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!

I just did a test where I deleted all the text inserted by the template, and dictated "this is a test." , and the OBJ still showed up at the end.

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

This occurs for about 25% of the images when saving any Pocket Queries or Lists.

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.

Yes we are swisscom, both mobile and fixed line.

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.

any update on this core feature?

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?

I have the same issue on both of our iPhone's independent if we try via WIFI or mobile account.

We use Cachly 6.1.11(3) and additionally I logged out and again in the geocaching link,

What country are you located in?

Since I now have the maps, it's OK for me.

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

For completeness, I live in Switzerland.

The website and the forum are also difficult to access at times.

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?

Is there a tutorial or thread that would be best for the many L4C'ers who will be migrating?

Feel free to ask any questions, but here are some of our other resources:

• https://www.cach.ly/help
• https://www.facebook.com/groups/CachlyUserGroup - Thousands of Cachly users to help you.

Thank you. I will do my best to support L4C users that are interesting in moving to Cachly.

Yes, the character limit is 4000 characters. It has been on my list for quite a while, and I hope to get this added in 7.0.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Ah, thank you. That field isn't used in that way anymore, but it looks like there is an issue that puts that placeholder text there. Will fix.

Ahhh! In that case, the German translation for this search field is misleading. It says "Geocache-Name".

Thanks for pointing me to the other filter field. I did not notice this one.

What version are you using? I am looking at the German location strings, and I am not seeing that.

You need to tap the current location button on the bottom right to zoom Cachly back to your location.

Are you wanting this for something like a power trail? In general use, a few extra taps will take very minimal time, but I can see how it would cause issues for a power trail.
