I was out caching today, using offline lists, in areas with spotty cell service. The app worked great for 1-1/2 days. Then I got a weird screen when I opened it during a spotty cell service time. A screen shot is attached. I tried everything I could think of including a hard reboot. The app was totally useless. When I returned to a wifi connection, I still could not do anything and all of my offline lists were gone. As a last resort, I deleted the app and reinstalled it. Now I am creating my offline lists again for another caching day tomorrow. Keeping my fingers crossed.

I have a small GPX file in GSAK to mark trailheads in our city. I imported this into Cachly, it shows the "caches" on the map, I can mark them as found (saving as a draft), and the icon on the map gets a check mark signifying the find. This will work out fine to get through the event day, allowing me to plan an efficient route to the caches. I can always straighten everything out once the caches are actually published. And maybe, groundspeak will accept the find if I have the correct GC number entered in Cachly.
-
No GPX file is involved with the Garmin for those folks keying them in, one at a time. Someone with an Oregon (touchscreen) can do it pretty darn fast.
But Team DEMP did remind me of something. I have seen the occasional person bring their laptop to an event, create the caches within GSAK, then export it to their Garmin. I could do something similar, but send the GPX to dropbox and then import it into Cachly. I will do some experimenting to see how Cachly handles caches with bogus GC numbers.
-
When attending some small events, the CO will distribute a printed list of a few new caches (10-20) that will not be published until the following day. The list is usually limited to the GC code and coordinates. Folks with Garmins create new waypoints. Geosphere users create new caches in a database. I need to develop a Cachly workflow to handle this situation. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks to everyone for the responses. I am a long time Geosphere user, have been evaluating Cachly off and on for a year, and made the final switchover to Cachly with the 3.0.1 release. I'm looking forward to receiving 3.0.2 and trying some large offline lists.

I was just drafting a post to say the same thing!
1 - Create an offline list and call it TEST.
2 - Go to Live view, select a cache, select ..., select "Add to Offline List", and select "TEST".
3 - Return to Offline Lists, select TEST, select the newly added cache, and select ... ; At this point, there is NOT an option to "View on geocaching.com"
4 - But there is an option to "Refresh", so select that one. Sometimes, there is still NOT an option to "View on geocaching.com"
5 - Select "Refresh" a second time. Now the option to "View on geocaching.com" appears.
-
I tried deleting and reinstalling Cachly but that did not fix the problem.
I have two offline lists:
1 - source data from GSAK export
2 - source data from a Live cache
-

I normally cache with an offline list. Occasionally, I want to view the cache on geocaching.com in Safari for more information, such as, old logs. Is there a way to go directly to Safari through the offline list?

I experienced the same behavior with a GSAK gpx file
-
From Cachly, I exported the GPX file of a cache that included child waypoints. I then imported that file into GSAK. No child waypoints appeared with the cache.

Please use the Contact Support option in Cachly and attach them to that email. Thank you!
Done

I am using version 2.0.3(4). I created an example gpx file with two caches but I am unsure how to send it.
-
I keep my Found caches in GSAK. I exported them to a GPX and then imported into Cachly. I experienced the following problems with the import.
- Personal cache notes. Cachly did not import them at all but I know the data is there. Geosphere picks it up.
- Favorite point count. Cachly did not import the information but I know the data is there. Geosphere picks it up.
- Additional personally created waypoints. Cachly imported the first waypoint but no more. My test case had 12 additional waypoints.
Pardon me if I am duplicating some previously found issues.
-
The large file contains all the caches within Missouri. I really do not need them all to load into the map but just a much smaller number within a radius of my location. Thanks for your efforts.
-
I loaded a gpx file containing 13,850 caches. I then selected the data in the offline mode. Cachly attempted to open the map and then crashed after about a minute, without opening the map. Is there a size limit for gpx files?
-
Scenario:
- I create a find log and upload as a field note
- The Icon on the live cache map adds a “check”
- The record on the live cache list adds a “check”
- On geocaching.com, I delete the field note instead of creating a found log.
How do I clear the “check” on the live Cachly data?
-
Thank you. I am looking forward to version 2.0
-
I must have done something wrong on the first try.. I just sent it again. Sorry.
-
Sent the file. Thanks for the prompt reply.

I created several waypoints for a geocache in GSAK and exported the gpx file. I then imported the gpx file into Cachly and the additional waypoints do not appear. When I imported the same file into three other phone applications plus my Garmin 62s, the additional waypoints appeared. Any ideas on what is causing the problem?
Offline Lists Gone

I have been using offline lists successfully for several days. Today, I opened Cachly, the phone displayed the Cachly logo screen for about ten seconds then closed the app. I opened Cachly again, selected offline lists and all of my lists were gone. I did a hard reboot but there was no change.
Can I recover the lists or do I have to rebuild them?
