Play Wherigo™ cartridges on your iPhone!

Wherigo™ cartridges are GPS-enabled adventures in the real world. Use GPS technology to guide you to physical locations and interact with virtual objects and characters.

Download cartridges for free from the official Wherigo™ web site right from the app and play at your leisure. Note that cartridges are retained for as long as you need them and do not expire. Time estimates given on the web site and in the cartridge description are for expected playing time.

Notes:

1) With newer devices, you can download cartridges with your computer and drag and drop to the Wherigo app folder in iTunes.

2) You can also drag and drop .gws files to upload with your browser if you have trouble uploading from the app.

3) Be sure to select "PocketPC" as the device when downloading cartridges for best results, although any device should work.

Geosearcher is a simple, free app which allows you to enter some coordinates to a location and get the distance and direction to the location. If you are using an iPhone 3GS or iPhone 4, it will also give you your current heading so that you can follow the line more easily.

For instance, are you looking for a geocache? Store the coordinates in the list of saved coordinates and load it up when you get to where you're headed. Then, follow the heading and distance straight to the destination!

This app will always be free, so please feel free to use it however you like!

Geocaching is a global game of hide-and-seek. Geocaches are usually small waterproof containers holding a logbook and sometimes items for swapping. A simple web search for 'Geocaching' will result in various websites which enable you to search for caches nearby. You may need to solve some clues, but you'll almost always end up with a set of GPS coordinates identifying the location of the cache.

Enter the GPS coordinates into Geo Compass using any of the 3 most popular formats, and let Geo Compass point your way. Accuracy will always be subject to conditions and device capabilities, but using an iPhone outdoors with GPS enabled, you'll usually be able to pinpoint a spot to within about 15 feet.

Features:

- Display distances in miles or kilometers
- Switch between coordinate formats in Settings or within app
- Enter and display coordinates in 3 different formats: DDD°MM'SS.S", DDD°MM.MMM' or DDD.DDDDD°
- Dials for entering coordinates - no switching between different keyboards
- Use the Back and Forward buttons on the main screen to switch destinations
- Name or rename your destinations
- Edit or duplicate an existing destination
- Create a destination at your current location (handy for finding your car again!)
- Rearrange and remove destinations

FAQ:

- How do I switch between km and miles?

Settings for Geocompass are provided in the Settings App. To reach this, press the hardware Home button to return to the Home Screen, and then launch Settings. Scroll down to Geo Compass and choose Coordinates Format and Units. Double-click the Home button to switch back to Geo Compass.

- How accurate is Geo Compass?

Geo Compass uses the same sensors and software libraries as other location/direction aware apps, including the iPhone's pre-installed Compass app. The iPhone (3GSS and later) and the iPad have a built-in digital compass which works like a magnetic-needle compass. The accuracy of digital compass headings can be affected by magnetic or other environmental interference. The compass may need to be calibrated from time to time.

Geohashing is a "spontaneous adventure generator" created by the XKCD webcomic. Think geocaching with a twist. New geohashes are created each day within your proximity with endless adventure possibilities!

Geohash+ makes it easy to find and navigate to your local geohash. You can also locate and visit past geohashes for your area.

We love geohashing and wanted an app that was intuitive and "just worked" so this is what we made for ourselves. Enjoy hashing and remember, please hash responsibly!
