  1. Thanks Everyone for your prompt help. I believe what I am going to do and should have done is to log onto my friends Geocaching.com app with her UserID on my computer. Than I will create the route and run a PQ for that route, just like I did for myself. I'll then download the PQ to her iPhone 6S. It would seem that this is easier and more readily understand by myself. I can see that what caused the problem was the UserID differences between Geocaching.com app and my friends cellphone. Thank you all for your help. Cachly is still the BEST.
  2. Thank you for the quick responses. I do not know the answer about using a GPX file. Here is all that I did. Once my PQ was completed on Geocaching.com I went to the download page and clicked on "Pocket Queries Ready for Download". I selected the file and then waited. After a period of time it appeared on my Cachly App by going to More>Pocket Queries. I then selected the PQ and it downloaded to my iPhone and listed it on the Offline page. I used my computer and my Geocaching.com app with my UserID. I thought I could download from my Geocaching.com on my computer to my friends iPhone. My friend does posses her own Geocaching.com app. on a Windows based computer and does have her own uptodate Cachly app on her iPhone 6S. I was not using her computer with her app. I was trying to download the PQ from my MacBook Pro computer to her cellphone. I'm beginning to think that the UserID on my Geocaching.com app matches the UserID on my iPhone and that is why everything runs so automatically and smoothly. My friends unique UserID of her iPhone 6S is what keeps her phone from receiving the PQ I ran on my computer. I apologize for not understanding your instruction about API and GPX. Not understanding, the download to my cellphone from my computer seems to work without my doing anything that I am aware of.
  3. I have tried everything to find an answer before writing this problem and failed. So here goes. Background...I am accessing Geocaching.com on my MacBook Pro and I have an iPhone 6 (mine) and an iPhone 6S (friends) both with Cachly apps installed. Using Geocaching.com I created a vacation route. Then I performed a PQ for geocaches along the route. All good so far. When the PQ was ready I did a download from the "Pocket Queries Ready for Download" And the PQ was automatically downloaded to MY iPhone 6 without any problem. I saved it to an offline list....and I'm happy. Then I tried exactly the same function and tried to download the PQ to my friends iPhone 6S and NOTHING! I tried this repeatedly and I could not get the PQ I created along a route to my friends iPhone 6S. Why is this happening? Can I not create a PQ and download it to another cellphone? Is my cellphone exclusive to geocaching.com and/or Cachly? Should I have turned off my cellphone completely so that only my friends cellphone is on? How can I download a PQ from my computer to a friends cellphone? Thanks in advance for any help offered.
  4. Thank you Nic. Is all of this documented somewhere? Am I the only one who does not know any of this? Thanks again. I'm loving this app you've created. I'll be following the forum and your website from hereon.
  5. Thank you both for getting back to me so quickly. I apologize because I am still confused. I think my confusion is over the fact that I may not understand what a Offline Map is about. Does Offline Map mean that when I am out of range of a cellphone tower my iPhone will still have a map of the area that I am geocaching in, with the geocaches that are in my area? Perhaps it would be better if I state my predicament. I"m going to the Smokey Mtn. National Park this summer. I created a Pocket Inquiry from Geocaching.com of geocaches in the area that I want to find. My Pocket Inquiry from Geocache.com is created and from it I printed a paper map of it. Now I go to North Carolina and I'm in the Smokey Mtns to look for my geocaches and my iPhone says no signal. So now all I have is a paper map and no way to get to the geocache ground zero nor a compass to directly to where the geocache is located. Is it my understanding that Offline Maps will enable me to find the geocaches from my Pocket Query? Is there a way my Pocket Query will be mapped out on my iPhone when I'm out of signal? How do I get the geocaches from my Pocket Query to show up on Offline Maps? If the geocaches do appear on my Offline Maps, will the compass on Cachly direct me to the geocache? I hope I'm making myself a little better understood.
  6. I just learned of Cachly and its app for the iPhone. I learned enough from the Internet to know that I wanted this tool instead of my Geocaching Classic app that is soon to be discontinued. I have found that the Cachly app is OUTSTANDING! I love it! It is more and better than the Geocaching Classic app ever was. Cudos to you Sir on your accomplishment. But I have a problem. What particularly drew me to the Cachly app was the fact that it featured offline maps. My GF and I frequently find ourselves geocaching where there is no Internet service. We've long since stopped using our GPS devices in favor of our iPhones. In trying to figure out how to use Offline Mapping I keep getting lost. I have tried to find instructions on how to do this and I cannot find any. I've google searched about as much as I can. I've tried YouTube as well and I cannot seem to find instructions on how to use this feature. Is there somewhere I can get step by step instructions on how to perform the steps required to get Offline Mapping on my iPhone. Please and Thank You.
