Move to final waypoint

Final waypoints of multicaches or mystery caches usually need solving riddles or calculating formulas etc. In case the cache is imported from some database with calculated waypoints this function may come handy - moves the cache coordinates automatically to the final point.

Keep data during import

Geocaches often contain some personal data - notes, photos etc. This function secures them against overwriting during refreshing import.

Auto load images

Geocaches imported into Locus usually have only a reference to images in listings. Checking this option allows to download the images.

Automatic waypoint loading

Geocaches often contain additional waypoints. This option allows to display them automatically on the map.

Sets your Geocaching.com username to recognize your own caches.

Names of friends
