Bolling Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 Nick. I fully understand that your focus is with the Groundspeak Geocaching platform. I occasionally look for Terracaches (TC) too (occasionally because quite frankly there aren't that many). With other apps I have used I was able to import a Terracache GPX file into the app for use in offline mode. I tried that for the first time today in Cachly and it displays the coordinates. Even the cache title is in incorrect. I checked the GPX file and have no idea where the title came from. Here's what it looks like in another app. The title is present as well as the description and recent logs although the log types didn't translate here either. Nevertheless the important information is present. Have you considered supporting TC GPX files? If not would you be willing to look at one. I realize that if this takes much work it would be way down the priority list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team DEMP Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 Can you attach the GPX for 1 cache - TC9NH - that you imported? The site requires someone to register to get an example to compare what the differences are. Do you use GSAK? Could it handle the transformation by importing into GSAK and exporting a Cachly readable GPX in the interim? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolling Posted March 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 I do use GSAK. I'll be glad to try that. Here's the GPX. https://www.dropbox.com/s/4h6s8ot9aijcejg/Cache - TC9NH.gpx?dl=0 I'll follow back up after I try the GSAK export. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Hubbard Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 I am interested in supporting this GPX. Will do some testing very soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team DEMP Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 Super quick review, and I have nothing to do with Cachly, is that Terracache outputs GPX 1.1 while Geocaching.com outputs GPX 1.0. This difference causes the structure of the XML GPX files to be very different. I don't know if it's possible to request Terracache GPX output as 1.0 format or if GPSBabel would convert the necessary data effecively. No idea how Cachly is coded for parsing and if it is using a set of routines that know GPX 1.0 and/or 1.1 or if the program is handling via custom XML parsing.

Bolling Posted March 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 I did test this by importing into GSAK and then exporting from there and it displays properly. In my case my Offline imports come through GSAK at least 75% of the time, just not in when I first tried this TC import. The GSAK solution works for me, but I realize there may be other TC users who don't use GSAK. Nic Hubbard 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
