The selection for current or geocache location is part of the waypoint page, and projection is just another option on that same page, so it seems to me that the click box is right where it should be.  

I average around 40 bookmark lists at any given time, but there's only one (1) that I routinely want loaded on Cachly.  I can't think of a reason to have the other 39 lists crowding my Cachly.

Hi. The ability to search for caches based on attributes would be nice. Should be easy to add on. 

You can do that in offline lists, but I don't think it's available in live view.  

I'm curious.  Can one even refresh 11,000 caches without exceeding the daily API limit and/or crashing?

Worked for me. Download and saved GPX to Dropbox. Import into new list. 

 

It worked for me, too.  I'm glad to know Cachly works with lab caches.   Thanks.

I don't often use it but it seemed to work for me. I just tried it again and opened an offline list, highlighted a couple of caches, went to live view, went back to the list and they were still highlighted. I closed cachly and relaunched Cachly, selected the offline list and the caches still retained highlighting. I opened a cache, refreshed it from the live view and it still maintained the highlight. 

Is this reproducible?

I just tried it and it appears to work now.  My previous attempts to use highlights were several versions ago (2.x something) when I had problems.  I've just marked some for this weekend and will try it out.  Thanks.

Select the area I am going to and generate a GPX of the caches that cover the gaps. Import to Cachly and highlight them all.

 

I've never had any luck with the highlight feature.  The highlights always disappeared the next time I opened Cachly.  (I don't use GSAK, so if the highlights are only from a GSAK file then maybe that's why.)  On my recent trip, I made a separate offline list called "highlight caches" so I wouldn't miss them.

Personally, this isn't the type of development path I'd prefer to see Cachly take. 

 

I agree.  There are excellent apps and online tools for the specialized stuff, e.g. iCaching and project-gc.  I don't expect, or want, Cachly as the 'be all end all' geocaching app that gets so bloated that its functionality suffers.  I view it as a tool to be used in the field that should reliably perform each time I use it.  All those other fancy schmancy esoteric tasks are homework on a rainy day using a real computer.   For example, I use project-gc to create a gpx file of qualifying caches to complete the second loop of my fizzy grid.  That file now exists as an offline list on Cachly that I can easily reference when on a road trip.  No muss, no fuss.

If you are migrating from Geosphere, it supported importing a GPX file via iTunes. To my knowledge, Cachly does not yet have such a mechanism but it should probably go on the wanted feature list  

I think it does.  In the "more" menu is "Import from iTunes."  It's right below the "Import from Dropbox" option.

Actually, just testing this, deleting PQs form the downloaded section on the website, then refreshing in Cachly correctly removed them from the available list in Cachly.

Yep, that worked.  I should have known to try that.

I am talking about when I go into the geocaching.com pocket query page and delete the PQ and the related file that is normally available for 7 days.  If you delete the file on the second tab (Pocket queries ready for download) it disappears from the list of available files on the web site but does not disappear on cachly or other caching apps.

Oh, I see what you mean.  Yeah, what's up with that?  

A downloaded PQ file doesn't get deleted when you delete the underlying PQ criteria.  The file will be available for six days, then it will disappear from your list on Cachly.

This might be a viable trick to consider. Log the caches with Send Log Now off and Save as Draft on. This will allow you to log everything local stored on your iPhone within Cachly. When done for the day, Cachly with show the number of logs in Pending Geocache Logs and when selected, you can export a txt file to your email. Send that txt file to the others to load as drafts on the geocaching site and they can modify the comments or submit the same logs. 

Excellent!  I wonder how many cachers still post from the website.  I do because I hate typing on a phone.

It has been there for a least a few years.

Well, I can honestly say that I never used that option and the red triangle always showed up when using only the GPX export option…so something's changed somewhere.   

33 minutes ago, Nic Hubbard said:

When you export the GPX file you need to make sure to include extensions, otherwise Cachly has no idea that caches have corrected coordinates because the regular GPX spec does not include this info:

Okay, did that and it works.  Thanks.  Just for the record, for over a year I've only used the GPX option to export files, and it always worked.  Maybe the "with extensions" option is new to iCaching because I don't even recall seeing it before.  Maybe I'm in the Twilight Zone.

I just tested this with an export for iCaching, using GSAK extensions...

I don't even know what that means.  The only time I see anything related to GSAK extensions is when I'm *importing* to iCaching.   I'll email my file to support.

Before the recent update to 3.x I regularly imported (from Dropbox) gpx files created in iCaching that had corrected coords (that were corrected in iCaching).  They used to show up at their final locations with the red triangle.   However, tonight I created a small file of puzzles in iCaching and imported that to Cachly and was surprised that they didn't have the red triangles.  They are on the map in their corrected locations, just no triangles.  

But wait…there's more.  Checking my other offline lists the red triangles have disappeared from those too.   Now I can't tell what's solved and what isn't.  If I refresh the list some triangles appear, but only for those caches with corrected coords online at GC.  

Unfortunately, it doesn't sound like any gpx file is involved; just a printed list with coords and GC #s.   That's like what we had a million years ago.  For that event all I can think of is creating a series of "Saved Locations."  Hmm, can 'saved locations' be sent to other Cachly users?  

edit:  Yes, it looks like saved locations can, indeed, be shared with others.  Cachly users at the event should form a coterie and get a head's up on the others.  LOL

Since the update I've experienced a problem uploading an iCaching gpx file using Dropbox.  The file appears to load correctly and the offline list badge indicates the correct number of caches, but when going to the list there is nothing there.  Returning to the offline lists the badge now reads zero.  However, if I quit Cachly and do a restart all the caches are there as they should be.  

I've loaded a PQ file using Dropbox and the import works correctly, so it must have something to do with the iCaching file.  

Try this:  On the offline list choose a cache, then long press on its coords to copy them.  Then move over to live view and paste those coords into the search bar.  Make sure you're using the search bar option that accepts coords.  It will then search live in that area.  

That being said, I think there's a problem with the search using the format of the pasted coords.  You probably need to delete the comma in the coords, and maybe even the apostrophes.  (I think this gets fixed in 3.0.)

 It seems that Groundspeak fixed things on their end and the date correction is no longer needed.

Well, I'm glad it works somewhere in the world.  It used to work here without correction (in the Pacific Time zone) but drafts created tonight are dated tomorrow on the GC online site.  

Okay, forget what I wrote.  I was only looking at the "Date Visit UTC" which is properly converted to my time zone when I eventually post the draft.   

Just last night I wanted to make a list of archived caches by a specific CO, but the geocaching online search returned zero caches.  However, I used Project-gc to create a list of 44 archived caches without any problem.

What I do for challenge caches which I qualify is I update the posted coord on GC.com with the same coord. GC, Project GC and Cachly treated is corrected coords. This trick shows a triangle in Cachly even though the coords are the original. 

That's exactly what I do with challenge caches, whether I qualify for them or not.  I also add a personal cache note such as "qualified," or some other notation so that I can make a quick decision in the field if I want to stop to search.  BTW, for challenges that I sign the log but don't qualify I add the "write note" URL to the personal cache note for future reference to show that I was there when I eventually get to post a find. 

When viewing caches on the map click the "…" in the upper LEFT corner, then "Save to Offline List."   You can then choose "All Caches," "Visible Caches," or "Highlighted Caches," and add them to an existing offline list or create a new list.
