For whatever reason, iOS is inserting this. It has been fixed and will be in our 7.0 version.

This will be fixed in our next minor update. There will also be a new keyword in our 7.0 version that will exclude geocaching.com Drafts from the count.

I tried a 4 year old „Introduction to cachly“ on YouTube, made by a Scotsman, and although a bit older, it helped here and there. What helped even more was asking a friend to try out logging his cache and him not wondering about the funny things that might happen - so I could log found, post DNF, add a coin and remove... - kind of personal intro. The rest worked out in the field then, asking my friends to be a bit more patient as I needed to find out how things worked...

No, as the pointer is specifically a heading indicator, which GPS course cannot do. Think about if you are standing close to a geocache, rotating your body looking for the cache, the compass will provide correction direction for the pointer in relation the tip of your phone, so when looking at the map you know exactly which way you are facing. GPS course cannot do this unless the user walks for a distance.

This is not something that I would use the GPS "course" data for. That is only for when you are moving that it will show the correct direction of movement. The heading indicator is not this.
It requires the compass because you can stand stationary in one location and rotate and the course indicator will change using the compass to point you in the direction of the cache based on the top of your device. This is not something that GPS course direction can do, as it doesn't update when a user rotates a compass.
I think we should just move on from this topic, unless you have another specific question, as I feel this is getting a bit heated.  Thanks.

There are hundreds of thousands if not millions of Geocachers using the various geocaching apps on mobile devices, as well as over 5 years worth of happy Cachly customers. We haven't ever had this issue reported, so that is why I was thinking it could be an issue with the device itself.

In a future version you will be able to see all waypoints on the map, so this should help.

Ahhh! In that case, the German translation for this search field is misleading. It says "Geocache-Name".
Thanks for pointing me to the other filter field. I did not notice this one.

I hate powertrails.
When I do an action over and over again, I try to think about how to make it friendlier.
I'm just thinking about how to make it better.

I would be interested in building this. I put in an application for the CarPlay program to Apple probably a year ago, but have not hear back. You can’t even start development without approval and some special files they provide.  

Thanks for posting those replication steps. I am still working on this bug.

OK
All maps have similar behavior, and only one has different behavior.
For me, this behavior is an obstacle to use. But is your app and your decision.
Thank You for your time for communication. 

In a future version you will be able to see all waypoints on the map, so this should help.

You are tapping the Google Street View button, which will open the map center on Google Street View.
If you would like to navigate to a cache, tap the ... button on the top right and you will see the various routing providers there:

In Cachly, you can long press on the map layers button to quickly access previously used maps. Using this method you can quickly switch back and forth between offline and satellite.

I worked on the new HQ Wherigo app, so hopefully it is a good compromise. Integrating a Wherigo player into Cachly isn't something that is planned.

Great
Perfect, just completed all the downloads and the maps are now working again. Thanks

Whohoo. It's working now. I have installed the latest app version and downloaded all PQs again. The downloaded images are appearing now as intended.
Looking forward to the map updates. Thanks

Perfect, thank you very much for looking into all that so quickly! Best service. Much appreciated.

The official app has the benefit of using an API that we cannot. It can load 500 caches at a time for the area around the map. This isn't a complaint, but just a fact. Because we cannot do this (no API like this for partner apps) and because of the API limits that users have on how many caches they can load per day and for each request, it would be a poor user experience. So it isn't something that we have planned right now.

This can be done on the Additional Information screen. If you tap on a row of information it will save to the clipboard. Then, if you long press on another row, it will append that text to the previously copied text.
I realize this could be useful, but I also think that users would be annoyed if it showed the share sheet every time they were only wanting to copy the text.

Awesome. Thanks for the help guys
