Your solution? My point was that Geooh is a very expensive solution to this specific problem. EDIT: Sure, it may have "m any other features that can eliminate the need to buy multiple other apps" and don't get me wrong, I do own the app, I agree with this but if all you want to do is run Wherigos, and all your other Geocaching apps are set up how you like them, why pay for an app?
