Import Virtual GPS list from Project-GC
Implement a way to import Virtual GPS lists directly from Project-GC. This would be very similar to importing Bookmark lists from Geocaching.com.
Three things required:
1) Under settings somewhere, a field to add a Project-GC access token.
2) Using an API method to retrieve all Virtual GPS lists (id, name) the user has.
3) Be able to fetch all cacheIds or Gccodes from a specific Virtual GPS id.
I haven't tested the "Import bookmark list", but I assume it fetches the cache data itself after it has the list of geocaches. It would have to be the same way here since Project-GC ain't allowed to send the cache details to another partner.

Improved Share corrected coordinates/waypoint
Today one can share Waypoints or corrected coordinates as a chat message which can be sent via Instant message or Email for example. I love this and use it quite a lot. My girlfriend go on quite a few geocaching trips and sometimes we head for some mystery or similar that only one of us have solved. We can then send the Final coordinate via Whatsapp to each other.
What would make it smoother was if there was a manifest link that was clickable which GCDroid understood. I don't know how it works exactly technically, but I am thinking exactly like http://coord.info/GCXXXX will trigger GCDroid, and it understands the link. My thought is having a clickable link like gcdroid://cachewaypoint/GCXXXX/55.31234,13.4433 for example.
I hope it makes sense what I am after.

Map icon in cache description/logbook
This is something that many would call a bug. I call it a design error.
When reading the cache description for a geocache with a fairly long
description, it's not fully readable. At least not if the last lines has full width. The “map”-icon is placed on
top of the description.
This can be solved in many ways I guess. Two of the suggestions I have:
1) Append some new lines after the description so that one can scroll further down.
2) Make it so that one can drag the description further and that it bounces back to lowest point when releasing the finger. This feels like something that is typical Android behavior.
The logbook has the same issue actually.

I know what you mean. there is a similar post already. there the idea is to use transparency.
My current thought is (unless I remove the button all together) to fade it to 20% transparency when no screen touch happens for X seconds, on screen touch it shows again and after X seconds of idle it will fade.
If X is let's say 3-5s then you can start reading and it will be faded out (but still visible and usable) by the time you get there.
what is your thought to that idea?

GPS Averaging
There are at least two applications on Google Play for GPS Averaging. I use one called “GPS Averaging. The other one is called “Geocache placer” or something similar.
It would be a nice bonus to have such feature built into GCDroid in
the main menu, just as you have the flashlight. One could then chose
to save it as an independent waypoint (https://gcdroid.userecho.com/communities/1/topics/35-create-independent-waypoints).
This could also be used as an improved alternative to the GPS button when creating new, or editing, waypoints.

Zu Liste hinzufügen in der Livekarte
Es wäre zu Planungszwecken super, wenn man Caches direkt aus der Livekarte auf eine Lesezeichenliste setzten könnte, quasi unter dem Button "gehe zu" oder "Navi". So kann man sich schnell eine kleine Tour zusammenklicken.

Ist GCDroid tot?
In diesem Forum gibt es kaum noch Antworten vom GCDroid Support.
Eine E-Mail von mir an den GCDroid Support ist seit 5 Monaten unbeantwortet.
Die Seite gcdroid.com lässt sich nicht mehr aufrufen.
Ist GCDroid tot?

Nein, war nut eine Auszeit....
GCDroid / WheriDroid wird hier bald live sein mit updates: GCDroid - Geocaching - Apps on Google Play

Temporary template log
Whenever I log in the field, I usually have a short snippet on what we are doing/planning that day. It could be something like "On a short Sunday bicycle trip with X in our home town." Then I write another 1-2 sentences about the find itself.
I usually solve this by writing my copy-snippet, and copying that into the phones c/p memory. Then I paste that for each new find, and write the rest. I know a lot of people caching like this, especially on smaller trips where they/we log online. Bigger trips I am only doing drafts.
Anyway. What I propose is a way to store a temporary text/template, from the log cache-view. One that's simple to retrieve from there, just as simple as holding and pressing paste. Potentially it could even allowed for 3-5 slots of temporary logs.
Why? Doesn't pasting works? Yes it does, until I need to copy something else. It might not be geocaching related, but it might also be a coordinate that I want to run in a checker or whatever. Yesterday we logged 9 caches, and twice I had to rewrite my copy-snippet from scratch. :/
What I propose in more detail is a new button in the Log cache-form. I don't have a good name for it though, Memory maybe? Like calculators as MS, MR, M+. By clicking on it you get a two column pull down. Left has numbers 1-5 and is a restore of the saved logs. Right side is a save, one per save spot.
Sure. The templates can be used for this as well. But personally I feel it's more cumbersome, and I have to clean up old template logs that I don't use. This is more for really temporary use.
PS! I never use the template logs.

Copy Text on Overview/Details page
It would be great to copy any text in the details page, like you can on the Source/HTML views.
One reason being copying earthcache questions to then past into Notes, and answer them there, ready for posting later.
Another reason, is copying formulae or Co-ords to once again edit in notes.
