    Heading (direction)

    Interesting suggestion. Yes, this would be possible since that data is available in the location data form the GPS chip. There would have to be a warning/explanation for users if this was the case since it would no longer behave like a compass. This would take some extensive testing, but I do think it would be possible.

    Geosphere user trying Cachly

    As a Geosphere user since ver 2, I have been very satisfied and use it for most of my caching. But it seems that the developer has either lost interest or been too busy to address problems caused by iOS updates. But since the Cachly developer is so engaged, I thought I would mention some handy features that I’ve become accustomed to and haven’t found in Cachly. If I've overlooked them please let me know. I posted this on the facebook Cachly group and was asked to post it here. 1. When I first tried Cachly I was dismayed by the similarities to the “official” app, I like the compact and precise “pins” used by Geosphere better than the large Ouija planchette markers used by Cachly. Based on the facebook post, there are a lot of users who hate the pins but I'm not seeing any logical reasons why. 2. In Geosphere you can change the colors of the cache pins. For example, in Cachly I usually can’t tell the difference between a virtual and a letterbox. 3. Also the red “as the crow flies” line between your location and the target. I wish there was a way to turn them off because they are only useful if you are a crow. (joke) 4. Geosphere has a very handy feature that turns suggested coordinates in logs to a hyperlink that when clicked gives you the option of creating an additional waypoint or correcting the primary one. I’ve used that a lot. 5. I read that filters in offline caches will be added in a later version. This would be a big help. As it is now it seems you are required to do the filtering when creating the offline group. 6. Not sure if this is possible in Cachly but in Geosphere the offline groups seem to all subsets of a single database allowing the user to mix and match groups as needed. 7. Geosphere doesn’t have this but Google maps does. A dark background screen for night caching or battery conservation. All that being said, Cachly is very capable and promising and will probably soon by my go-to app for caching. One more thing, the map selection in Cachly is superb, even with the API Key glitch in the open maps. Keep up the great work!

  3. Welcome to Cachly Having a line linking your position and the destination makes sense to me, and I've seen it used in other (non-caching) navigation apps. You can always just back out to the main map screen and do your own navigation from there.

  4. I notice some street names are bold and some are not. Street names retain their tiny type even when you zoom the map in. As a middle aged dude whose eyesight is not as sharp as it once was for reading, I'd appreciate at least an option in the settings to make all street names bold. I suppose a touch-to-magnify bubble would work too, but is probably even more work for you. Thanks!

  5. A little off topic, but I guess there are a lot of "refugees" using Cachly! Great to see an active developer again

    DNF color in overview screen

    That would make it far better indeed! I like it!

  7. Assuming the Russians do not influence this vote, I cast mine as follows: I vote for the traditional/original colour scheme - Yellow smile, Blue frown, etc.
