GeoFinder: Geocaching GPS Maps

Geocache finder with GPS compass, offline maps and a coordinate converter. No account, no sign-up, no login. Find caches near me on the open OpenCaching network.

WHAT IS GEOFINDER?

GeoFinder is a geocaching app and GPS treasure hunting tool for the open OpenCaching network (opencaching.de, .us, .nl, .pl, opencache.uk, opencaching.ro). It is built for cachers who want a fast, private, offline-capable way to find hidden caches: geocaching without account, no sign-up and no subscription.

WHO IT IS FOR

- Geocachers who want a simple OpenCaching app with no account
- Hikers who want a GPS for hiking with offline maps
- Anyone who needs a coordinate converter for outdoor navigation

FIND GEOCACHES

GeoFinder is an OpenCaching map viewer that shows every cache in the visible map area. The bounding-box search updates as you pan and zoom, so results match the screen. Tap a cache to read its description and hints, then navigate there.

- Find hidden caches near me across every OpenCaching network
- Cache descriptions and hints, with auto-translation into your language
- Hide found caches, and see GeoKrety trackables in the area
- One-tap GPS navigation to any cache

COMPASS NAVIGATOR

Built for compass navigation and waypoint navigation: the rotating needle points directly at the selected cache no matter which way you face. Distance and bearing update live as you move, and sun and moon positions show on the ring so you can plan around daylight.

- Rotating compass needle always pointing at the target
- Live distance and bearing display
- Sun and moon positions on the compass ring

COORDINATE TOOLS

The built-in coordinate converter reads every format cachers use. Convert GPS coordinates between decimal degrees (DDD), degrees decimal minutes (DMM), degrees minutes seconds (DMS), UTM, MGRS, Plus Code, Geohash, plus geo: URIs and Google Maps / Apple Maps links; it also detects what3words and looks up addresses. Do DMS to decimal in one step, project a new point by distance and bearing, then navigate to coordinates in one tap.

- Supports DDD, DMM, DMS, UTM, MGRS, Plus Code, Geohash, geo: and Maps URLs
- Offline decoder for cipher clues from mystery caches
- Projection by distance and bearing, address lookup and QR sharing

WAYPOINTS & GPX

GeoFinder is also a GPX file viewer. Save locations as waypoints: parking spots, puzzle solutions, multi-cache stages, or anywhere you want to return. Export waypoints and found caches as standard GPX for other apps or GPS devices, and import GPX, ZIP and GGZ files, including geocaching.com Pocket Query exports.

- Create and manage personal waypoints
- GPX export for dedicated GPS devices and other apps
- Import GPX waypoints and routes, including ZIP and GGZ Pocket Queries

OFFLINE MAPS

GeoFinder works as geocaching offline maps once tiles are cached: the OpenStreetMap (OSM) layer is available without a data connection. The interface is available in 70 languages.

- Offline OpenStreetMap (OSM) tiles for hiking and exploring
- 70 UI languages supported
- Clean, lightweight interface
