What process do you use to get the spoiler images to your phone? Some of us may be interested in your workflow.

It is pretty straight forward.
I log into Geocache website.
Pick an area I want to explore.
Then download the Geocaches.
I also download the spoiler photos if there are ones.
On my laptop I make folders for each area.
Here are some examples of the folders I make



In each folder I give the photos the names of the Geocaches.
That makes it easier to find the one I need.


Then I copy the folders to my smartphones under the DCIM folder on my smartphone.
We are then set to go out and Geocache.
If I need a photo because I am not finding the cache I open the phone and look at that cache photo.

This way I can plan weeks ahead what we will be exploring.

Thank you for the explanation!

For the sake of completeness. If you use an Android smartphone, cgeo also provides support for spoiler images in the GeocachePhoto folder structure.

This could be an alternative, but I do not want to handle 2 devices.

To be truthful I only use a spoiler photo once every 20 or 30 caches if at all.
Seeing your smartphone is with you most of the time if not all of the time it is easy to just pull it out of your pocket and take a look.

c:geo is a great tool if you work off line you still need to download the info.
Yes you can work online but that is like having 66 and the app at the same time.

If I am going to use c:geo online no need to take my 66 with me.
I prefer to have my 66 with me and grab my smartphone when I need a spoiler photo.
