James reacted to Nic Hubbard in Ability to add a distance radius to a cache/point
You can do this, just turn on the show cache radius setting. Radius will show for physical locations, or if you add a corrected coordinate.

James got a reaction from PlasmaWave in Map refresh
The only reason I still have the main geocaching app on my phone is when planning routes I can pan around on the map and as you pan, the map updates with more geocaches. On Cachly you have to keep refreshing the map to load more. I do know that you can increase the amount visible, but would it be possible to have the map auto-refresh like the geocaching official app does?
Thanks,
James.

James reacted to bearpanda in Automatically update caches on a map
The only thing I like about the official app is that it shows new caches automatically when I move the map. I would like to see this feature in Cachly too (there could be an option in Settings to turn it off if a user still wants to update the map manually)

One of the big differences here is that the official app can load 500 caches on the map at a time, and we have a max of 100. The official app also does not have a daily limit on number of caches loaded, but partner apps do.
Because of these two limitations, I have been hesitant to include this feature. However, I get the request more and more so I am looking into how I can adequately warn the user of the inherent risks when using a live loading map. That being said, I am only investigating the possibility at this point and don't have it planned for a release.
