Geocaching
Locus keeps in mind users which manage thousands of caches. Icons of points will become smaller, when you zoom-out. You get better overview because you can see position of points and also the map in the background. Listing tab in geocaching screen has improved HTML viewer and for this reason it’s possible to swipe between tabs in this screen.
