Description
It supports playing Wherigo cartridges, which is an interactive location based geocaching game. You can load, play and save the current state of your Wherigo game.

Cartridges for usage with WhereYouGo can be downloaded from https://www.wherigo.com and other services.
Main features: - Automatic download of cartridges from wherigo.com (can be triggered from your browser by opening a listing page on wherigo.com or from other geocaching apps like c:geo) - Use compass to navigate to the next game zone or location - View game zones and locations on a map - Uses online maps from various sources - Supports offline map files (only Mapsforge v0.3 format at this moment) - Seamless interworking with Locus to display maps (alternatively to internal maps) - Several save game slots per cartridge - Automatic game saving when switching to another app - Integrated QR-code reader
About: WhereYouGo is OpenSource and licensed under GNU General Public License v3.0.
After the source code was unmaintained for several years, a new development team (the c:geo team) was - with agreement of the orignal author - finally able to take over the source code and continue app development. If you are able and willing to help us, you can find information and source code in the link below. We need your help: https://github.com/cgeo/WhereYouGo The core of the application is based on OpenWIG, it uses the Mapsforge library to display maps, alternatively Locus can be used.
Notes: - When manually downloading cartridges from wherigo.com, make sure to use the version "Pocket PC Device". - Copy the cartridges into your Wherigo folder (Settings - Main - Wherigo folder). Make sure you granted the application permission to write to external storage and you have write permission in selected directory. Some newer devices don't allow writing to SD card. If you're not sure, set "Wherigo folder" automatically. - If you have problems installing or using WhereYouGo please contact us at whereyougo@cgeo.org - If you would like to know why WhereYouGo needs the permissions requested, please check https://github.com/cgeo/WhereYouGo/blob/master/PRIVACY.md for an explanation.

I first installed the app, downloaded the gwc file, tried to open it, but it kept telling me it couldn't find any .gwc files, even after changing the search location to the downloads' folder. After about 45 min I finally found a workaround by connecting my phone with a USB cable to my laptop and moving the .gwc file to Android/data/menion.android.whereyougo/files/ and that worked! Not sure why the app is having trouble finding the .gwc files. Maybe it has something to do with android permissions?

This was once my favorite but it stopped working. I finally found the help I needed on the Whereyougo website. The cartridge opened. I tried other players, but this does require me to enter full caching apps that I don't otherwise use. I'm excited. I only wish there were more whereto cartridges.
★★☆☆☆
Does not work for Android. The phone does not recognize the file. When trying to open the cartridge, it says there are no cartridges downloaded when there are and when trying to open the download, it says that I don't have any application to open the cartridge with even though I have the App installed. Useless.
★★☆☆☆
UPDATE : July 2022 Have to change my rating. I know how this app works. But for some reason it no longer recognizes GWC files. It does take some configuration, but once you change up the folder where you store the whereigo files, this app runs smooth! It really depends on what android device you have, but I recommend making the folder where you access your whereigo files your download folder, so they're right there
