Just curious, how are you getting new cache notifications by text? I have never seen this option on geocaching.com.
-
I'll report here, the next time I use Cachly for navigation. May be a while
-
Yes, the line will stay locked on your current location and the target cache. Sounds like there was a glitch. Can you replicate this?
-
I should explain I'm very poor at using Cachly. I normally cache using my car's navigator switching to a handheld GPSr when I'm near the destination. I only use Cachly for certain things. Yesterday I was using it for the first time in a while. From a map I knew about where the cache was. When I parked I selected it in Cachly and tried to use Cachly to go to the location. After I selected the cache I changed to what I think is the navigation screen. It pointed about 350' away. As I went toward the cache the line did not change. I expected the pointer/line to change as I walked toward where it was pointing like my handheld does, but it didn't. As it turned out I was nearer the cache initially. I finally realized I could watch the number of feet and that took me to the cache. If I had had to depend on the pointer I would have never found it. So, how is that pointer/line supposed to work?
-
I mean text messages. I haven't been able to figure out how to select the link since it's hot if I touch is it goes to the cache page. But your suggestion works because I can get the link from the cache page and past it into the search. Thanks.
-
I haven't ever seen those available as text message, are you meaning the emails? If so, you can copy the link and paste that into the Cachly search bar on the live tab.
-
I receive text notifications of new cache approvals. Is there a way to have Cachly select the cache in the text message?

That did the trick! Many thanks.

Looks like you just need to refresh your lists. When on the Online lists tab, just pull down on the list and it will load new data. Let me know if this helps.

Hi, Hoping you can help. Love the App but am having trouble with the deleting Lists. I have deleted my old Lists from Lists from Geocaching.com but they still show in the Cachly App on my iPhone. In the Online Tab, I swipe to the left to delete them, select Delete but get the following error message: Error BM89YJJ does not exist - (The BMD # changes with each list I try to delete.) How can I clear my Lists from my phone? Many thanks

Ah, yes. I am surprised that it works at all. It must be using the GPS course data.

Haven't gotten #3 to happen again... Have used the watch stand alone, but still have to put it through its paces to say one way or another.. It did dawn on me why the iPad wouldn't switch orientations while I was setting there fooling with it, it doesn't have a "real" compass, so won't change until you move a bit and it interpolates it...

Let me know if you can replicate #3, I am not able to. Also, for question #1, have you tested this again? Many users use this feature.

Yes, the watch app uses GPS/Location services from your watch, it it has GPS. Is yours at least a Series 3 watch? There isn't a way to lock this mode, but it has been a requested feature. What map are you using? Going to the compass or descriptions should not take you out of this mode. I wasn't able to replicate this. Let me know what map type you are using so I can try and replicate that on my devices.

1) Noticed while out using the watch, at on cache, left the phone in the truck, had watch on. Started trekking towards GZ.. Using the "compass" feature in cachly, noticed the distance never changed as I walked... I know the watch has gps and compass, so does it only derive the information from the phone? Is there a way to use the watch as stand alone? 2) Using Ipad in car noticed "course up" function changes every time I manually reorient the map, or go back to the description or compass. I ALWAYS want to use it in course up. Is there a way to lock that on ? I must hit that little button a hundred times a day if I am out LOL.. Frustrating... 3) Also noticed at times yesterday, course up just plain would not work. Tried to think of what was different when it was and wasnt working... I believe the issue happens, when you select a cache and navigate to it, and using the ... menu at top, choose apple maps to get road guidance to it.. Seems as if when the maps app is open, the course up function fails in cachly.. Seems as if closing the maps app (running in background) fixed the issue... Just letting you know.. Thanks! Warren

Glad it is working!

Went out caching with it,, it eventually started to work, not sure what the issue was ,,,
-
It should be working. Can you view a few caches on your phone (meaning view the details screen) and then see if it works on your watch?
-
It shows connected to the watch, on my iPhone
-
Yes... it seems to be working with everything else
-
It should be recognizing the current cache from your phone right away. Are you sure you have bluetooth turned on on both devices?

Hi Nick, just got an Apple Watch, mainly to use with cachly I finally got it to work with "nearby" and list etc.. It kept saying it wasn't paired.. I powered everything everything off and on, and eventually got it to work.. However when you hit "current" it says "missing geocache, load a cache on your IOS device". I opened cachly on my iPhone and loaded a cache and hit the compass symbol, but it doesn't seem to recognize it ?

Thanks, this helped me find the bug. It will be fixed for 6.0.6. Thank you!

Yes! I confirmed that it is okay with a live search but wrong in the offline list. I checked two others just to make sure.
