What is Looking4Cache Pro?
Current Momentum
v4.3
This version includes a few general improvements and small new features. Mainly, the search for caches and thus the LiveMap will be as fast as usual again. General: - When searching for caches, the percentage of favorite points in relation to found logs of premium members were always loaded. This is very very slow and has slowed down the Live Map very much. The loading of this percentage must now be explicitly selected if this is wanted. - In iOS 14, the date selection has been changed to the new iOS calendar. - With L4C offline maps with the drawing technique 'Direct' can now be zoomed out wider. With large maps (e.g. complete Germany), however, it may be quite slow at low zoom. - When placing actions on the map, actions for the current target (e.g. write log, create waypoint) are always displayed. New functions: - New filter 'No own caches' for existing cache lists. - Local logs can now be sorted by date in ascending and descending order, as well as by cache name. Bug fixes: - If a new authentication was required at geocaching.com, this was not displayed in all cases.
