Pathetic. Worst app i have seen. Put me on the opposite side of Canada. Expected more from Garmin.

Not enough Love the app. Very easy to use but it only shows a fraction of 1% the cache's out there. Used this app to find my first cache but realized later I rode my bike past 4 (that weren't listed on this app) just to get to it.

No landscape, tablet support May be a great software but un-installed it just after the install. I un-install all app that doesn't support landscape. Also from the website, there's not a lot of cache in Canada, maybe in a couple of years it will improve.
