Easy GPS is a must have for geocachers, due to the easy switching between coordinates and map. The integrated flashlight enables users like geocachers to find targets even in dark environments without having to use a separate device.

For Geocaching you need an app that POINTS to the waypoint (compass heading) and gives you LOS Line-Of-Site distance to the waypoint “This app does not do this”
It gives me the info I was looking for

I often forget I have this app, but whenever I’m out and have a query (e.g. “how high am I?” or “where am I (in coordinates)”) it has the answers I’m looking for, in text, in an easily readable table. I only really care about the GPS tab, but now that I looked at it again I might grab the OSM pack.
Excellent app

I send a text with the gps to my wife so she knows exactly where to send help if needed.

Found it very helpful in documenting the location of where pictures were taken. Also helped in finding locations that are off the main roads and in remote places.
