Step 1: Create an account at Geocaching.com if you don't have one

Geocache Navigator provides you with an easy and convenient way to find geocaches using your cellphone. Since all the information about geocaches is stored at Geocaching.com, the first step is to create an account there. If you already have an existing user at geocaching.com, you do not have to create an additional account.

Step 2: Link your phone to your Geocaching.com account

   To get your phone Identifier:
   • Launch the Geocache Navigator application on your phone
   • Select "Settings" from the main menu
   • Select "Show My ID"
4. Fill in the Phone PIN
   The phone PIN is the PIN you choose when you first launched the application. If you forgot your PIN you can change it by doing the following:
   • Launch the Geocache Navigator application on your phone
   • Select "Settings" from the main menu
   • Select "Change PIN"
   • Enter a new PIN
   • Use the new PIN in this form
