Please feel free to reach out right away when you have issues like this.

This particular error is likely caused by you having "full cache data" and loading 100 caches at a time. In Settings, change that to 70, and do not use full cache data unless you need to, it makes the API pretty slow.

Glad to hear that helped!

This has been fixed for 8.0.2.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Yes there are some pretty big hills in that park. There are a bunch of really hilly areas that don’t show any topo lines. For reference: Rockwoods Reservation, Greensfelder County Park, Babler State Park, Weldon Spring to name a few. 

I would need to regenerate the topo maps and hillshades to provide more detail, but not sure when I will get to that. what are the coordinates for this location?

As a side note, I just want to say thank you for all the updates and for the fantastic app. I absolutely love cachly and hope I didn’t come off as too grumpy in my post. I pretty much exclusively stick with the iPhone because I don’t want to use any other geocaching app. 

No worries. There are some bugs that have arisen that we didn't catch in development, but I am working hard to get these fixed in 8.0.2.

You can just delete the Antartica map and that will free up your space. 

The reason you are seeing it is that in the past, you must have download Antartica and it failed to uncompress (likely because the download was in the background) and was hidden in your filesystem. Cachly 8.0 will uncompress these and place these in your maps folder so that you have the option to remove them or leave them.

Let me know if deleting it clears up space for you.

Happy to, thanks for investigating!

Can you email support@cach.ly please.

Since a very early version.  Is there a fix I can make, or do I have to reinstall?

I would like to be able to take a look inside of the offline maps folder, but there is no way to do that without building in extra code and having you install a beta version. Would you be willing to install a beta?

Yes, this is not normal. How long have you had Cachly installed?

Yes I was able to see the topo contours for Jeff city. I guess the map for St. Louis doesn’t have as much shading. All the big parks in my area are devoid of topo lines. 

Do those areas have elevation change? If so, they should show topo lines.

Creating a backup inside the app is just for GPX files. The docs describe how to backup the database.

Did you backup the database file? Was there a specific reason why you deleted Cachly?

That is correct, if the maps are geographically far apart then you will see overlapping map elements, especially ocean features.

Along a similar vein....

I used to be able to toggle between text & HTML for displaying the hint, but I can no longer find where that opiton resides in 8.0.

Example: "Look low [br] fake bolt" ;  would like to see "look low" and "fake bolt" on separate lines (as they show on Geocaching app.)

Hints do not allow HTML. Do you have a GC code for the cache in question?

Hi @BassXX. I am sorry that you feel cheated about the new subscription model. As others said, it was done out of necessity because Cachly was losing money on the great cost of offline maps and the pay once model was not paying for the infrastructure costs. 

Shoot me off an email at support@cach.ly and we will make it right. Hope you have a good day.

Hi Dave, shoot me off an email to support@cach.ly and we will get this worked out.

Access any Pro feature and it will show the dialog. Go to More > Counties and it will show the subscription dialog. Hope this helps.

Please update to 8.0.1 as this has the bug fixes.

Thanks. Investigating.

What are the coordinates here? These might be tagged as a different trail type in Open Street Maps. Trails and paths do show in Cachly a low zoom, so that is why I want to check these specifically.

When was your map file download?

That´s all??? Sounds easy ;-)

Have I to import that "Draft" at geocaching.com at "field notes table" or does work automatically? 

I don't use the old Field Notes dialog on geocaching.com, but the new Drafts. But yes, once you submit the log and use the Drafts option it will show up on geocaching.com.

In Cachly you would use the "Save as Draft" when creating a log in Cachly. Draft is the new name for Fiend Notes.

Hope this helps!

Are you meaning how do you create a Draft/Field Note in Cachly?

Hmm, it downloads fine from the website, so I guess that's my workaround.

The website just downloads a .zip file. Cachly downloads full cache data.

In 8.0 downloading the .zip will be an option.
