barefootguru got a reaction from Nic Hubbard in Where does Cache Note come from?
Thanks guys. @Nic I'm always careful with the cloud, and GS slightly more than the others So I'm wanting a way to backup the Personal Cache Notes I've created — whether they were created within Cachly or on the site.
I do download PQs from within Cachly, so thanks for confirming that will backup my notes for unfound caches, as they're covered in my existing PQs.
Sounds like I can't use the builtin My Finds PQ GPX download to backup notes for caches I've found though… I'll have to write my own PQs?

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/

barefootguru got a reaction from Necro in Problems with waypoints
V3 is misbehaving for me with waypoints:
waypoints are duplicated numerous times in offline lists: first image shows the offline waypoints, 2nd the live. can't delete a waypoint… possibly because it's duplicated: see 3rd and 4th images. Cachly seems to be overriding my waypoint name if it's corrected now? Maybe not let the user edit the title, or overwrite the title so it's obvious? Cachly 3.0.1

barefootguru reacted to Team DEMP in DT Loop Filter
Nic - Not sure of your GC profile so I used rragan (congrats on find #5000) as that should work for you and look the same for me when I describe it. Regarding this specific thread, I'm not interested in it being handled in Cachly but wanted to explain this.
If you go to https://www.geocaching.com/p/default.aspx?guid=744a4c8e-9c58-4e68-bb57-62576570320a&tab=stats#profilepanel you should see rragan's profile & stats. When you view this page, scroll down to the Difficulty / Terrain grid which is 9x9. A goal is to fill the grid out by finding at least 1 of each of the 81 squares that cover every combination of difficulty/terrain ratings.
The grid shows the # of caches found in each combination. Completing the "challenge" would show at least 1 cache in each square. "Looping" is finding all 81 x2, x3, x4, etc. If you look at the grid for rragan when I posted this response, you'd see that each square has at least a 2 in it, so he's found all 81 twice. To find all 81 x3, he'd need to log another cache in every square D/T combination that currently shows a 2.
You can easily see the next "loop" but what was requested in the initial post is to look beyond the next loop and look at ones that are in loop+1 & loop+2.

barefootguru got a reaction from ChrisDen in GPS not working when phone has No Service
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.

barefootguru got a reaction from Nic Hubbard in Radius circle on current position marker
But the existing caches all have circles, so you just ensure you're outside them?

barefootguru reacted to Nic Hubbard in Waypoints
They just don't show up on geocaching.com. Wish they did!

barefootguru reacted to Nic Hubbard in Current location indicator not hidden behind caches
Will put in a fix for this.

Would find it handy to be able to download a low-res map of the entire world.

barefootguru reacted to Nic Hubbard in Complete Offline Content
Currently the images that are in the body of a description are not saved offline. It would take a bit of work to support this feature but we do have it on our list.

barefootguru reacted to Nic Hubbard in Beware of the fake
I have reported this to Apple legal. Let's see if anything happens. We do have a trademark on the word Cachly so they should at least force this developer to change the name.

barefootguru reacted to Nic Hubbard in Log icons on map popup
I do have this on our list for offline lists. Just need to design how it would look.

barefootguru reacted to Nic Hubbard in Use coords from log
The feature that @rragan mentioned will be coming but not in 3.0. Hoping I can get it added in 3.0.1.

barefootguru got a reaction from Nic Hubbard in I Phone Compass Calibration
Apparently you can force a recalibration by turning Location Services off & on. https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/257005/how-to-see-compass-accuracy-and-recalibrate-the-compass-in-ios-10

barefootguru got a reaction from ChrisDen in Download of Pocket Queries/Offline lists
The date might be the PQ date… whenever I download a new PQ it always goes to the top of the Offline list (as Nik says).
Tap Edit to arrange them in your desired order.

barefootguru reacted to Nic Hubbard in User waypoints
Yes, you can use iTunes and save the entire SQLite database (actually all three sqlite files) to your computer. Then hook up a different device and this time use the "Add to" option in iTunes and you can overwrite the database on your other device. I tested this and it works great.

barefootguru got a reaction from Nic Hubbard in Change to API
I'm in New Zealand and my Cachly logs now default to the correct day, instead of lagging a day if submitted before 19:00 (Cachly date correction is turned off).
Feels like GS is going in the wrong direction by removing what little timezone support (UTC) they did have.
Be interesting to see if they handle finds around midnight now and during daylight savings correctly.

barefootguru got a reaction from Nic Hubbard in Should offline lists and pending logs be user specific?
If Cachly had a shared database then if you logged in as a different user you'd see somebody else's data, which seems wrong.
I'm guessing Groundspeak won't let you access an internal ID which doesn't change?
So I think the existing behaviour is correct.
If there's no data when starting the app, you could display a dialog saying data needs to be downloaded, including if you've renamed your username?

barefootguru got a reaction from Nic Hubbard in Geosphere user trying Cachly
Welcome to Cachly
Having a line linking your position and the destination makes sense to me, and I've seen it used in other (non-caching) navigation apps.
You can always just back out to the main map screen and do your own navigation from there.

barefootguru got a reaction from raritan in Missing caches?
Just look at the subscription as paying Groundspeak to host the cache database, and ignore their atrocious app and questionable website design

barefootguru reacted to rragan in Support URL scheme
Minor correction. Testing shows it only works if you omit the question mark before gccode keyword.
-
barefootguru reacted to Nic Hubbard in Support URL scheme
Cachly does have basic URL scheme support:
cachly:// Opens the app
cachly://?gccode=<code> to open a specific cache
Adding more is for sure on our radar.

barefootguru reacted to Nic Hubbard in Pins or similar for all pending clues
I have considered using iCloud for features like this. They would be synced across all devices that use your iCloud account (if you login to iCloud).
However, this would likely be a 2.2 or 3.0 feature.
