Yes and link the screenshot to the cache via the feature being discussed. 

This shouldn't be a problem, since it is for personal use.

I have V2.0.3 and can't find an option to refresh an offline database.  I can only find an option to refresh a cache and it's logs one at a time.  Has this been added yet or is it still in the future?

When viewing an Offline List, tap the ... button and you will see an "Update Caches" option.

One of my reasons for offline storage would be to capture the most zoomed in sat view tile before going offline. Do you figure that violates Google term of service?

Do you mean you would just take a screenshot of it?

I like the sharing aspect but would they be on any device that had synced with the cloud? I'm concerned about viewing the image in offline mode. 

Yes, if we implemented the iCloud feature that I mentioned, then yes. Or another alternative would be to just store the images on the device.

I haven't explained the question very well.

When you mark a cache as found in Cachly it displays a white tick that still can be seen on the map and changes to a smiley once a log has been sent.

I don't mean cache's that have been found previously and logged as these are filtered out already via the live search settings or when generating a PQ on geocaching.com.

Hopefully this explains things better?

This advanced filtering isn't something that is in the current version, but we are working on adding it in 2.1. You will be able to filter by a large number of parameters in Offline Lists.

So to be total offline, you'd use offline downloaded maps and PQs, but they both work well even when online. 

Or you can load up caches in the Live tab, then tap the ... and choose to save those to an Offline List. Or, you could import a GPX of caches. Many ways to have caches offline.

Thank you Nic.  Is all of this documented somewhere? Am I the only one who does not know any of this?

Thanks again. I'm loving this app you've created. I'll be following the forum and your website from hereon.

These are documented in the Help section of Cachly. Many of the features like this are built to be very intuitive so that we don't have to have vast tutorials. However we are more than happy to answer any questions when confusion arises!

Is it my understanding that Offline Maps will enable me to find the geocaches from my Pocket Query? Is there a way my Pocket Query will be mapped out on my iPhone when I'm out of signal? How do I get the geocaches from my Pocket Query to show up on Offline Maps? If the geocaches do appear on my Offline Maps, will the compass on Cachly direct me to the geocache? I hope I'm making myself a little better understood.

Yes, this is all possible. What you need to make sure to do is go to the More tab in Cachly, then to Pocket Queries and download your PQ to an offline list. This is the first step. Second, download the offline map that you are needing and you are good to go.

When you have no service make sure to turn on the offline map that you need, and then view your downloaded PQ in the Offline tab. Then you can navigate to any of the caches, view info about them, etc all while offline. The compass and GPS both work while offline.

The Map Options (stacked icon) can be accessed from any map screen, so you can download or change maps on any of these screens.

Please let us know if you have any questions about this!

Navigate to cache. Drop pin. Create as Waypoint. My confusion is due to the pin and the waypoint blue circle both being present. I clicked the pin and did Remove and the waypoint circle remained. The wording "Create as waypoint" made me think the pin would become a waypoint but there seem to be two entities there. 

I will make sure to fix it so it removes the dropped pin if the user chose this option.

Go figure. It was a good idea though. 

I put in a request with Groundspeak to have it fixed though.

That's correct. 

Not a big deal. 

It just came up when I was doing a bunch of cache maint. 

Just checked the API and it doesn't seem that this is possible.

So, I have the final located in the cache.  It's how the reviewer approved it.  

If I click on that link for final location, it will show me the coords.

Ah, I see. So you are meaning just on your owned caches, you would like to see those waypoints that are hidden to other users?

Great idea. Goes along the lines of another user request that I got recently for a feature like this.

I am not seeing any Stages created for that cache, even on geocaching.com. I see them in the hint, is this what you mean?

If you created the stages as Waypoints when creating the multi then they will show in Cachly. Is this what you did?

Just noticed removing waypoint leaves the blue circle. Thes waypoints were not targeted. 

You mean the waypoint pin is not removed when you delete a waypoint? How are you deleting the waypoint?

This is a feature that I have had on our feature list for a long time. My idea was to store the photos on iCloud so that they could by synced to different installs of Cachly.

They should be showing. What is the GC code?

Yes it should. Will log this as a bug.

Great discussion. This would be an easy change on my end, but I would like to hear what others think.

When you load caches onto the Live map, the API is performing a search. So it applies in this situation.

Cool idea. In the meantime, just wanted to make sure you knew that you can copy additional details from the "Additional Information" screen. 

Thanks for letting me know Stephen, will look into the issue of Netherlands and Germany not downloading. 

This is something we have planned and is on our feature list. Hopefully we can get it added soon.

maybe ought to have an X on top of it? I guess there is the general question of icon treatment when archived and when disabled. 

I will add these ideas to our feature list. Thanks!
