Leaderboard

I like to identify caches which fill missing grids or criteria so that I can optimise going after a single cache which fulfils multiple grids. Currently I use GSAK to do this and I score and rank caches so that the highest scoring ones are the most desirable e.g a cache can score a point for the following 1) cache name starts with an alphanumeric character which I have not found 2) CO name starts with an alphanumeric name I have not found 3) Fizzy - cache fills a DT rating I don’t have In my curent loop 4) Jasmer - cache fills a month in my current Jasmer loop 5) Old Cache - If the cache is placed more than 20 years ago 6) Type - Wherigo, Virtual and Webcam (or whatever im feeling like) 7) Favourite- 100 or more favourite points (or whatever I’m feeling like) 8) Attributes - one point for each positive or negative attribute I have not found 9) Placed Date - for a day of the month I haven’t found in the current loop Of course this has some complexity but a cache can score a number of points (I think 5 is the best I’ve seen) and If I’m pressed for time (most of the time) I’ll target the highest scoring caches and I know that they are either interesting in some way or at least helping me fill grids. I think at least it would be nice to search for Fizzy and Jazmer grid fillers based on current or configured loop A really useful feature in Cachly is that I highlight the caches in an offline list exported from GSAK with a different colour representing their score (which I write as a user note in the GPX) this method works well but is quickly out of date once I’ve found a few caches which might in turn lower the ranking score as I now have that DT rating I need for example The feature I can imagine is essentially similar to the filters you can build up on an offline list but with a weight / score added and then an overall filter to only show caches with X score or greater

FEATURE REQUEST: Add a small semi-transparent compass to top corner of map screen when navigating to a cache or waypoint. We have discussed this before ... see "Looking4Cache" method - preferably, like L4C, the compass would be user selectable: 1. show or hide 2. small or larger 3. adjust level of transparency

For Live searching this isn't possible as the geocaching.com API does not support this. For offline lists, we do have this feature! When adding an attribute filter just tap the attribute again to change it to a "not" filter. Hope this helps.

Ideally, the ability to choose what to back up / sync: all settings offline lists templates filtering templates .... but mainly I'm concerned about the overall backup and synchronization between devices. For example, yesterday I had to uninstall Cachly, I downloaded Offline Lists as a backup, but I forgot about Cachly.sqlite and apart from Offline Lists, I had to set up everything from scratch, even though I have everything on my iPad, which now had a family member with and is about 600 km away from me for about 2-3 weeks, so I re-created all the templates from scratch based on the old logs for the caches that I found in the past. And also the alert settings for approaching a cache.... Actually, both backing up to iCloud and syncing would be best. The fact, as i've red here on forum, that some users don't want synch between devides and so on, it I think is no reason to deprive others of that option. Simply give the choice: Do you want or don't want backup/sync. (as a togle) I don't understand why should we do it again and again manually. I appreciate your work and the app itself is just a dream come true for me as a geocachers. The official app may just be embarrassed because it should look like Cachly, but this really, really bothers me. I'll gladly pay extra for it, even though I bought the app and the premium maps as well.

Thanks for the suggestion, we will look at add this in a future version.

Hi Nick I'm very excited about the prospect of Cachly 8.0 and what it might bring! It sounds like features are set for this update, but even so, I thought I would throw a pretty minor and unimportant feature request out there. A lot of UK multis have a check sum to check the coordinates, so if the newly calculated coordinates were N51 12.918 W000 01.553, the check sum would be 41 (5+1+1+2+9+1+8+1+5+5+3=41) It's a quick and easy calculation, but I don't know how easy it would be to include this feature built in. I've had a think about where it might fit... I always do all my multi workings in the Personal Note, then just click on the resulting coordinates to Set as Corrected Coordinates. Would it be possible to display the Check Sum at or near the top of the list when you click on coordinates stored in this section (above Create Waypoint), either next to, or underneath, the new coordinates. I have included a screenshot of a Personal Note to hopefully explain this better! Anyway, as I say, it's not a biggie, but just thought it would be a nice touch if it's easy enough to code. Thanks, RubyShoos

When viewing a Live or Offline list, a mileage indicator is shown. Is there a way to provide a compass, which indicates both bearing and mileage from current location to the cache location? I have attached the screenshots of Looking4cache. This feature is quite useful. Thanks.
