Pikmin Bloom too

Booooo. That sucks.

I was never into Pokemon before this app but this game was fun just finding new discoveries even in my own city.

Luckily geocaching is still a thing!

Too bad it is $30/year for the app to work.

Geocaching isn't limited to a single app... Go find a geocaching website and punch the coords into whatever mapping app you use.

I thought it was all through groundspeak.

Started officially in 2000, coinciding (but not by coincidence) with a more-accurate GPS network. Long before what would now be considered "smart" devices (Palm Pilot, Handspring Visor, etc) had any sort of GPS abilities. You had to have, or know someone who owned, a handheld GPS device.

Nope! Geocaching was a thing long before phone apps were a thing.

I used to geocache back when i had to get coordinates from geocaching.com and put them into my Garmin handheld gps. But I had gone looking for a cache my dad found on accident while camping and to view it on their website we had to have premium. Same thing with almost all of the caches around my town and surrounding county.

Are there sites other than groundspeak's geocaching.com? I searched DDG last night and everything was an article about geocaching and lead back to geocaching.com or was geocaching.com.

I have considered looking into letterboxing, a friend used to do that while i geocached, but I never did it.
