Carrot Killer 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2018 The android app Geooh Live has a built in Wherigo player. I think this is a cool feature and I know that no one could do it better than you. What do you think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1 Nic Hubbard 643 Report post Posted April 5, 2018 Right now this isn't something that we are focused on. Maybe in the future, but the high level of testing and development time for a relatively low use feature isn't something I can focus on right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Team DEMP 120 Report post Posted April 5, 2018 I've done a couple of them and though I'm sure a better user experience can be achieved, the amount of Wherigo caches and cachers is a tiny fraction of the other cache types. An effort, which is likely rather significant, would take away the limited resources from helping a much larger audience. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Frank 7 Report post Posted April 5, 2018 I haven't seen one of those get placed in years... they are a thing of the past! Last time I did a wherigo I dragged it into notepad and saw the final coordinates in plain text and saved myself a whole lot of time and effort! 1 Saved by God's grace reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure where you are located, but you can use Project-GC to see activity of new caches. Wherigo caches placed by day in the US is viewable at https://project-gc.com/Statistics/HiddenPerDate?country=United+States&type[]=Wherigo+Cache&submit=Filter . But as I noted in my initial reply, the activity is a tiny percentage of new caches placed or caches that are found. There are many 1000's active in the US. I'm also not aware of dropping a Wherigo cartridge into notepad and the final coords being visible, but I never looked that hard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 rragan 200 Report post Posted April 5, 2018 Wherigos where the author did not obfuscate the cartridge have human-readable text strings and typically the final coordinates. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 Bolling 99 Report post Posted April 22, 2018 I own a Wherigo and seek one occasionally. However, the request list for Cachly has much better options for Nic to spend time on in my opinion. 1 rragan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 bearpanda 1 Report post Posted December 3, 2020 There are many wherigos in my country (Czechia) and people are still creating new ones. With the official Wherigo app missing from the App Store right now I don't have any chance of playing these. I think playing wherigos in Cachly would be much better experience Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know about that. But it would still be nice to be able to have as much functions as possible in one great working and great looking Cachly app, without the need of downloading other apps.

I worked on the new HQ Wherigo app, so hopefully it is a good compromise. Integrating a Wherigo player into Cachly isn't something that is planned. 1 1 bearpanda and ivans reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi, I gave it a try and hoped it will work better then the old one. The user experience is better but the Wherigo GC68GHM still does not work on iPhone. Should a Wherigo cartridge not run independent of the platform/OS it is played on? Best, David Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 ivans 4 Report post Posted May 25, 2021 Regarding unlock code. We played Wherigo cartridge in this excellent iPhone app. Finally we gained an unlock code, but it was not accepted by wherigo.com page. Then we played this cartridge again with Oregon 550 and gained different unlock code (nick name was the same). This code was accepted by wherigo.com page. What we did wrong with app? thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are many frameworks out there that run the Lua code that is inside of the cartridges. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 ivans 4 Report post Posted May 25, 2021 I collected old printscreens and notes related to the wigo https://coord.info/GC5TTH8 and now I'm announcing the end of the alarm! I apologize for wasting your time. I tried to enter the code from the app printscreen into the form at wherigo.com and it passed. I had to make a mistake in the field while copying the unlock code from the application screen. Actually, I don't know how to copy the unlock code from the application to wherigo.com, is the code copyable? Have a nice time Ivan 1 Nic Hubbard reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, you should just be able to tap/long press the text and use the iOS copy option. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
