Geocaching version 6.1 for iOS

Groundspeak's Geocaching app received an update yesterday. Version 6.1 "focused on making finding and logging geocaches easier" according to the release notes.

• The buttons for navigating to geocaches and posting logs—the two most-used actions—are now front and center.
• We added easy-to-understand new icons.
• Revised language helps eliminate confusion between saving and sending logs.
• Log types are now shown in the title bar.

Also included according to those release notes;

• Additional features have been grouped together in their own menu in the top-right corner.
• The new "Found it!" button includes a drop-down menu for other log types.
• And, of course, no release would be complete without a few bug fixes to help smooth the search for your next geocache.

It's a free upgrade for current owners and still $9.99US for new purchases.
