    barefootguru got a reaction from Nic Hubbard in Map of user hides defaults to ocean   
    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 AnyMules 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?

    Looks good thanks Nic.  Yes, it started as half cable half funicular, and is now full funicular but retained the name

    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.

    barefootguru got a reaction from Nic Hubbard in Remember state when quitting   
    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

    barefootguru reacted to Nic Hubbard in Pocket Queries to Offline list   
    Downloading PQs don't have any options because it will automatically download "Full" caches which do not count toward the users daily download count. So that is a good thing. 
    In 2.0.1 it will also automatically download images, but there will be a new option in Settings to turn that off if you don't want that to happen.

    The green dot shows the list that is currently loaded into memory. This can help speed things up if you have a huge list and you want to navigate away and then return to it.

    barefootguru got a reaction from Nic Hubbard in Map tile caching problem   
    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.

    barefootguru got a reaction from Nic Hubbard in Pocket Queries to Offline list   
    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?
