Hello Nic
I am always disappointed with the speed of loading the offline maps. That's why I made two comparison videos: 
Video 1 shows the offline map of Switzerland
Video 2 shows the same online OSM map
As you can see, loading the offline map takes much longer than loading the same online OSM map! 
My setup:
- iPhone 6 / 64GB, iOS 11.2.5 connected to WLAN
- Cachly 4.0.1 / Location/Maps: Switzerland
Why is the offline map so slow? When you're out in the field, it feels like forever... The main reason for me to use the offline map is that small ways are better visible.

This is painfully slow.
I am rewriting the entire interface and background downloading for updating caches. This will be in the next beta.
I tested updating 1,000 full caches and got the following:
Basic Update: 3.8 seconds
Full Update: 39.8 seconds
It has been a while since I revisited the old code that is currently downloading/updating caches so it was time for a rewrite.

FWIW I'm experiencing the same slower time downloading PQs.  I update my iPad — still on previous version, and iPhone — on latest version, at the same time, so it's not a network issue.  The 2 devices used to take about the same time, the iPhone is now significantly slower (twice as long?)

Thanks. This is something that we have on the list for a future version.

I am very particular with how things look and are designed in Cachly so I am not sure I would like that...
This is on my list to think about.

In beta 11 Filters that use the text type "Matches" now support regex.

A new Inverse option will be available for all non-boolean filters in the next beta.
Thanks for the suggestion, when building and testing this I realize how powerful it is!

@ACME WildCachers The special My Finds PQ always includes your own log(s)… and no others.
AFAIK Cachly merges/combines the log entries when refreshing.

I can understand Cachly's desire to not assume/rely on non-standard fields to contain unstructured data that individuals want to be interpreted as structured data, especially when it's specific to a 3rd party site. 

That is for Xamarin and not for native iOS dev, however that did lead me to this:
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/mapkit/mkscaleview/2890254-scalevisibility
That should allow for always showing it.
Thanks everyone for bringing this up, will get it fixed.

It is frustrating that Apple changed it and isn't something that I can force to show on the screen always.

Thanks for reporting, will look into it.

I usually work with offline maps, which means I can only see a single country.
If I go into the Trackables screen and select View Travels, most of the map is blank, and you have to switch back to Live/Offline screen to change it.
Would be handy if View Travels map had the same map selection icon in the bottom right as the Live/Offline screens.

Yes - 20 requests in 60 seconds with each request covering 50 caches. That means 1000 caches per minute and then it needs to pause 1 minute before it can start the next batch. So with 10,000 caches it would be:
Min 1 - 1000
Min 2 - Pause
Min 3 - 2000
Min 4 - Pause
Min 5 - 3000
Min 6 - Pause
...
Min 17 - 9000
Min 18 - Pause
Min 19 - 10000
Min 20 - Pause
Min 21 - 11000

Assuming everything goes as planned.

iOS does have a built in magnifying glass for the screen, which works in every app including Cachly.

Good to see you managed this in 3.1 

Yes, this is correct.

Indeed. Groundspeak keeps an accurate date and time of the (three) last retrievals.
For instance, on Saturday, if you download the 1st at 8:00am, the 2nd at 10:30am and the 3rd at 11:45am, 
then you have to wait until Sunday 8am to download one next cache, then you're blocked until 10:30am for the next etc...
 

Is it worth replacing with:
an edit button, or automatically switching from 'browse' to 'edit' when you tap — like in Notes, or an undo/revert button Worried the note could be changed accidentally with no way to undo it.
The first 2 suggestions would also make viewing longer notes easier.
Cheers

Map generation is done manually by me as it is a long process (4 days) for all the maps that we have. Maps were just generated about 2 weeks ago, except France which was just too large and was crashing my server.
I hope to do updates about once a month.

This will be coming in 3.2 when we have tappable coordinates in notes.

I do something similar to what you are suggesting. Combine the PQs. The problem I have with that method is how to identify archived caches so they can be deleted. Takes to long to run an update. 

Ok Nic said it should be the "Date Downloaded" filter. 
So, import PQs to update caches. Filter on Date Downloaded and set prior to date of PQ import. Then either delete the caches in the filter or update them to confirm they are archived and then filter on archived caches to delete. 

I feel that it is import information to have in a prominent location. I will look into reducing the size slightly.
