DrDaffy Posted August 26, 2019 Report Share Posted August 26, 2019 Yesterday I was caching and had an issue with Cashly. At one point on our hiking tour in the mountains we had problems finding a cache and wanted to check our coordinate projection. Based on what Cashly showed as 'Original coordinats' in the list of cache waypoints we did the coordinate projection again. Unfortunately what Cashly showed as 'Original coordinates' were in fact the 'Corrected coordinates'. So I made a second projection on the already projected coordinates and ended at a completely wrong place. I attached three screenshots. They show a solved Mystery. You see the main screen of the cache with the corrected coordinates and two screenshots of the waypoints. Once it shows the 'Original coordinates' as they should be and once it shows 'Original coordinates' which are in fact the corrected coordinates.

Nic Hubbard Posted August 26, 2019 Report Share Posted August 26, 2019 What version of Cachly are you using? Are you able to replicate this issue on another cache? I just tested this and I cannot replicate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDaffy Posted August 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2019 Cachly 5.2.5 (1) iPhone 6 iOS with iOS 12.4 Yes, I can replicate this. Just switched my phone offline, took a Cache at random from one of my offline lists, looked at Waypoints\Cache\Original Coordinates and it showed the corrected coordinates instead of the original ones. Then I switch my phone back online, go back to the main screen of the cache, pull down for update, go back to the waypoints and the original coordinates are OK.

Nic Hubbard Posted August 27, 2019 Report Share Posted August 27, 2019 6 hours ago, DrDaffy said: Yes, I can replicate this. Can you replicate this on a newly saved cache though? There was a bug a long time ago that caused this issue, and if you have offline caches that are very old this might be still the cause.

DrDaffy Posted August 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2019 Just tested. What I did: Create a test list Go to live view Select a cache with corrected coordinates Selected 'Add to list' from the 'list actions' menu Add to my list Switch to list Selected cache from list Go to Waypoints Result: A user waypoint named 'Coordinate override' with corrected coordinates and a cache waypoint named 'Original coordinates' also with the corrected coordinates Go back to the main screen of the cache and pull down Return to waypoints Result: No user waypoint but a cache waypoint named 'Original coordinates' with the original coordinates (this is what I would expect) Close Cachly Go offline Start Cachly Select the test cache in the test list Go to Waypoints Result: A user waypoint named 'Coordinate override' with corrected coordinates and a cache waypoint named 'Original coordinates' also with the corrected coordinates Hope this helps.

barefootguru Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 Remember cache details are now shared between lists, so if it exists in another list it'll still be an 'old' cache. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDaffy Posted August 29, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 Thats right but the caches where I first encountered this problem were done 1 week ago and downloaded for the first time 2 weeks ago. By the way: what meens 'long time ago'. It's only half a year ago I started using Cachly. If it helps I will repeat this test with a cache I never touched before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDaffy Posted August 29, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 Just tested with a new cache I never touched before. Going back to the offline cache while my phone is offline showed the same strange behaviour as before: the corrected coordinates show up in the list of user waypoints (normally the coordinate ovverride doesn't show up in the list of user waypoints) and in the list of cache waypoints the original coordinates show also the corrected coordinates. Go back online, switch to the main page of the cache, pull down to update and the waypoints are fixed: no user waypoint and original coordinates which are the original ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDaffy Posted September 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 Any news on this one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Hubbard Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 This should be fixed in our upcoming 5.2.6 version as I cannot replicate the issue anymore. Once we release that version let me know if you still see the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDaffy Posted September 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 Great, I'll keep you informed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDaffy Posted October 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 Still the same: while online... pick a new mystery cache I never touched and put it on an offline list add corrected coordinates update my offline list so my cahe info stored offline is up to date -> everything is fine close Cachly, go offline, start Cachly again... go back to my test list select my test cache -> original coordinates show the corrected coordinates I attached three screenshots: main page of the cache showing the corrected coordinates cache waypoints page showing the original coordinates as they should be cache waypoints page showing the corrected coordinates instead of the original ones Just did this using Cachly 5.2.9 Best, David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Hubbard Posted October 9, 2019 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 Thank you, I will use those steps to try and replicate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
