    Bolling reacted to Nic Hubbard in idea for capturing links in groundspeak emails and texts   
    This cannot be changed. Domains that are tied to apps have a small XML file that the server hosts. When an app says that it wants to open URLs in the app instead of the browser, iOS checks that the domain has the special file, and that the app has a special file that ties the two together and shows that that app is the owner. We cannot overwrite this.
    Even if we could I would not feel right about doing so. The ethics of doing that, however convenient, isn't something I would want to do.
    Hopefully iOS will someday allow the option to choose which app you want to open it in.

    Bolling reacted to Team DEMP in Edit logs in app   
    The logging behavior you are looking for is the reason I switched all logging to local Cachly phone drafts and then uploaded as drafts (aka field notes) to the web site. It allows me to edit locally until I upload and then look at the logs on a real computer before I submit them. I was making too many typos and not writing out everything I wanted from my phone and this approach addressed that. Even if I have a full cell signal I still log it locally as a draft and submit it after I'm back home as a draft to the geocaching site.

    I do have this on our list for offline lists. Just need to design how it would look.

    Bolling reacted to ChrisDen in Getting good coordinates for cache placement   
    I must admit I don't average the readings. Walk away and back again numerous times. From that there is one set of coords that appear more than others surrounded by a few that are .001 out. Then there are some that are different by  3 or 4 thousands. Those need to be ignored.
    To me a simple average brings in one's that are obviously incorrect. I would not have this feature as a priority. There are others that are far more useful eggs Status update, delete a cache from all offline lists

    The only issue with this is that it uses "full" caches in order to get that data. For Premium users that isn't too bad since you can load 6,000 full caches per day, but regular users get 3 per day. Also, I wouldn't want to implement this without it being off by default since premium users could pretty quickly use up their caches if they were really exploring around the map.
    We do have this on our list, but these are the major reasons why it hasn't been added yet.

    Bolling reacted to Michael in 'Update Caches' option in offline list view   
    Hi Nic
    I think it would be nice if the options that are available if an offline list has been selected (like 'Update Caches' or 'Download Cache Images') via '...', would also be selectable in the offline list view when you drag the list to the left and select 'Options'. So you wouldn't have to select an offline list and then do something, instead you could do these tasks already in the list view 
    Thanks for your good work!

    That probably is a good idea. 
    Just don't include a video telling us what a cache is.... OK nasty attack on official app.

    Bolling got a reaction from NLBokkie in Should offline lists and pending logs be user specific?   
    UserID might also have fixed the issue with special characters in the username. I imagine it's not an easy programming switch from username to UserID internally but it may be worth it in the long run even if it has to wait until a future version. I suspect only a small subset of users is impacted, but it sounds like for those that are there can be numerous problems.

    Bolling got a reaction from Nic Hubbard in How many caches we can view wichout premium?   
    You can do that but it does take money for them to run the website. Personally, I've been a Premium member since I started caching in 2007 and think it's well worth the price. Of course we all have unique financial situations and priorities.

    Bolling got a reaction from Nic Hubbard in GPS accuracy   
    I did some caching in New York City and Boston least week. Most of the time Cachly seemed quite accurate. At times it was off but there were also times when checking my location on Google Maps could be a block of too.  It still seems to me like more of a phone limitation than a Cachly limitation.

    I did test this by importing into GSAK and then exporting from there and it displays properly. In my case my Offline imports come through GSAK at least 75% of the time, just not in when I first tried this TC import. The GSAK solution works for me, but I realize there may be other TC users who don't use GSAK.

    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.

    Bolling reacted to thebruce0 in Multicaches   
    To expand a bit, Geosphere has the ability to display the proximity circles as an overlay on the map, and it's also set to only show on physical waypoints - posted coordinates for physical cache types, and multi-stage and final waypoints. (reference points, parking/trailhead/virtual etc are not relevant for proximity concerns and so don't show the circle).  It's a very useful feature, especially when planning for cache placement in a busier area.

    Bolling got a reaction from Team DEMP in Find/DNF Count on cache   
    I can almost guarantee you that Nick will reply saying this is a great idea (which it is) but not possible. I doubt it's part of the API because it's not in any app that I know of. In fact there is a current discussion in the GSAK forum where a user is writing a SQL query to get this information from their GSAK database. This wouldn't be necessary if either the GPX file or the API provided this information. 
    While it's possible that I'm wrong I know I won't be wrong about Nick replying because Cachly support is phenomenal as you know.
