PiGo, the Wherigo Player for iOS devices by Pi-Soft Consulting has been updated. Now it is no longer a guessing game with Groundspeak’s site changes. The app is the official WheriGo player for iOS devices, and supports uploading unlock files to the Wherigo site. The app has even been renamed “WheriGo” on the iTunes store. Those of you who were using the app from the start might remember that was it’s original name until Groundspeak spoke up. Turns out, Groundspeak liked it so much they made it official.

What I know is that playing WheriGo cartridges on my iPhone for the last 8 months has been far more enjoyable than it was on my Garmin Colorado … mainly due to the apps ability to show me a map screen.  

This should bolster Wherigo’s appeal to Geocaching players, and keep the game going in the future – regardless of Garmin’s GPS support.

PiGo, the Wherigo player for iOS has received a minor update tonight that corrects a login issue. The login issue was a problem with cookies that prevented users from downloading Wherigo cartridges from within the app.

When downloading cartridges to PiGo, you should select the “PocketPC” version. Cartridges can be downloaded from within the app, or you can download on your computer and transfer them using iTunes.
