GeoWoodstock Offline Cachly Maps

Countdown clock is on and only a week until GeoWoodstock 2018! 

TaGeez and I spent that last two car rides to work listening to Geogearheads Attending Megas & Gigas and GeoWoodstock 2018 podcasts. Located at historic Coney Island in Cincinnati, we're heading to the amusement park with WikidKriket and Snakeylicks and looking forward to geocoins, virtual reality & gadget Lab caches, and, of course, the coveted GIGA icon!


Right now we're in the planning stages. Bought snacks and sunblock last night. Bookmarked lists of must-do's for the ride down. Checking out new reward Virtuals since our last visit. And preparing our pocket queries. Luckily we've been to Cincinnati several times recently so we've found many of the Favorited caches but experience tells us there are pockets of areas where we won't have mobile data (TaGeez has Spring, and I have AT&T).

Lucky for this iPhone user, Cachly has made available offline maps specifically for the surrounding environs of GeoWoodstock!

You can see where I have already saved these maps (gold star)

Cachly did it right - super easy!
  1. In the Maps tab, click the Map Types icon 
  2. Click Download Offline Maps
  3. Click North America
  4. Click United States
  5. Available maps will appear. Scroll down and click on Geowoodstock 2018 to install.
When you need to access these maps, click the Map Types icon again and select your saved maps under the Offline Maps section. Although only 87 MB, once you are done with these maps, you can slide your finger over the offline map entry to delete it.


Michigan maps are downloaded for our trek to the Thumb this weekend, and, HEY! Canada maps, too! Very cool as we live less than 10 miles from Ontario!
