I think there might be some misunderstanding. I have predefined logs (templates) for DNF (Did Not Find), NM (Needs Maintenance), Found It, and also for WN (Write Note). When I change the log type, the template type automatically changes accordingly. However, if I select WN, the template corresponding to the last log type before the change remains.

I am not able to replicate this. Is it still happening?

Thanks, will consider this.

Yes if you know the GC code. Doing a normal search you will not find archived caches as the API does not allow this.

If you create a My Finds GPX that will include archived which you can them import into Cachly.

Cachly does not use background location services unless you use the proximity alert feature. Did you turn that on and forget about it?

I ran the pocket query, then reviewed the results and determined a subset of those geocaches, then selected "Download Waypoints" and the resultant file was a .loc.  It only became a .GPX after I opened it in EasyGPS.  Is there a way to make the geocaching.com file default to .GPX?

If you run a pocket query, those should then be available in the More > Pocket Queries section of Cachly. No need for a GPX.

To answer your question, when you create a Pocket Query, there is a "Format" option and you need to choose GPX rather than .loc.

So... 

  When I make a GPX file on Geocaching.com by selecting specific desirable geocaches out of a pocket query/route and then pressing the  "Download Waypoints" button it doesn't include all the data Cachly requires, or does it get stripped-out when I next open it in EasyGPS? 

GPX files from geocaching.com and many other sources work correctly. But Cachly just needs that GC Code.

Do you mean downloading the Pocket Query GPX? That does work correctly, but you can natively see PQs in Cachly that you have generated.

Also, the route files from the Pocket Queries section only contain route data not geocache data.

I am not familiar with EasyGPS.

Thanks for the file.

That GPX is not in the correct format that Cachly recognizes. It is missing the Cache Code which is a major data point for Cachly. Because of this Cachly skips importing the caches.

Have you tested it a second time in Cachly? Did you choose to import i to an offline list rather than counties? Please send me the file to support@cach.ly

Are you sure that the GPX file contains data? 

If this something that you would really use? Widgets just seem gimmicky to me.

There shouldn't be much to it. I would check with Apple Support chat (which you should have with your new watch) and see if they can help with why it wouldn't install.

I agree this would be a really nice addition.

Hope to add this in the future.

Not at this time. Cachly uses a lot of boundary files for various features which can be large.

Just to add, I used this feature on a big series and it is a complete game changer. I turned it on for a Cachly-using friend while were out in the field, and we were both blown away. 

Thank you again :-D

So glad to hear that it helped you and a Cachly friend!

No worries thanks Nic, so a workaround would be to save them to an offline list and then I can filter? 

Yes, that would be the only way to filter them.

There is filtering for highlights in offline lists.

For live, those results come from the geocaching.com API, and highlights are only a Cachly feature. It wouldn't really work to filter highlights without being able to do this on the server side which isn't possible.

I cannot express how happy today’s update has made me!! It is utterly brilliant and worth this year’s subscription for the ‘hint in notification’ feature alone. 

I am glad to hear that it helped you!

You cannot sort Online lists.

Do any of the other options work?

Nic, when you say "if you make future find logs in Cachly" does that include logging them as found then sending them as drafts to the website? I just returned from Oklahoma where I found almost 300 caches across 14 counties, all using Cachly (sent as drafts to the website) and Cachly only shows that I cached in a single county in Oklahoma. 

No, since you have not yet created a find Cachly will not count those. If you promote those drafts as finds in the Drafts section of Cachly they WILL be counted.

Fixed for 8.0.4.
