I've made a few tests. If the app is freshly installed, import process works fine (both, gpx and zip import methods). But after any update, it breaks. The most recent update broke both (gpx and zip) import methods on my device. So I reinstall the app and it works fine again. Any ideas what is going on?

Thanks Nic, thats very helpful. If it’s not possible to have it in map view, then log filtering is the next best thing. Appreciate your help.
-
Ah, sorry about that. I misunderstood your question. I have two other ways that might help. On the logs tab, you can change the filtering of logs to a log type, which you could set to "Write note". Then you could scroll through the write note logs and tap the cache name if you want to go to that cache. You could also save large amounts of caches into offline lists and use the powerful offline filtering options. You could use the "Log type" along with the "Log text" option. Just some ideas, hope these can help. Other than those, if I was to try and build this feature, the API that we use wouldn't know if you had a write note log for a cache unless it was one of the last 30 logs in the cache. Project GC can do things differently as they have a full database of geocaching.com.

Just trying this out and it seems to pick up and display the icon wherever you have written in the personal note section rather than if you have written a note on the physical log. So whilst helpful it’s not telling me if the log has a note written by myself only that I have a personal note in the cache page. I guess from now on I could write the word ‘signed on’ or ‘unsigned’ first in the personal note section which would at least stop me having to scroll through all logs. Still have to open the cache to find out though rather than know at a glance at the map pin or list view.

Thanks Nic, Thats really helpful, I wasn’t aware of that on the expended pin, and although not quite what I’d imagined, at least saves having to open the pin fully and scroll through logs, thanks.

Two not recent bugs, Google maps zoom and offline corrected coordinate waypoints
Nic Hubbard replied to bloodycool's topic in Support
This is a known bug and one I also have been trying to replicate reliably. Working to fix it. Thanks, will make sure to get this fixed! -
Two not recent bugs, Google maps zoom and offline corrected coordinate waypoints
bloodycool posted a topic in Support
There are two bugs that I have noticed in previous 5.x version that appear to have persisted into Cachly 6.0 1. When I switch from the offline premium maps to Google Satellite map, it sometimes zooms out to show most of the world (usually centered on Australia oddly) instead of keeping the same location and zoom level. It doesn't happen 100% of the time, but quite frequently. 2. I do much of my caching in offline mode. If I create a Is Corrected Coordinate waypoint while offline I get the message that "The connection seems to be offline..." and it creates the waypoint. But if I then try to delete that waypoint, I get an error that the "Internet connection appears offline" and I can't get rid of it. When I have no service and can't get back on the internet, this can be problematic. Waypoints created that don't use the Is Corrected Coordinate don't exhibit this behavior. The new features in 6.0 are awesome, especially state restore. That one is gold right there (and the reason for a developer tip a few weeks back) Cachly version number: 6.0.1 iOS version: 13.5.1 Device that you are using iPhone SE 2020 Screen that issue is happening on and if you can replicate it: Google maps / waypoints Premium user of geocaching.com: -
There are many different icons that can show up on the pins, so we would need to make it work with the design, and likely be a user option that is off by default. In the meantime, the note icon does appear on the map callout and in list view, if this helps. See screenshots:

Hi, I really enjoy challenge caches and highlight those I qualify for but have not yet signed. However, there are some that, although I don’t yet qualify, I have visited and signed (write note) instead of find logged and thought it would be great if a symbol appeared on those a bit like the corrected coordinates red triangle. I’d noticed that when using the map of challenge caches on Project G-C a small white note was displayed on those I’d signed and have found it really useful.

Do you have another device such as an iPad that you could test this same scenario on?
-
I do understand that without a log or debugging you are blind. Personally, I ask "a customer" to enable debug logging for a short period of time and gather log files. Anyway I am open to help you out. Just tell me what to do
-
I am just not sure how to proceed since I am not able to replicate this issue, and not sure how our steps are differing, as they seem the same.

Fair enough. Thank you anyway.
-
We'll have to wait for Nic to chime in. I don't know what might be cause the spinning on import.
-
Yes, I tried to import into existing list. I have just tried it with new list creation upon import process and it doesn't work either.
-
I watched the video and I see where it's not working - sorry for not checking before I posted. Is that an existing list you are loading into? Can you try a new list, which is what I did and worked for me. Just as a test.

In Safari it is even easier/less steps and it worked for me. I opened https://www.dropbox.com/s/42k9u1acr92reh3/gcunicorn_2020-06-25_11-02-21.gpx?dl=0 in Safari and most of the same steps take place. It is a little different after the Download step as I need to click the Download link at the top to the right of the URL bar. That opens a Downloads dialog and clicking that, for me, opens Cachly at the Import GPX screen. Do you get this screen/dialog and what happens when you press on the downloaded file?
-
Thank you for detailed info. When I go step by step with using Chrome, it works fine and I am able to import the GPX file. +1! (I do remember that I had problems with Chrome months ago.) But when I use Safari or Files app, it doesn't work - it hangs on nr. 10. - after tapping on Import, Processing... dialog appears with the wheel spinning. And here it hangs. I can notice small shift of the Processing... popup dialog after a few seconds. Can you please test it with Safari or Files app? I recorded the screen with the issue: 20200627_193919.mp4

Everyone's system is a little different depending on what apps are installed, etc so I'll try and walk you through me processing the link you said. It might not be 100% the same for you but maybe close enough. I have Dropbox installed on my phone but I didn't us it as part of the steps. I long press the link to https://www.dropbox.com/s/42k9u1acr92reh3/gcunicorn_2020-06-25_11-02-21.gpx?dl=0 and open in a new tab in my browser (Chrome). I select continue to the web site vs install/use the dropbox app. That presents a browser screen with a Download link that I click and select Direct Download (vs Save to my Dropbox). I get a small option at the bottom of that browser screen and press Download again, I get another small option at the bottom of that browser screen with two options. One lists your file name and Open in... and the other option, for me, was for Google Drive. I select Open in... My phone opens a familiar window when you typically do a Share on the phone. Here again depending on what you have installed, Cachly might be in different places. I don't have anything for Cachly if I scroll down the options on that window, and I don't show anything for Cachly when I scroll across the listed app icons, so at the end of the app icon list I select the icon with three dots labeled More. The more screen brings up a long list that will depend on what you have installed. For me, I scroll way down the list and I see Copy to Cachly there. When I tap Copy to Cachly, it launches Cachly and goes to the Import GPX screen in Cachly Not sure if you needs steps from here but I'll include them. I tao Choose Offline List at the top of the Cachly Import GPX screen Select an existing list or press the + in the top right of the Cachly screen to create a new list which you then need to select After selecting a list, adjust any other options and then tap Import in the top right of the Cachly Import GPX screen Tap the Lists icon at the bottom and re-select your list and you should see the caches If the above doesn't work, which step in the process are you not able to match against something on your phone?
-
Nope. When I long press on the link and select Share option, there is no "Open in Cachly" option. So I have to download it first, compress it and import the compressed file.

That link opened up Dropbox and from there I was able to successfully import into Cachly. Here is a GPX file I uploaded to the Cachly website, are you able to use the share option in Safari and open it in Cachly? https://www.cach.ly/__data/assets/file/0005/14756/1,000-Caches.gpx
-
Test gpx file. I am using the latest version of iOS (13.5.1) on iPhone SE.
-
Do you have a link to this specific GPX file so I can test it? Also, what version of iOS are you using?
-
I downloaded it via Safari - so from Safari's download context menu. And I tried it from Files app (from Downloads folder) as well. EDIT: Then I compressed the gpx file directly inside Files app and imported the compressed file into Cachly.
-
Where are you trying to import the GPX file from?
