  1. Refreshing just the Personal Note in  an offline list doesn’t trigger a database save:

    1. Go into an offline list
    2. Select a cache which has already been saved offline
    3. Tap to go into main overview screen
    4. Go into Personal Note
    5. Record what’s shown there
    6. Tap back to map screen
    7. On geocaching.com, edit the Personal Note
    8. Back in Cachly, tap on the cache
    9. Tap to go into main overview screen
    10. Go into Personal Note
    11. It’s the old info as expected
    12. Go back a screen to main overview
    13. Pull down to refresh
    14. Go into Personal Note
    15. New info as expected
    16. Tap back to main map screen
    17. Go back into cache
    18. Tap into Personal Note
    19. Old Personal Note is shown

    Can work around this by making a small change to the Personal Note after step 15

  2. 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?

    1. I checked that the notes of an already existing offline cache and the notes on the website were the same
    2. I edited the notes on the website to add a line
    3. I created a new pocket query which included that cache
    4. I downloaded the pocket query, through the '…more' tab, into a new list
    5. The notes weren't updated
    6. I dragged the cache page down to force a refresh, and the notes were updated

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

    1. have a bunch of caches loaded
    2. tap one
    3. tap the info box
    4. tap the cache code to copy it
    5. back out
    6. tap somewhere else on the map to dismiss the info box
    7. move the map so the just selected cache is off the screen
    8. zoom in
    9. paste the cache code into the search box and hit search
    10. 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.

  5. 7 hours ago, Team DEMP said:

    A check mark can also show on a cache that was not sent now, so not necessarily a draft. 

    If you tap More on the bottom right off the main screen, a couple options down do you see Online Drafts ? Does that help with what you are looking for? 

    Looking for a way to filter the newly found caches after going on to geocaching.com and submitting the draft logs — turning them into actual finds.

  6. I haven't figured out the pattern, but Cachly is unpredictable when searching a list of caches.

    I usually search on the GC code, and the results can be:

    1. Live map scrolls to cache, and label is popped up — the ideal response
    2. or Live map ignores search

    Or

    1. Offline map doesn't scroll to the searched cache, but does reduce the caches down to just the searched cache (without popping label up)
  7. I use Cachly for both logging caches and navigating.  It can be a nuisance having the screen blocked for the time it takes to submit an online (draft) log — when slow it's anywhere from 5 seconds to a minute if the cell connection is bad (or about to time out).

    Would be handy if Cachly could do this in the background.

  8. If I open up Cachly again after moving location, say 50 km, then hit the current location arrow, Cachly will sometimes do a slow wander around the map until finally arriving at the current location — it can take 5+ seconds.  I think this is new in the last few updates.  Pretty sure the phone has got my new location before then, so would rather Cachly jumped straight to my current location :]

    Offline maps, latest Cachly and iOS.
