I have a fix for this in testing right now. Will get 6.1.13 released once we do more testing.

Thanks, I will do more testing here to see if I can replicate it.

Any app or place in iOS that provides a "Share" option for a GPX or .zip of a GPX will be able to share the file with Cachly which allows import. Have you made sure to download the file locally first in Files? Once you do that you can use the Share option to send to Cachly. You can share the .zip that you downloaded from geocaching.com.

Thanks for the input, I appreciate it! Cachly does show distance to the target in both map and compass view just for reference.

Do you see the message on geocaching.com? Since we don't develop the official app, I can't say for sure, but I have a feeling that the Messages tab does not refresh automatically. I would try restarting the official app and see if it updates your Messages.

In Cachly, you can tap the current location button on the bottom right a few times to change it into "heading follow mode". This will rotate the map while you move, and show the small compass. Hopefully this will be of help.

Hi Caroline, Cachly does not have a large compass overlaid on the map like L4C does. Can you explain what you liked about having the compass and the map shown at the same time? Was it just personal preference or being used to it? Or did it provide extra insight into finding the cache to have it that way? Thanks!

One of the big differences here is that the official app can load 500 caches on the map at a time, and we have a max of 100. The official app also does not have a daily limit on number of caches loaded, but partner apps do. Because of these two limitations, I have been hesitant to include this feature. However, I get the request more and more so I am looking into how I can adequately warn the user of the inherent risks when using a live loading map. That being said, I am only investigating the possibility at this point and don't have it planned for a release.

Yes, if you have the GPX or zip of the GPX in email you just tap it or long press (depends on iOS ver) and use the share option then choose Cachly.

Thanks for the suggestion. You can also save caches in multiple offline lists if this helps for you to group them that way.

Thanks for the suggestion!

For whatever reason, iOS is inserting this. It has been fixed and will be in our 7.0 version.

The bug, as I have tracked it down, is due to the geocaching.com image server being very slow, and the image downloads timing out. Do you have any specific PQs that you can replicate this with?

Great suggestion. Thanks!

This will be fixed in our next minor update. There will also be a new keyword in our 7.0 version that will exclude geocaching.com Drafts from the count.

For whatever reason, it seems that users on Swisscom are having this issue, and no one else. If possible, would you be able to test on wifi that isn't on Swisscom? I will see about contacting them.

Yes, there are major updates coming in Cachly 7.0 to our watch app. Most of which have already been completed (waypoints and corrected coordinates) and are in the hands of our beta testers.

Great idea, will work to get this added!

Are either of you using Swisscom?

What country are you located in?

So both offline map downloads and the Cachly website are now working?

This is very strange, we haven't ever had this reported before. We also have beta testers in Switzerland, and they haven't ever had any issues. Are you able to test downloading offline maps on another wifi network, just as a test?

We aren’t able to replicate the issue here, so trying to figure out if this is an issue with Germany data centers or something. I had some reports from other German users, but some don’t have the issue. Will keep digging.

Are you using Wifi? If so, are you connected to a VPN, or is your phone connected to VPN? If not, does it work when you are just on cellular data?
