Happy to, thanks for investigating!

Yes, this is not normal. How long have you had Cachly installed?
Since a very early version. Is there a fix I can make, or do I have to reinstall?

Still occurs in Cachly 8.

Copy Coordinates: Choose from 3 different formats for copying
Where can I choose the format?

I'm not understanding the issue — you can continue using your existing offline maps in the new version for $0, they just won't receive updates.

What do you show under More > Backups ?
And yes you can delete them.
Published.zip from last month but it’s only 21 Meg and I didn’t create it?

The PQs which stall seem consistent, do we know what the trigger is? i.e. is there a way to change the PQ criteria to work around it?
Hmm, it downloads fine from the website, so I guess that's my workaround.

In More > Usage > Storage there's an item for Backups, which for me is currently 2 GB. What's this used for, and can I delete it? I've had a look around but can't find any info on it.

There’s been some chat on the forums about drafts and pictures

There’s some challenges here which are collecting caches found in different degrees of latitude/longitude. Would be handy if there was a filter to search an offline list for that, e.g. latitude S39 01.xxx, S39 02.xxx (the filter for multis/mysteries should work on the posted coords, not the corrected).

Interesting. Try the old 'halves' trick: create a list with the first 24 and see if that works. Then the second 24. Then keep halving. Alternatively there may be something obvious in one of the notes for the 48.
-
Might be just you I’m afraid. I download PQs of around 800 caches regularly. I have seen that behaviour occasionally. Can you try from a different network? Cachly 7.1.1

If I filter an offline list by a single Date Found By Me, some caches are shown as expected.
But if I add some more Date Found By Me filters, with an Or for them, Cachly drops to zero caches (in this case I have 0 caches on the other dates).
I’m expecting an Or to always add caches?

For that second one I think you've found this.

Refreshing just the Personal Note in an offline list doesn’t trigger a database save:
- Go into an offline list
- Select a cache which has already been saved offline
- Tap to go into main overview screen
- Go into Personal Note
- Record what’s shown there
- Tap back to map screen
- On geocaching.com, edit the Personal Note
- Back in Cachly, tap on the cache
- Tap to go into main overview screen
- Go into Personal Note
- It’s the old info as expected
- Go back a screen to main overview
- Pull down to refresh
- Go into Personal Note
- New info as expected
- Tap back to main map screen
- Go back into cache
- Tap into Personal Note
- Old Personal Note is shown
Can work around this by making a small change to the Personal Note after step 15

Note if you download the caches for an area to an offline list, you can then filter that list by DNF… offline lists have much more powerful filtering.
-
Thanks for confirming. So for PQs I need to download, download images, then update caches — that could be improved in a future release :]
-
Thanks Nic, great to know about the ability to add images.
I've just tested the personal notes and they're definitely not being updated. Maybe because it's an existing offline cache?
- I checked that the notes of an already existing offline cache and the notes on the website were the same
- I edited the notes on the website to add a line
- I created a new pocket query which included that cache
- I downloaded the pocket query, through the '…more' tab, into a new list
- The notes weren't updated
- I dragged the cache page down to force a refresh, and the notes were updated

I regularly update my offline lists with pocket queries. From using Cachly (rather than specific testing), it seems images aren't downloaded and personal notes aren't updated?
This means I need to rely on cell reception if I want to see images for a cache in an offline list, and personal notes can be out of date.
-
Would love to see Cachly support CarPlay. While I usually tell Cachly to use Apple Maps to navigate, it would be great to also be able to show the Cachly map with caches directly on the car's screen.
Would be useful when gathering a number of caches in an area, rather than setting up Apple Maps to navigate to each one; and also when there's no cellular reception.

Clear map on refresh is off.
Live map issue is inconsistent, but this will sometimes reproduce it. Seems to be related to searching for a cache which is already on the map.
- have a bunch of caches loaded
- tap one
- tap the info box
- tap the cache code to copy it
- back out
- tap somewhere else on the map to dismiss the info box
- move the map so the just selected cache is off the screen
- zoom in
- paste the cache code into the search box and hit search
- map will stay in current position, cache isn't selected
For offline maps, maybe it's working as intended so a feature request? If I search for a cache code or small number of caches, it would make sense for Cachly to scroll the map to the results.

It's not HTML, just '[br]' for a line break. We've needed to use it since geocaching.com stopped rendering the line breaks.
I'm seeing it too, e.g. my GCACD0M Fly like a Pekapeka (Wellington)
