Cachly has shut down when I switch to another app to grab text, navigate with a map program, check a web page, answer a text, etc

Unfortunately this is a standard thing that iOS does. It is in charge of killing apps if it chooses.

However, we are working on some solutions to this. Stay tuned for 6.0.

Excellent idea about defaulting the export title to the list name. Will get this added.

Was this feature ever added?

No, this isn't something that was ever added. It is unfortunately far down on the priority list as there are many other features on that list that users would use more often.

Yes, go to Settings > Log Defaults and you will see options for changing these defaults.

Another question about the  "Find Caches Near This" feature. I now use this frequently, and it does take me to a view of the caches near the one selected. It shows, however, all of the caches that I have already found, and I don't see any way to filter those out so I can see only the unfound caches. Consequently, I still find myself copying the GC code, switching to the "real" live view (from the tab at the navigation bar at the bottom), searching for that code and then filtering as necessary. Are there filter options in the  "Find Caches Near This" mode that I'm missing? 

Thanks!

No, there currently isn't an option for that. The Find Caches Near This just finds all caches. Will consider adding this in the future.

Yes, this was an API issue that was quickly fixed by HQ.

I don't see them....?

Maybe a particular IOS version or > required? I'm still on 9....

You would have to wait until Dec 25 in your timezone, and be on the latest version of Cachly which is 5.2.17.

Yes, just tap the text option at the top of the screen:

That toggle will save what you last used, so once you tap Text it will default to that.

I'm gonna call this one a win but how cool would it be if I could show the satellite view in the car's display!?

There might be, I sadly don't have CarPlay to test.

Thanks for the update. Please let me know if the issue continues.

Yes, you can use the ... button on the Navigate to Cache screen and then choose to navigate with Apple maps, this should then open the navigate in Car Play.

Please let me know if this works.

That is very strange, we haven't heard of this happening before. A few questions:

• Is this only happening with Earth caches?
• What method are you using to upload photos, just the normal log and Send Now option? Or, are you adding photos later or using Pending logs?

Thanks!

Unfortunately this isn't something that is possible with the geocaching.com API.

It is doing it with some online maps too e.g. Open Street Map. It seems to be continually redrawing the tiles.

Thanks, I can replicate this. It seems this is a new iOS 13 specific bug. Testing some of our other devices, pre-iOS 13 do not have the issue. I will get this bug logged.

Good point, email sent

Thank you. I just watched it.

This happens because the Standard Offline Maps are old technology and is quite slow at drawing the map tiles.

Have you tried our new Premium Offline maps? This is our next generation offline maps that are extremely fast, detailed, beautiful and updated very frequently. Please give them a try as I think you will be quite pleased!

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Yes I can, would you prefer it posted here or sent separately?

I think for privacy reasons you can send it to our support@cach.ly email. Thanks.

Nothing has changed at all in Cachly regarding maps, so what you are seeing must be an iOS issue. Do you mean the tiles are loading? 

Can you provide a screen video of the issue? Thanks!

The maps have been restored to a previous version. We will be working on diagnosing the bug that caused this. Thanks again for reporting!

It looks like there were some server issues when generating maps for all of the USA. I am working to restore the map files and then will work to fix the issue. 

Thank you!

You have to tap the option to choose where you want to import the GPX file.

Hope that helps!

I am maybe not sure after all, if I use “history” to open a cache page is that still live or not? So I just tried that and see the live tab grays out, so I would say there is a good possibility I am not live after all. 

If you access history, it will first check your offline lists to see if it contains an offline cache. It that is not found then it will load a live cache.

The thread is a little old, but do not see where it was resolved. I have had this same problem basically since I started using Cachly a year ago. After I put in a waypoint, (which does show as the current coords, not zeros, when I start.) carefully make sure I save it before leaving the page. I can open it and navigate to the site. Close it and reopen it and everything is okay. But at some point it disappears. I have tested by creating a waypoint, saving it, copying it and pasting into the "Personal Note" section. At some point when I go back the waypoint is gone, but the personal note remains. Maybe when syncing with Geocaching.com it is overwritten? (Because I see the note on Geocaching.com now, but not the waypoint.) Currently on 5.2.13 (2). I just noticed this again. I solved a mystery cache, put the coords in, went and found the cache, logged the find, went home, now the waypoint is gone. If there is other information I can provide please let me know!

ADDED: Not an issue, but often I end up with TWO identical waypoints, and do not delete either of them, but editing one sometimes I end up with THREE, some with original coordinates, then one new one with new/edited coords as if I "Copied" the original and then edited it, but I am not doing that, at least intentionally.

Is this on the live tab or offline?

Don’t know if you know this thread:

https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/118932

But it looks very interesting. 

There isn't currently a solution to this. I have been working directly with an Apple engineer on the issue, and as mentioned in the above when multiple apps are registering for GPX files is when the bug occurs. He said there is no fix.

The one fix I do see in the thread is to allow Cachly to open ANY file type, which I am hesitant to do.

You should already be able to do this, but you do it the opposite way. Open the Files app on your device and browse to your files, then:

• Long press the file
• Scroll down on the menu to "share"
• Then choose "Copy to Cachly" in the menu

No, Cachly does not have an option for this. It is a limit of the geocaching.com API and would be really hard for us to implement this feature. The official app is able to do this since they able to do things differently in their app.
