GPS navigation tips

The Waddenspelen quests use the smartphone 's GPS. We are happy to give you an explanation and a number of tips so that you can start the treasure hunt fully prepared.

GENERAL

  • To start the scavenger hunt well prepared, you can already log in to the scavenger hunt at home and turn on the GPS on the interactive map
  • The GPS on your smartphone needs time to get a so-called fix. The moment the GPS has a fix, the GPS becomes accurate, you can use it and play the scavenger hunt
  • Allow the browser on your smartphone to use the GPS. If you have not done so, a red line will appear through the GPS icon
  • In cities between (tall) buildings it takes longer before the GPS has a fix, it is best to stand on a square
  • TEST YOURSELF >>> Via gps.speur.app you can test yourself whether your smartphone is suitable for our quests. Open this page, click on the GPS icon and give permission. If a blue dot appears on the map with your position, your smartphone is suitable

IPHONE DEVICES

  • Make sure that your iPhone's browser (the Safari browser) is allowed to use your GPS. You give permission for this when you use the speur.app for the first time
  • In the unlikely event that it does not work, check the following 2 settings
  • Settings > Location Services > Safari Sites

iPhone GPS explanation

  • Settings > Safari > Location > Allow (checked)

ANDROID DEVICES

  • You can best play our quests with the Google Chrome browser
  • Allow your browser to use the GPS when prompted
