe this could be fixed in a future release, than this would be a very great and useful app.

Thanks Christian.

outstanding in it’s simplicity! Just plain does a good job doing what it does! Tap to open, tap the geocache you want, scroll down in safari to the google maps link and presto you have a red and blue dot, walk till the blue dot meets the red one and presto. I have been geocaching for almost 10 years and live less than 5 min from the first cache ever.

This app makes impromptu geocacheing a delight.
