    Letterboxes are not necessarily at the given location.  A "true" letterbox usually requires following some set of instructions to find the final cache location.  A letterbox hybrid can be set up either like a traditional geocache (where its hidden at the given location) or it can be set up like a traditional letterbox (where its NOT hidden at the given location).  You can't really tell which way any given letterbox is hidden without reading the description.

    Thanks for the input. I think we will keep it as is.

    Here's a suggestion. Instead of changing the color replace the circle with the Wherigo arrow. I know the theme would be different, but of course you can't capture a Wherigo cache from Cachly anyway. 

    Of course there may also be legal issues with that approach. 

    Yes, legally I would need to get permission to use it. 

    Will add it to the list, however I will have to make it low priority as there are many other large features that need attention.

    Is it possible to open app in " non Live map mode" using a downloaded vector map? 

    This isn't currently possible to open Cachly and force it to go to an Offline List. Cachly is an "online first" app with powerful offline features. However, I think it would be a good idea to add an option to allow completely offline loading of Cachly. I will add this to our list.

    Thanks!

    Perfect. All we need now is a dropbox option on the menu rather than finding it through the "Other" menu option.

    I don't see it being added as a main tab anytime soon. However in the future we plan to allow customization of tabs.

    I just tried to repeat the issue and was not able too. I then deleted the offline PQ and repeated the steps and reproduced the issue.  Also, the distance sort was all out of order.  

    Still struggling to reproduce this. I will keep trying this week.

    I just tried this and it appears that is what is happening. Seems if you just stay where you are, the list of caches by distance remains stable based on whether you've selected ascending/descending.

    I thought this might be the issue. I have so far been hesitant to fix this without more testing and here is why:

    Say you have an offline list with 2000 caches. GPS returns a new location update every second or so. This would be the time to then update all the caches with the new location. However, you could imagine how this could start to turn into an issue if every second we tried to loop through 2000 caches and update their distance. Memory and CPU usage would be high.

    To solve this issue I am going to update all caches at a longer interval, say 30 seconds. This should fix the bug while also not overwhelming iOS with trying to update a large amount of caches each second. 

    Will work on fixing this bug. Thanks everyone for the testing and input.

    Just noticed our cable car tracks are missing (New Zealand):  OSM shows them but not Cachly.  This is halfway between 2 stations:  S41 17.115 E174 46.109

    Is this what you were hoping to see?

    That rail type is called funicular: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:railway=funicular?uselang=en-US

    It looks like we were missing the style definitions for that type of railway, but I have added them now so that those types of railways show. Thanks for alerting me about this!

    Might be worth making play areas more green than aqua, as blue implies water — see screenshot with lake on left and play area on right.

    Thanks, that would be easy to change.

    I'd like to see contour lines, but realise that could make the map too busy.

    This is something that I have looked into but I am worried about the extra file size that it will add to the map downloads. It is still on our list.

    I did of course find the functionality after a while, but after seeing this post it reminded me of my struggle too.

    We will always continue working to make things better and more usable. So I will make a note of this and see what we can come up with. :)
