  1. That looks identical to exporting pending logs at the mo:

    GC3QF9Z,2018-06-01T23:57Z,Found it,"Blatant location led to instant find"

    (Ignore double spacing, that’s just the forum)

    Under Pending Logs, tap the … then Export .txt File.

    (I use this as a temporary backup to iOS Notes)

    My main goal is to get a field notes, not a log entry into GSAK.  I do all of my caching offline and I prefer  to write my log entries when I get home where I have a big screen and keyboard on my desktop computer

    This sounds like what the newish gc.com drafts are for:  upload a draft log from Cachly, edit on gc.com, then submit it.

  3. Hi guys, when you’ve run the My Finds PQ, you can open the e-mail on your iDevice, open the download in Safari, then open that in Cachly.

    There is a wiki page which says that, but I can’t find it again now.  But under the wiki pages ‘How Tos’ and ‘More Tab’, it says this process is more complicated and suggests Dropbox.

    Will leave someone else to fix, requires more time than I have B)

  4. I tapped the screen and ‘added’ a few caches to an offline list, making them Wherigo and Lab caches (to stand out).

    I exported the list over Airdrop to my other device, and imported them to a new offline list.

    The downloaded Trads and Mystery came over fine, but the other caches types — the added caches — have come across as black pins on the map, and black with a question mark if I tap into them.  If I look at Additional Info there’s nothing against Type.

    The GC code, name, & coords came across fine, just the cache type has gone missing.

    Cachly 4.2.1 & iOS 11.3.1 on both devices.

    I brute forced one playing around by turning the pin into a cache.  However, I had to give it a name, GC number, type, difficulty, terrain, size . . .

    Only 3 fields are compulsory when creating your own cache:  name, code, and type.

    I suggest starting the code with something other than GC to keep it seperate.

  6. My access token must have expired whilst using Cachly.

    • when swiping left on a pending log to view the cache, Cachly just kept the spinning wait symbol on the screen
    • when searching for a GC code on the Live screen, Cachly said it wasn't found

    I put this down to intermittent site issues, finished my draft logs, and submitted them.  With no errors they disappeared from the Pending logs as usual.  But Cachly ate them when (presumably) GC.com rejected them.  Now I have no logs on the site and none in Cachly :angry:

  7. I just hit the GPX file button for GC3PKD6, and checked a hex dump of the latest log entry (by bruzie).

            <groundspeak:log id="754128042">
              <groundspeak:date>2018-03-27T19:00:00Z</groundspeak:date>
              <groundspeak:type>Found it</groundspeak:type>
              <groundspeak:finder id="6636635">bruzie</groundspeak:finder>
              <groundspeak:text encoded="False">A big day over in the Wairarapa today, picking up a few A-Z caches and as many 2:2 caches as I could, plus attempting to clear the Planetary Pursuit challenge in one day.
    
    This was the reason for heading up this road, my second-to-last find on the level 2 caches. The cache was a quick find and still nice and safe. Now to carry on up the road a little bit further. TFTC</groundspeak:text>

    And just to be clear...  I don't see the "<BR/>" in the log as displayed in Cachly, it appears to ignore them and all the fields run together.

    I was suggesting using LF characters (0x0A) instead of <br/>, as that's the norm for GPX files, and Cachly will honour the line breaks.

  9. FWIW I also strike this every month or so.  The most recent log seemed to lose the data as soon as I saved the pending log.  I don’t use templates but have a default Found It and often insert owner name as a keyword.

  10. Cachly is slow at rendering the offline maps, and Nik says this is hard to speed up.

    If possible, I think it would help to:

    1. prioritise rendering around the current location
    2. when zooming in, don't clear the map — instead do a crude zoom on the current bitmap while the higher zoom renders in the background
    3. display layers as they're rendered, rather than wait for them all to finish.  You could e.g. prioritise tracks over playgrounds.

    Thanks!
