WhereYouGo features
The Whereigo website Whereigo.com defines a general method tutorial to create a Cartridge for Wherigos.
The first implementations for playing Whereigo were available on Garmin GPS devices. In the last years several applications for different device classes have been developed. One of them is WhereYouGo for Android. In the meantime there are a number of features that have been implemented by these applications.
This page is intended to show the implemented features in WhereYouGo as well as to be a platform to prepare new features.
To be listed here.
-
Function/Background: All time-related ideas are pointless because any cacher can trick them by changing the system time of his mobile phone.
-
Solution: The WhereYouGo player looks for an "environment variable", which is defined in the cartridge and then uses the specified time-source, e.g. env_usetime=gps env_usetime=system

Function/Background: Since v0.9.2. input can be scanned from qr-code. However, new cachers (and there will always be new cachers) are irrateted. They see a button "scan qr", they press the button, a camera window opens ... and the cachers begin to search a qr-code ... (although there is no qr-code to find). Therefore i suggest, to make the "scan qr"-button optional.
Solution: The WhereYouGo-player looks for an "environment variable", which is defined in the cartridge and then displays the scan-button - or not. env_inputQR= yes/no and maybe even env_inputNFC= yes/no
