Description

This is an application that connect android navigational applications and Pebble watch!


Please do note that it's designed with Geocaching in mind, but it might also work for other uses. If you have suggestions, please email me! (There is a contact email under Additional information)


It then shows you distance and direction to the location on your Pebble watch! You must also install application to your pebble, then you can use c:geo/geocaching app/locus to select the location you want!

This app uses GPS position and calculates direction from it. It does not use Pebble's compass as it is not yet made accessible by the developers!
PLEASE NOTE: This application only supports Pebble SDK v2. Before writing for support, please update to latest pebble firmware and Pebble Geocaching app.


To install:
- beside this application, also install application on Pebble. Since the Pebble store is now public, please download pebble app from there!


To use:
- See videos provided for help with all three apps: http://goo.gl/3IDPZg


To close the app:
- Simply click notification on top that says "Pebble Geocaching"

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

2 ★Ok I'll admit I'm having a nightmare with this app can someone please tell me how to get the app to install to my pebble before it just gets deleted. Once I've done that I'm sure the stars will increase
5 ★I might be a bit biased but I use this App for geocaching all the time. I find that it helps to save my battery life as I don't have the phone out and screen on all the time.
5 ★Works great with both c:geo and the official Geocaching apps. I do wish that I could change the units from metric to imperial, but that's not enough to knock off a star.
5 ★Just works!
5 ★A must have for people that geocache... and have a pebble :)
5 ★Love it
5 ★Sometimes the pebble fails to update the arrow correctly and the distance to the object but I'm sure that's not a fault of the pebble but of my phone I'd imagine that there is no proper GPS updating on the phone after a little while. Thank you for this awesome app and have a nice day
5 ★Couldn't be simpler. Install this app on your phone, another on the Pebble watch and send directions to a cache by selecting 'radar' in the official geocaching app. Works seamlessly. Thank you so much
5 ★This is pretty much exactly what I was looking for. I have noticed however that when you first set it to navigate, it says 'no GPS'. The phone had good GPS all day, it said this between caches all the time however. I suspect it says that until you move far enough for it to update. Perhaps a better message would be 'awaiting movement' or something similar. Other than that. This is ideal. Really easy to use. Clear and easy to read. Attached the pebble to bike handlebars and spent the morning caching. Thanks.
3 ★...is called "Geocaching app". It would be helpful if that were specified more clearly so I didn't have to waste so much time searching for it.
1 ★I must be the only one with problems as there is nothing but positive reviews, first of all the GPS takes forever to connect, and when it finally connects it doesn't even give me the proper directions froze at 341 meters and the arrow keeps telling me forward no matter which way I walk. Also this app would benefit from including cache hints and recent logs.... Overall unimpressed. ..
5 ★Not only can you read the Pebble screen in bright sunlight, it saves your phone's battery as the screen is not running at 100% brightness. Really functional!
