This menu lists the Geocaches currently stored on your mobile device for offline use. For a better geocaching experience, c:geo allows you to organize your stored geocaches into multiple lists.
You can always access the information in these lists, even if you have no network connection. All caches in these lists are stored offline with all relevant information. However some additional information (log images, static maps) is only available offline if you enabled this in the corresponding settings.
Click on the following links to get information about the Geocache Type Icons in c:geo and Geocache marker icons in c:geo, which are used on the cache lists.
The same list view is also used in the result of search functions, for showing a list of caches on the live map and for displaying the content of pocket queries.
In this case - of course - caches on the list might not (yet) be stored in an offline list.
The list will show you the title of each geocache in the first row. Below this there is a subtitle showing its geo code, the D/T rating, the cache size, the premium-only status (if applicable) and whether the cache is stored offline (helpful if you are looking at a search result list).
The color stripe on the very left indicates (in addition to the markers on the cache type icon) whether this cache is found or has an offline log saved.
If the title is strike through the corresponding cache is temporarily disabled, if the cache title is additionally shown in red letters the cache is archived and no longer available.
A short click on one of the list entries will open the details of this cache, a long click will open a context menu with direct access to some cache related functions.
The information shown for each geocache on the right side of the list view is explained in the table below:
Icon | Description |
---|---|
![]() | Distance and direction towards the cache based on your current location (basic members of geocaching.com will only see a limited information here) |
![]() | The number shows the amount of favorite points (geocaching.com) or recommendations (opencaching) of this cache. The background color represents the average GCVote rating of the cache: Green = Good rating (>3,5 stars) Brown = Average rating (between 2,5 and 3,5) Red = Bad rating (<2,5 stars). If there is no color shown the cache does not have any votes yet or is not supported in GCVote (GCVote does currently only support geocaching.com caches). |
![]() | The symbol is a marker which is only shown if the cache contains trackables. The number right next to it is the amount of trackables listed in this cache. |
If the list you opened is created from a search result or a pocket query view there will be a button at then end of the list labeled Load more caches (Currently: XX)
showing how many caches have currently been loaded to the list and clicking on it will load more results / pocket query entries.
At a long click on one of the caches on your list, the following context menu will be opened, providing you access to some direct actions on this cache:
Menu item | Description |
---|---|
Compass | Opens the compass to directly navigate to this cache. |
Navigate | Opens the complete navigation options to select one of the supported navigation methods to this cache. |
Details | Will open the cache details of this cache. (same as short click) |
Log Visit | Will take your directly to the logging page for this cache to compose your log. |
Remove | Delete this cache from your current list. |
Move to different list | Move this cache onto another list. |
Copy to different list | Copy this cache onto another list but keep it also on the current list. |
Refresh | Update the cache details with data from the geocaching server |
The icons shown in the top bar and the contents behind the overflow menu button are distributed dynamically based on your device resolution and screen orientation. Thus it might be possible, that more or less items can be found behind the menu button or instead shown as icons in the top bar on your device.
In case a menu entry is shown as an icon you can long press the icon to get a popup showing its function.
Icon/Section | Function | Description |
---|---|---|
![]() | List Management | This section shows either the name of the current list or the search information in case a list is opened as a search result or the pocket query name in case the list is opened from a pocket query. Furthermore the amount of caches on the current list (limited to the filtered caches if applicable). Clicking on this section will open the list of all cache lists to select another cache list to display. |
![]() | Filter indication | This line will only show up in case a Global Cache Type Filter or a List Filter is active. Clicking on this line will directly take you to the corresponding filter dialog. |
![]() | Map the list | Clicking this icon will show the caches on this list on a map. |
![]() | Filter | Clicking this icon will open a filter dialog to filter the caches on your list according to various criteria. |
![]() | Overflow menu button | Clicking here will open the menu of functions not fitting into the top bar on your device, thus being displayed as a list instead. The function shown in this list are also described in this table. |
![]() | Sorting | You can use this function to sort the list according to your needs. |
![]() | Select mode | Using this function will put the list into a selection mode allowing you to select a subset of caches on the list in order to use the Manage Caches function on this selection. |
Show on map | This is a similar function to the Map List function/icon explained above, but also supports opening all caches from the list on other maps and in external apps. |
|
Manage caches | This option provides functions to delete, refresh, move, etc. the caches on the list. You can combine it with the Selection Mode to apply the change only to a subset of your list. |
|

Import | This option allows importing of caches from several sources onto your cache lists. | |
Export | This option allows export of caches or parts of the cache information in several ways. |
This function allows you to filter the list by various criteria.
Other than the Global Cache Type Filter this filter does only apply to the lists, but can be combined with a global filter if needed.

Menu item | Description |

Finds | Sort by amount of total finds for a cache. |
Geo code | Sort alphabetically by geo code of the cache. |

Rating | Sort by GCVote rating of the cache. |
Size | Sort by size information of the cache. |
Status | Sort by status of the cache. |
Terrain | Sort by difficulty rating of the cache. |
Vote (Own Rating) | Sort by your own GCVote rating of the cache. |
The sorting mode you selected will be kept throughout your current session or until you change it.
After activating the selection mode your list will be shown with check boxes in front of each cache as shown in the picture above. This allows you to mark some caches on your list by tapping on them and afterwards batch perform actions on the selected caches from the Manage Caches menu (e.g. delete all selected caches).
Additionally you can now use the Invert Selection
menu option to invert your current selection, which might be helpful if you want to select all except only some caches on your list.
Once you are done, use the Exit select mode
menu option to leave the selection mode.
You can also quickly invoke the selection mode while on a list, by swiping from left to right on a list item.
This menu option allows you to show the caches on your list (or a subset of them by using the Selection mode) on a map of your choice.
This can either be one of the supported map types in c:geo or a supported third party app like Locus or maps.me.
This menu allows you to manage the caches on your list in different ways as described below. In case you selected some cache using the Selection mode, the menu items will show the amount of caches selected in brackets, else the actions will be performed for all caches on the list.
