Strangely in iOS this is no easy task to do for an entire app. However, a friend of mine Gary Slinkard had also requested this a while ago, so I have completed development of this feature in my current alpha version.

How it currently works is how the default is for iOS. This is the same as how the Apple Maps application works. I do however realize it is a pain for users. It isn't a quick and easy fix on our end and is something that we have to develop our own solution for, but we will be working on getting this done in an upcoming version. iOS is what prompts that screen to show. It will show when iOS thinks it has encountered a magnetic field change. This could be because your phone is close to electronics or even a large chunk of metal like a car. Because of this there is a Settings option in Cachly to turn this off.

Yes. I have actually just finished implementing this feature in 2.1. It is very cool! Can't wait to let others give it a try. Didn't realize there were caches in Antartica!

I have tested this and cannot reproduce the issue. Are you still able to? What version of Cachly are you using?

I just got word from Groundspeak that this issue should be fixed. Could you try again?

The thing that is frustrating about this is that the API still only returns 50 caches at a time. I wish there was a way to load all friend caches at once and then save those to a list...

This is a geocaching.com API error that just started occurring. I have reported it to Groundspeak and hopefully it will get fixed ASAP.

So glad to hear that it worked! I will make sure to fix the slash in the username issue in 2.1!

This functionality has already been completed in the brand new coordinate parser in 2.1. Detection of coordinates in all formats will also be across the app.

Thanks. I will add the disabling the red line to our list of features for evaluation.

This is just a Cachly style which our users love. I think the pins in Geosphere feel like an old iOS style since many apps have moved away from this. I understand if it is hard to get used to something new. Other Geosphere users have suggested this. We have considered this and it is still on our feature list. Do you mean coordinates in the log text itself, or coordinates that were submitted with the log? Do you have a GC code I can look at? Yes, this will be coming in 2.1. In 2.1 we will be using a unified database. So caches in one offline list will be the same database record in another list. This will be the same as "groups". Let me know if you have any other questions.

This is a nice feature, but not one that we are likely to support right now. Cachly was built from a single user prospective so it would take a fair amount of work to change this. But it is on our list to consider for a future version.

This is a known issue that was just introduced recently by one of our map providers. It doesn't affect the map display at all and will be fixed in 2.1.

This has been requested by other users. We are planning to make it an option that you can turn off in Settings.

Thanks. Will do some digging into this issue.

Looking into this. Thanks for emailing me the .txt :).

Excellent idea. Let me know how it goes.

If you were to change your username and remove the / the only issue is that your hides will still be associated with your old username. This is a geocaching.com issue. In order to hide them from the map you will need to use one of the Search Options for "hide caches from user" and enter your old username. Other than this there shouldn't be an issue. You will just need to logout and log back into Cachly with the updated username.

Very interesting observation! It actually might be causing an issue since we write the prefs to disk and a slash would cause issues with that path. Thanks for noticing this!

Sadly no, this is a limit of the geocaching.com API, and that max is something that is set on their server, not in Cachly.

In the beginning of this thread. Look back on page 1.

Yeah, it is just a redraw issue. The radius is a separate object on the map.

Thanks Michael, Will add this to our bug list.

I agree the current solution isn't the best. Will revisit this.

County boundaries are available in our Offline Maps. They are represented by an orange line. But, there are other county boundaries that could be added to Live maps as well.
