Thread: Great tool for Geocaching for smartphones and tablets (cgeo)

2026.01.02 Bugfix Release (Android 5 and above)


Time to update! If you are still using Android 7 or older, this might be the last c:geo update for you!

With our next feature release of c:geo we will drop support for Android 5-7 to reduce our maintenance load and to be able to update some external components used by c:geo which we are currently still holding back.
We will still be supporting Android 8 up to Android 16 then (and newer versions when they will be published), a span of more than eight years of Android history.
Change: Maximum number of GC trackable visiting per cache log reduced to 100 (as per request from geocaching.com to reduce their server load caused by extreme trackable lovers)
Fix: Some possible security exceptions when user has not granted certain rights (eg.: notifications)
Fix: Cache circles incomplete on low zoom levels (VTM only)
Fix: Crash on reloading waypoints in certain load conditions
Fix: Event date filter not working under certain conditions
Fix: Max log line limit not working reliably in "unlimited" setting
Fix: Crash on opening map under certain conditions
Fix: No map shown if wherigo has no visible zones
Fix: Crash on cache details' image tab under certain conditions
Fix: Map searches with invalid coordinates
Fix: Some translations do not respect c:geo-internal language setting

Spoiler: Beta Testing Program

You can also help us by becoming a beta tester for the release candidate versions of c:geo.

Becoming beta tester is just one click away:

Spoiler: c:geo Google Play Beta Testing

Code:

Please Login or Register to see the links

After you enabled the beta testing mode you will receive beta versions (release candidates of c:geo) via Google Play update on the same way you receive the normal c:geo updates (it might take a few hours after enabling the beta testing mode). Additionally you can send us your feedback and problem reports via a dedicated Google Play feedback form.

Please be aware that beta releases might be unstable or not all functions are working as expected. However before we bring a version into beta testing we do our very best to make sure, that all basic functions are working properly. You will not receive any possibly unstable alpha versions or nightly builds (see next chapter) via this beta channel.

If you wish to discontinue beta testing just use the link above and deselect the beta testing mode. Afterwards you might need to uninstall the beta version from your device and reinstall the normal version from Google Play.

Spoiler: Nightly Builds

You can use our nightly builds to test new features of upcoming versions. They are not for normal usage, as they contain code that is not well tested yet. Only install these versions if you know what you’re doing.

Nightly builds can cause all kinds of crashes and malfunction. Please report such bugs, but don’t expect us to deliver a fix right afterwards. If you need stable functionality, use the normal build.

The version without JIT is necessary for some devices with a MediaTek CPU. If you observe strange behavior in the live map or jumping distances, try to build without JIT.

Please be aware:

Direct downgrading from a nightly version to a production (or beta) version is not possible due to Android versioning restrictions. You need to manually de-install the nightly and afterwards install the production (or beta) version.

Furthermore, also a data backup you made in a nightly version might not be compatible to be restored into the production (or beta) version as the underlying database might have been changed in the meantime.

Please consider this, when using our nightly builds.
