What is the offline map update cycle?

This depends on which maps you are inquiring about. We have two map servers running:

Every 2 weeks:

  • USA
  • Canada
  • UK
  • Australia
  • Germany
  • South Africa

Longer update cycle, about 2.5 months to complete

  • The rest of the world

 

Notifications are not provided, but you can check the dates that we list for the last refresh when viewing the Premium Offline maps.

Maps do not automatically update as this would be a major overhead cost if all users maps updated all the time.

Updating is up to the user.

Thank you for your prompt response.

My only issue is you cannot see what map version you currently have as there are always ticks beside the maps you have downloaded, whether they are the most up-to-date ones or not. Any chance this could be addressed?

When you view the offline map in the downloads area each one has a date of when the map was last generated. If the date is less than about a month old then it is new.

I'm using an iPhone 4S with what appears to be the latest version of Cachly that will run on it  [ 3.0.3 (14) ] and just downloaded the latest BC (Canada) offline map for it - it appears much older than 2 weeks (not sure how to display the generation date as described above in this version of Cachly). Is there a solution to this?

This was in reference to our Premium Offline Maps in our 5.0 version. The maps in very old versions (3.0.3 is over a year old) of Cachly are not updated with the same frequency.

Thanks for the VERY quick reply!

Can you confirm that Cachly 3.0.3 is the latest version that will run on an iPhone 4S? And how frequently are the old maps updated? Thanks!

Cachly requires iOS 10, and the iPhone 4s does not allow iOS 10 to be installed, so sadly you are stuck on 3.0.3 unless you have a newer phone.

Old Standard maps are updated about every quarter.
