Hi, Cachly doesn't seem to display my hides on the Live map?

@Starsqual the reason for this change — and simplification — is that Cachly now downloads vector-based maps rather than 'tiles'. This means an entire state or country is the same size map download as a single caching area previously. So if your caching is in a single state/country you download once and forget about it.

Some COs think it's clever to have 2 multi/mystery caches at the same given coords on the map, meaning you can only see one pin. It would be handy if Cachly could offset the 2 (or more) pins if they're at the same spot on the map… maybe by rotating the pin so the pointer was still at the same location.

It's not high on my list, but would be nice to see at least **bold** & *italic* Markdown displayed as bold & italic in log entries. https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=739

Cachly could display the radius if a letterbox has corrected coordinates then (same as mystery and multi)… does that work?

Running as a native iPad app — rather than 2× mode — has been in a few threads, but creating this separate feature request so it can be voted on. Would be great if Cachly could take advantage of the large screen, including both rotations. (And eventually split screen)

Saving offline didn't trigger the bug today. The other actions I regularly do are to insert the Owner Name keyword, and after submitting going back to other logs before completely backing out of the cache. I regularly switch between live caches and an offline list. Still working on finding a consistent trigger

It's not completely clear, but it sounds like having clues from the posted coords to the final is allowed… as long as you supply actual coords with the clues: https://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx God knows how reviewers handle proximity for them. Sounds like would be misleading for Cachly to both display and not display a radius, and probably best / less wrong to leave as is.

All the letterbox caches down here are at the given coords, and from my Google (well, DuckDuckGo), that's always the case: you can go directly to the cache from the coords on geocaching.com, or from the clues provided on a letterboxing site. http://forums.groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=153242

Possibly related to saving the log entry offline.

Cachly doesn't display the radius around letterbox caches. I can understand not displaying the radius around the original coords of mysteries, etc., but aren't letterboxes always at the given location and subject to proximity rules?

Looks good thanks Nic. Yes, it started as half cable half funicular, and is now full funicular but retained the name https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wellington_Cable_Car

Just noticed our cable car tracks are missing (New Zealand): OSM shows them but not Cachly. This is halfway between 2 stations: S41 17.115 E174 46.109

I work around it by randomly tapping on 1 or 2 other caches, then it'll fix the incorrect one.

Ooh, that's nice, it makes walking tracks really pop. Might be worth making play areas more green than aqua, as blue implies water — see screenshot with lake on left and play area on right. I'd like to see contour lines, but realise that could make the map too busy.

I haven't worked out an exact trigger, but Cachly sometimes duplicates the just logged cache to a nearby cache. It's something like: Go into a cache Log it Back out to map Tap next cache, and it will display the name from the just logged one. Sometimes it'll have a smiley too. V1.x and 2.0

Normally it's iOS doing it, that was a test case. Good to hear it's on the list

Wow, thanks Nic!

Hi, currently when looking at a cache and selecting ‘View on geocaching.com’, the page appears in a portal inside Cachly and it's another step to open in Safari. The reason for wanting to view on the GS site, is to get the full power of both the site and Safari. Maybe most people, or Nic, appreciate the current behaviour; but on the chance they're all silently suffering like me, thought I'd post this

Hi, currently when iOS quits Cachly, I lose what I've been looking at. e.g. go into an offline list, look at the caches on the map, then double-click the home button and swipe Cachly up. When relaunching Cachly, it will show the Live view and it's forgotten what list I was looking at. My feature request is Cachly remember what I was doing

Happy that it will be an option so I can stick with the current behaviour Then I can carry on seeing the date lag a day, but know the data's correct. And sticking with the default — and popular — behaviour means better chance of GS respecting the data if they ever fix the issue.

I investigated this a few months ago: By downloading a GPX file of my finds, I could see both Cachly and the official app end up with the correct timestamp in the logs, represented as 'Z'ulu (UTC) time. Finds logged through the website are also stored as Zulu time, but the time portion is always noon PST/PDT, so 2016-02-07T20:00:00Z / 2016-06-22T19:00:00Z So given Cachly's current setup is correctly recording the time, I'm reluctant to see it changed…

That sounds like a painful and unreliable way to get a map for offline use! I think you've got it, there's 2 steps: 1. you tell Cachly to download (& save) the OSM map. You only need to do this step once, and thanks to being a vector map you can download an entire state/country. 2. you can then switch to & from that offline map just like any other map. I usually leave the offline map selected: it's faster and saves data if I'm on cellular. I occasionally switch if I want to check satellite pics or see if another provider has better topography — if I have an Internet connection of course.

Thanks, but there's a smaller green dot between the list name and arrow.

Hi, in V2 when selecting a Pocket Query, Cachly downloads it to an Offline list… but there's no options associated with this. When downloading (say) Bookmarks, Cachly asks about full/lite/pictures. What gets saved when saving a PQ offline?
