  1. When logs are sent to geocaching.com they get the time and date that are in Seattle.

    For an example, if i log a cache (log or send a fieldnote) 2016-09-10 04:00 am it will be logged as if I found it at 2016-09-09 08:00 pm and if I log a cache at 2016-09-10 08:00 am it will be logged as if I found it at 2016-09-10 00:00 am (since I'm in Sweden and it's 8 hours difference between our and Seattles time zone).
    The workaround for this is to manually add 8 hours to every log. But this is quite annoying and easy to forget. 

    This is an issue for all geocaching apps out there (even Groundspeaks own apps), the only app that has this working is Geocaching with Geosphere.

    It would be nice if Cachly (when the logs are sent to geocaching.com) would compare the iPhones/iPads timezone to Seattle and then automatically add the hours that differ.

    When a friend and I tried to figure this out and reverse engineer Geocaching with Geosphere we have come to the conclusion that Geosphere saves the time and date that the iPhone has so if you save your fieldnotes to a GPX-file the time and dates are correct, but if you send the logs to geocaching.com it automatically adds the hours that differ.

    I hope you understand what I mean, otherwise I will try to explain it better. :)
