  1. Thanks
    Bolling reacted to Nic Hubbard in Don't understand how the pointer works   
    No, as the pointer is specifically a heading indicator, which GPS course cannot do. Think about if you are standing close to a geocache, rotating your body looking for the cache, the compass will provide correction direction for the pointer in relation the tip of your phone, so when looking at the map you know exactly which way you are facing. GPS course cannot do this unless the user walks for a distance.

    I think this is fixed in V5.2.

    UserID might also have fixed the issue with special characters in the username. I imagine it's not an easy programming switch from username to UserID internally but it may be worth it in the long run even if it has to wait until a future version. I suspect only a small subset of users is impacted, but it sounds like for those that are there can be numerous problems.

    In 5.0 I am making it very obvious that filtering is turned on:

    You will also be able to tap the label to access the filtering options.

    Bolling reacted to Nic Hubbard in Power Trail Caching   
    Instead of cluttering up the map callout, I think this would be an excellent use for our 3D/force touch feature. So you would be able to hard press on the map callout to show these additional options. Would that help?

    You have my vote on this. There's already a good backlog of enhancements that support Geocaching which is the primary function most of us want.

    I personally like seeing the waypoints even if I pick one. Even after using Cachly for a couple of years I'm not sure I knew that you could choose one from the map.

    Bolling reacted to MrGigabyte in Sticky Log Date   
    Back on topic...  I have several astronomy apps that allow you to set date and time. They have the scroll wheels as Cachly does, but they also have a [TODAY] button on the same screen. When the date set is the current date, the button is dimmed and inactive. If you change the date, the button becomes active.   This would seem to do the trick in this cace as well.

    Bolling reacted to Team DEMP in Google indexing of the wiki   
    Google has done a nice job of indexing the wiki content for anyone that searches without coming to the wiki first. My testing shows Google returning forum hits first (all grouped in the top search result) and then the most relevant Wiki pages. If people search for answers to their questions (a big IF), the effort put into the Wiki should definitely pay off. Nice job all!

    I own a Wherigo and seek one occasionally. However, the request list for Cachly has much better options for Nic to spend time on in my opinion.

    Also added this to area around log in as it is a perpetual source of confusion.
    "Note: To be clear, you never have an account with Cachly. Instead, you have an account with geocaching.com and you permit Cachly to sign in for you and act on your behalf with them. What you can and cannot do in Cachly is determined by your geocaching.com account (Basic vs. Premium membership)."

    Nic, 
    The help section isn't as good as a manual but perhaps the app should point first time users to it.

    Bolling reacted to Frank in Breadcrumb / track log display   
    I'd love to have the ability to have breadcrumbs (track-log) displayed on the map while using it.  I left my Garmin in the car over the weekend and found myself a bit lost without the breadcrumb line on my garmin to show me  how how get back to the car.  It would be really awesome if this was a feature that could be turned on/off in Cachly :-)

    Bolling reacted to Nic Hubbard in Cachly 4 crashes updating list   
    This is painfully slow.
    I am rewriting the entire interface and background downloading for updating caches. This will be in the next beta.
    I tested updating 1,000 full caches and got the following:
    Basic Update: 3.8 seconds
    Full Update: 39.8 seconds
    It has been a while since I revisited the old code that is currently downloading/updating caches so it was time for a rewrite.

    Ah. So, there was no trackables data to show, but there was a trackable count available. While this all seems logical in programming it I totally agree that it is not an easy thing to realize.
    A UI tweak is what is needed...

    Bolling reacted to rragan in Coords of Mystery-Finals on Map   
    Once you have the final coordinates, add them as a waypoint and tap the Is Corrected Coordinate button. Save the waypoint. There will now be a red triangle on top of the cache icon so you can spot it. However, in Live view, the Geocaching.com API only returns caches based on published coordinates. You will still see the red triangle but only if the published Coords land in your search area. The displayed position will reflect the solved location. Offline lists always show the final Coords. I keep an offline list named "Solved" where I save all solved mystery caches. I can examine it and see what is in my Tour area easily.

    Bolling reacted to AnyMules in MYSTERY - CHECKER - FEATURE REQUEST   
    A third party developer doesn't have access to the Groundspeak databases to be able to check that the entered coordinate is correct for any of the existing caches.  If you could just make an API call to get the final location of a cache, then puzzles wouldn't be much of a challenge at all.
    For any new caches, having cachly being the only way to check a coordinate restricts too much of the population of cachers (all those that don't have an Apple device), so there wouldn't be any point in doing this either and excluding the majority of the geocaching community.
    With many checkers already in existence (Geochecker, Geocheck, Certitude, or Groundspeak's own one), there are plenty of existing checkers for a CO to chose from, and not a lot of point in @Nic Hubbard spending time developing yet another one, taking his time away from fixing other more important things with the app which benefit a greater proportion of the Cachly users.
