Description
GCA Play is a native Android companion for Geocaching Australia. Built for the GCA community, it brings every GCA listed cache to your phone — to find, navigate to, and log right where you are.
Discover caches on a live map Browse GCA's full catalogue on an interactive MapLibre map with Road, Satellite, and Topo styles. Tap any pin to see full details — type, difficulty, terrain, size, hidden date, recent logs, and the cache description and hint when you're ready to read it.
Navigate with a real compass Live bearing, real-time distance, GPS-accuracy indicator, and a satisfying haptic when you close in on the cache. When you'd rather drive part of the way, tap "Open in Maps" for turn-by-turn directions to the trailhead.
Log finds the moment they happen Submit Found It, Didn't Find It, and Note logs straight from the app. Attach photos, leave a rating, enter coordinates for moveables — your log appears on the cache page immediately.
Solve and unlock Q&A style caches, pull-to-refresh on log lists, and saved Waypoints for multi-stage caches.
Find exactly what you're looking for Filter by cache type, container size, difficulty, terrain, and found/owned status.
Run saved My Queries or Public Queries from your GCA account. Search by name, by GA code, or by what's nearby.
Designed for the way Australian cachers actually cache • Corrected coordinates honoured for solved puzzles • Optional pin clustering for dense areas • Optional on-screen zoom buttons for one-handed / gloved use
Free, no ads, no tracking GCA Play is a free community-built app. We use Firebase Crashlytics so we can fix what breaks; we don't collect anything else.
