Hi, I've been experimenting with filters recently… seems like a useful & powerful feature.
- I don't like losing the extra screen real estate when a filter is active… maybe instead of the additional 'Showing x of y' line, it could be 'x/y' and replace the filter icon in the line above?
- it look me a while to find Has Cache Note… searches in other applications would instead combine this under Cache Note to be Logic=Contains, Begins with, Present, Not Present, etc.
-
Currently Cachly only supports 180° screen rotation — the 2 portrait variations.

Base 31. These letters were left out to prevent certain offensive words from ever appearing in the GC code
U might be for that reason, L O I S are easily confused with other letters.
p.s. Interesting thread here https://forums.geocaching.com/GC/index.php?/topic/341449-3-million/

As above it's because Cachly doesn't 'save state' (where it's up to). The more things you do while switched away from Cachly, the greater chance iOS will decide Cachly's memory is needed for something else.
Turning off the phone will definitely do it… and not sure why you would. Apart from the odd buggy app (cough Facebook cough), phone battery usage while asleep is minimal. Check Settings > Battery to see the stats.
-
You may find it's better after rebooting the phone, as that can clear out memory.
-
This happened again today, even without using the bulk upload. As I've been the only person to report, I've just deleted and reinstalled Cachly.

In Settings > Display & Brightness > Text Size you can bump up the slider to make the street names on Apple's map more legible (both the Maps app and Apple Maps option within Cachly). Unfortunately iOS increases the font size everywhere… I'd rather it only increased the tiny fonts.
-
Yeah, Cachly's map and Apple Maps are the 2 worst places for small text for me
It's a workaround, but iOS can show a magnifying glass on the screen:

I've installed GSAK inside Virtual Box (free) as I have a Mac — it's a powerful program, but you do need a reasonable level of geekiness to use it. It runs fine in trial mode if you want/can take that path.
For 300 caches it's probably just as quick to do them manually, though I've found GSAK invaluable for checking the odd challenge cache.

You could probably work around this by doing a 2.5 km radius search on the web site and save all the results to a list and then import the list to Cachly.
Nice idea, but it's 3.2 kilometres (2 miles), and that rule's only been in place since around 2006… so earlier original vs. corrected coords could have a much larger gap.

Hi, if you edit the name of a photo, that photo overwrites the first photo…
- log a cache
- in the message, add a photo from your library, give it a name, hit save
- ditto for a 2nd photo
- now go back into the 2nd photo and edit the name
- the first photo + name will be overwritten by the 2nd photo

Something to keep in mind is the iPhone uses Assisted GPS: if you have a network connection it can take up to 30 seconds to download satellite data before your location can be calculated. Without a network connection this maximum increases to 10+ minutes.

Ah, would not have guessed that. Does it also apply to live search results?
Don't rely on live mode if you're going off the grid: if Cachly is restarted for any reason, maybe iOS decides it's short of memory, you will lose the live data.
-
But the existing caches all have circles, so you just ensure you're outside them?
-
I believe that too, but authentication appears to be a series of web pages, so Cachly could save my password then enter it for me, or enable keychain access on those pages.
-
This is pretty minor
After reauthenticating, Cachly will ignore Automatic Search on Start being turned off, and show the first 50 caches regardless.
-
I've posted in the GS forums the nuisance and decreased security that having to reauthenticate every 90 days represents (https://forums.geocaching.com/GC/index.php?/topic/345370-feature-request-dont-expire-access-token-after-90-days/).
Is there anything Cachly could do to make this less painful…
Maybe save my password and reauthenticate automatically?
or allow me to use Safari's saved password on the GS login screen?
-
I think the number only goes away when Cachly is restarted, at which point it seems to correct itself but also delete any new logs created in the meantime.
It's happened 3 times… it may be related to a log which wouldn't send — a Found against an Event, or poor cellular service.
I've been submitting individual logs and Cachly has been fine. I'll do that for a bit longer and maybe risk a bulk submission again
-
Hi, I save most of my log entries locally (Send Log Now is turned off).
Occasionally in the 3.x versions:
- after (successfully) sending the logs to GS, Cachly still shows a number against Pending Geocache Logs and on the app badge. Maybe only on bulk submission?
- if I continue creating local logs, these will often (always?) disappear into a black hole after a while… maybe after Cachly is relaunched? And the count will then be correct.
Sorry for not having more details, but this is serious and has caught me a couple of times, so wanted to raise it now.

Every new post you change what the issue is.
You said you were on 10.3.1, now you're saying the problems started in 10.3.2 I've used both with no issues.
Nik's replied about 'locking' the navigation screen in a future version of Cachly so accidental touches are ignored.
You've been told how to force a recalibration, but persist in saying it can't be done.
Sounds like your Garmin is the best option for you.
-
If any GPS-using program is left open, the phone will chew through battery at somewhere around 10% an hour.
-
At best, GPS is accurate to 5 m (16 feet), so you need to double that for the original GPS reading + the finder's reading.

Changing filters buggy

Hi, there's some bugs when changing filters:
Maybe because an empty search string shouldn't be allowed?
Similarly:
