What's New in GCA Play
1.8
July 30, 2026
Version 1.8 - Faster, smoother, lighter - plus a few nice touches. • Rebuilt map performance: the app opens quicker and stays responsive, even logging a find on the move with a big pile of caches downloaded. No more sluggish typing or slow reopens. • Your map, your way: it now remembers your chosen style - Standard, Hybrid, or Satellite - so it looks the way you left it every time. • Steadier location handling while you navigate, tidier map controls, and a batch of under-the-hood fixes for a more reliable ride. Happy caching!
