Read full descriptionHide full description
For 61°23° Tampere blog readers: your local community blog, upcoming souvenirs, a Wherigo cartridge player, and a full mystery cache toolkit in one app. Stay current with everything happening in the 61°23° Tampere blog. Read the latest articles from 6123tampere.com, see which souvenirs are coming up, play Wherigo cartridges, and solve mystery caches faster with a dedicated set of tools all without leaving the app. BLOG Read posts from 6123tampere.com with full text search. Tap any image to open it fullscreen with pinch-to-zoom and pan. Photo galleries render as a thumbnail grid that opens a swipeable viewer with captions, and embedded YouTube videos play right in the article. Links between posts open in the app instead of the browser. Adjust text size with the built-in A−/A+ control (five steps from 0.9× to 1.5×) for comfortable reading in any lighting. Get a push notification the moment a new post is published. SOUVENIRS See upcoming geocaching souvenirs pulled live from the 61°23° Tampere calendar. Multi-day events stay visible until they end. Add any event to your personal calendar with one tap, hide souvenirs you've already earned, and filter between All / Visible / Hidden views. CARTRIDGES Play Wherigo cartridges without a second app. Import a .gwc file and it lands in your library with its artwork and status. Play it on a map that shows your position and the zones around you: an active zone's border thickens as you approach, out-of-range zones are dashed, and every zone the cartridge has opened stays on the map marked as visited. Tap a location in the list to get a live distance and bearing to it. Save mid-game and continue later, and the app asks before you leave a session with unsaved progress. MYSTERY CACHE TOOLS Everything you need to crack the mystery caches in your queue: • Coordinate converter — DD, DMS, and DMM with cardinal direction support • Distance & bearing calculator across all coordinate formats • Waypoint projection from a start point, bearing, and distance • Multi-Cache solver — coordinate formulas with letter variables and math, with built-in validation • ROT13 / Caesar cipher • Morse code decoder — type by hand, listen via the microphone, or decode from a local or remote audio file (WAV, MP3, M4A, AAC, FLAC) • Gade cipher for substitution puzzles • Word Value calculator (A=1, B=2…) with full Finnish character support • Reverse Wherigo solver for Waldmeister (3 codes with checksum) and day1976 (2 codes), including letter variables • Antipodes — find the point on the opposite side of the Earth • GPS Average — average multiple GPS samples over a configurable duration with accuracy weighting and outlier removal for more accurate cache hides Results display in DD, DMS, and DMM formats with one-tap "Open in Maps" for navigation. Built for the geocaching community, by a community member.
