Hi,
I'm planning an Easter Egg hunt for my Scouts, with the eggs hidden at particular coordinates that they will then find 'geocaching style' using a smartphone navigation app.

The app need only be simple - they have a list of coordinates (presently in decimal lat/long, but conversion to some other format wouldn't be a problem) - they just need something they can enter the coordinate, then get a direction & distance indication. Most of the geocaching apps I've seen seem to rely on published caches, rather than coordinate entry.

Does anyone have any recommendations for any suitable apps on iPhone & Android? Free would be a bonus, but we'd be willing to pay a bit for something that did the job well.

Thanks,
Gavin.

Have you looked at Maverick for android devices.

There is a free version and you can enter lat/long co-ords.

It can use either over the air maps or you can set it to use offline maps that you have installed.

There is a compass function which will give you a bearing and distance to the way point.
