Logging travel bugs with the new Groundspeak app
Posted: Tue Mar 07, 2017 5:01 pm
Using the OLD app, one created travel bug logs concurrent with the cache log, individually marking the status of each TB before you sent the entire log in. This was the same paradigm as is used when one creates cache logs on the website.
In Groundspeak's new application for mobile devices, the work-flow is a bit different; here's a quote from a thread on the Groundspeak forums for how to do it:
"Thanks. It looks like you have to log the cache find in the caching 'section' of the app, then go into the trackable section of the app, find the trackable you want to log from your inventory, then locate the cache that you already just found again on the map and log the trackable activity to that cache completely separately from logging the cache find.
On the old app you could log the trackable activity whilst logging the cache find, you didn't have to do it as a separate job. I didn't even think to go into the trackable section of the app, as you didn't have to previously. I was looking for a hidden menu or some way to do it while logging the cache find.
Doesn't really seem like a step forward, but at least it can be done. Thanks."
If one is carrying numerous TBs, this will be a beast to do.
