    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.

    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.

    barefootguru reacted to bloodycool in Cachly 2.1 and map clustering input needed   
    I am also not at all a fan of clustering, but if you have thousands of caches in a list, I think that is completely reasonable. If all else, you can created another smaller list. I keep a list of around 1,000 of the caches nearest to my home, but I can't even imagine a 10k or 20k cache list. 
    I think what you have proposed is very reasonable, though I wouldn't want offline lists to load up in list mode unless they were over 1000 caches (or maybe the user can set the default behavior). As noted above, I keep an offline list of the nearest 1,000 caches and that is how I do most of my local caching. It would be annoying to have an extra step of switching from list to map view every time I use my offline list, which is 90% of the time.
    As always, fantastic job on the app and the updates. I introduced it to a couple more people at a recent geocaching event, and bought it for another friend for their birthday.

    Posting this for more discussion. Thoughts?

    P.S., this is starting to grow on me...

    I like the idea of changing the DNF to a blue dot… I realise Cachly is using traffic-light colours, but I can never remember what shade of red represents what log.

    I too would appreciate a download icon instead of an arrow… that screens looks similar enough to Offline Lists that I sometimes mistakenly tap a query.  Then have to wait and delete the duplicate download.

    Your right, looks like in Preview mode it isn't scrolling. Will get this fixed.

    Agree. I will get this fixed in our upcoming version.

    Ah, well spotted.  I have that option turned off because I can't handle the main map being zoomed and moved out of my control.
    But I'd expect looking at a COs subset of caches — not on the main map — would zoom and scroll automatically regardless… in the same way as first going into an offline list.  Can't think of a reason not to?

    Never mind, I found it… My Hides were excluded under Search Options — assumed those options only affected searching, not the live map in general.

    barefootguru got a reaction from Nic Hubbard in How to download the offline maps?   
    @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.

    barefootguru got a reaction from ElectroQTed in Open cache in Safari by default   
    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

    barefootguru reacted to Ketil in Open cache from pending logs   
    Hi,
    Thanks for creating the best geocaching app out there.
    I often save finds while in the field, and then compose and submit the logs when I get home.
    What would really be a good feature for this workflow, is the ability to return to the cache listing from the pending log view.
    Today, I have to search for the cache ID to find it, which is a bit cumbersome.
    I typically do this to read through the description to get input on my log, and for mysteries I like to have a look at my cache notes to see when I solved it, etc.
    Kind regards,
    Ketil

    This is a great feature request, and something I have wanted to add for a while.

    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)

    barefootguru got a reaction from Nic Hubbard in Caches confused after a find   
    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

    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?

    Done! I fixed this in a few other places as well.
    Once place I didn't change it is where we use Google Translate. In this case I think it works well to not have to open Safari.
