Who doesn’t love good Geocaching road trip apps? One of the things we love and why we go Geocaching is that it can turn a road trip into a fun adventure. In fact, we found our first Geocache together during a road trip — and we were hooked ever since. But there are lots of road trip apps out on the market that can also make your road trip that much more enjoyable. So we’ve put together a list here and made it easy for you to download. Happy Travel Caching!
Geocaching Road Trip Apps
As Geocaching technology gets better and better, that means that the Geocaching app is getting better and better. There are some great road trip apps to go along with your Geocaching app. But first things first, you will need to download your Geocaching App and set up your Geocaching Profile.
Geocaching® App
This app is a given for any road trip, and we’re sure that many of you already have it. But if you are new to Geocaching, then you know you need to have this app to enhance your road trips.
Download App: iOS – Android
PodCacher App
If you are on a Geocaching Road Trip, then you must have this app hooked up to your car stereo. Sunny & Sandy from PodCacher has been entertaining cachers from all over the world for over 10 + years — including us! You can listen to any episode from their massive collection of geocaching goodness. Some of our personal favorites would have to be Podcacher Episode 460, 487, and 519 — among so many others!

An obvious choice, but not for the reasons you may think. In addition to its seemingly limitless music selection and “subscribe to playlist” feature for friends, Spotify’s offline streaming function means access to thousands of albums and artists – regardless of your location or data situation.
