Follow Me

This is a feature added in Neongeo v1.127 that allows users of Neongeo to see each other's locations on the map and in the User Tab on the Geocaches Page and to send messages to each other within Neongeo.

Settings

Change the settings related to the Follow Me feature on the Settings page.

Your position will continue to be updated at the specified interval if Neongeo is still active in the background.

Neongeo.com Map

All Neongeo users who have enabled the “Follow Me” feature and are currently active can be seen on this map.

Viewing a User's Profile

If you click on a user on the map or User tab of the Geocaches page, you will be shown their Geocaching.com profile page.

Messaging

You can send a message to another Neongeo user who has “Follow Me” enabled by:

  1. Long-pressing their icon in the map and selecting “Send Message” from the pop-up
  2. From their Geocaching.com profile page, click Menu→Send Message

You can then enter a message up to 160 characters long and click Send, or Cancel.

When a message is received from another user, a pop-up window will appear containing the message. You then have the option to click Reply or OK. You must be inside Neongeo to see the pop-up and message; if Neongeo is not running, the message will be held in a queue until Neongeo runs again.

Your message history can be accessed from the Title Page by clicking Menu→Message History. This history can be manually deleted from the Messages Page by clicking Menu→Clear History. The message history is only saved temporarily for each Neongeo session and cleared when Neongeo is closed.

Where are they?

You can find a user's (approximate) location by going to their profile page (see above) and selecting Menu→Target→Center On Map

Navigating to a User

Similar to a geocache or waypoint, you can also set a user as a target or navigate to them with turn-by-turn directions.

You can set a user as a target by:

  1. Long-pressing their icon in the map and selecting “Set Target” from the pop-up
  2. From their Geocaching.com profile page, click Menu→Target→Set As Target

You can navigate to a user by long-pressing their icon in the map and selecting “Navigate To” from the pop-up

Privacy

If you do not wish to participate in Follow Me, simply go to Settings and uncheck the box Activate 'Follow Me'. After two hours, your location will be removed from sight of other users.

At the present time, the web map does not remove your icon, but this will change soon.
