Latest update [menu]
Version 1.2:
Updated app to support compass in pebble!
Description [menu]
This is an application that connect android navigational applications and Pebble watch!
Please do note that it's designed with Geocaching in mind, but it might also work for other uses. If you have suggestions, please email me! (There is a contact email under Additional information)
It then shows you distance and direction to the location on your Pebble watch! You must also install application to your pebble, then you can use c:geo/geocaching app/locus to select the location you want!
This app uses GPS position and calculates direction from it. It does not use Pebble's compass as it is not yet made accessible by the developers!
PLEASE NOTE: This application only supports Pebble SDK v2. Before writing for support, please update to latest pebble firmware and Pebble Geocaching app.
To install:
- beside this application, also install application on Pebble. Since the Pebble store is now public, please download pebble app from there!

To close the app:
- Simply click notification on top that says "Pebble Geocaching"
