The iPhone app Geosphere, which is far superior to Groundspeak's iPhone application, has direct integration with Dropbox. It allows you to import a GPX file directly from Dropbox, so by using it, you'd avoid the work-arounds listed previous;y in this thread. here's a link to it:

Learning curve is a little steep, but well worth your time if your iPhone or iPad is your primary geocaching device.

This is our first CAM. What fun!!

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who is involved in organizing CAM, and who have clearly put so much effort into this event.

At first we weren't sure if we'd be able to complete all 10 caches, but we plan to finish our last 4 finds before the picnic :)

Any word on when the CAM pathtags will be available?

MDrver …. Have you tried the Geosphere app? I have it on my iPhone and am 99% sure it is also available for the iPad …. No other electronics needed! (No more borrowing the laptop from the neighbors.) :wink:

I purchased the app ages ago and use it sporadically. I like it; I know people who use it regularly and they love it. I've heard it compared to GSAK. (I only have Apple stuff at home so am unable to use GSAK.) I don't remember the cost; it might have been close to $10.00, but I think if that is all you have, it is well worth it. It also have some the BEST tutorial videos built-in to the app …. There is a learning curve (why I use it sporadically), but the videos really help!

Don't give up on your CAM dream …. You can do it! If I can help, please PM me. I'll have one of my signature pathtags waiting for you at the CAM picnic. :-D
Just do it!

Joe, did you see the FB post Thursday, March 26, evening? Pathtags were made available and sold out within 12 hours …. I hope you got some! I missed out and am hoping to trade with eissak; she might have one if you didn't get yours ordered.
Just do it!

I will certainly have extra CAM tags at the picnic available for trade.

OK, I'm the bad guy. I've been checking the Coins and Pins web site more or less every day after dinner hoping to see the MGS Spring pathtags show back up. I spotted the CAM 15 pathtags and took a wild guess (got it right the first time!) at the password and placed my order pretty early. So next year, you can all beat me up when the password is something like
"CAM2016(#$&9182374(#(&$&alljoe'sfault()U(#*$&."

But I got my order in!
