 I tried to set up waypoints for parking and trail information but apparently waypoints can’t be created for custom caches. I am not sure why there is a limitation on this but could the app support multiple custom waypoints in the future ?   

Yes, this is a current limitation. Hoping to get this added in a future version.

I found this site that will process the Adventure Labs into GPX:  https://gcutils.de/lab2gpx/

Yes, something like that will work. The official AL API we use does not support stages.

Currently geocaching.com Drafts are not shown in Cachly. Reason being, the majority of Cachly users would use Pending Logs (saved in Cachly until you are ready to submit) or if they do submit a Draft, they will finish it on their computer since they prefer the larger keyboard.

We have considered adding it in a future version, but we honestly have never had one user ask about this until now.

No, I don't have plans to import these .txt files into Cachly. You can however export .txt files from Pending Logs for uploading to geocaching.com.

Are you using the Garmin and Cachly?

No, there isn't a way to bulk apply a template. However in the future you can make a template just for event Attended logs.

And drafts is something in Settings I can just set as default? Currently I just unclick "Send now" and "Save" the log, which only saves to the iPhone. 

Yes, you can set the Drafts option as a log default. In a future version I hope to have geocaching.com Drafts show up in Cachly so that users can finishing them there instead of the website.

Pending logs are local to your device and aren’t something that sync. You could use Drafts that save to geocaching.com but you would have to finish those on the website. 
 

Hope this helps.

Just one last glimmer of hope - the ‘Personal Logs’ that I wrote won’t be cached anywhere will they?

 When I reload the AdLabs from a new gpx, Cachly remembers which stages were found, but obviously not the other data (or highlights). 

Sadly no. Those personal notes were saved in the SQLite database. The found status for Adventures is saved in another place that doesn't get deleted.

I just tested this workflow to see if there was a bug, but I wasn't able to replicate this. My AL caches were still in the second list.

That being said, no, unfortunately there is not a way to recover deleted caches.

This would be possible, but I don't prefer to clutter up the interface that much. What is the use case for this?

Yes, distance is from current location. So you are looking for an option to set distance from another cache. Will look to look into adding this.

Thanks. Will have to think about this.

How are you thinking the WhatsApp username would be associated with a Geocaching User?

It seems that the „visit option“ will not be transferred to the draft page on geocaching. 

That is correct. geocaching.com does not have the option to do that.

In 7.0.1 the Web view option will no longer have Dark Mode, so this shouldn't be an issue in that view anymore. Hope this helps.

This is a bug and will be fixed in 7.0.1. That keyword picker should only be showing trackable keywords.

When you are adding text to a log, you can tap the ... button on the top right and choose Text Templates, and from there you can choose what template to enter. Does this help?

Thanks for the suggestion!

In future is possible to get 1 .gpx from garmin and make mass log?

That isn't something that we have planned. You can import the GPX, then create logs for all the caches, but that doesn't seem to be what you are wanting.

Has there been another update to the "Mark as found" feature. Because now I only have the possibility to copy coodinates and color mark a Adventure Lab Cache

No, no additional updates. You are likely not seeing the option because you need to enable iCloud and iCloud Drive for Cachly in iOS Settings. Once you do this you will see the option to mark as found.

Thanks for the suggestion.

If you have caches saved into an offline list, there is a distance filter. Would this help here?

I just tried it again and discovered that if I press harder it works. It seems to need a harder press than on the map view. Sorry about the false alarm. I must’ve tried it 20 times in the last 24hrs and that’s the first time it worked

Yes, some phones that still have the force touch feature of the screen where you hard press. Glad that you got it figured out!

If you long press in list view it should show options within about .5 seconds. If you hold for longer, does anything show?

For reference, I tested on an old iPhone 6 with iOS 11.

That doesn't seem to work on the list view. I press and hold and nothing happens. Eventually I remove my finger and it opens in the AL app. Works fine in map view

Hmm, well that is strange, we haven't had this reported before. What device and version of Cachly are you using?

How can I do this? Whenever I tap on an AL icon it takes me straight to the AL app

Edit: just discovered I can long press the icon on the map but doesn’t seem to work on the list view

Yes, long press on AL caches in list view or the map callout.
