    I dithered on my opinions on this one earlier. Having hiked for a 54 stage multi yesterday, I keenly felt the inability to spot other caches along the way to the next waypoint. Overall map view did not show the next waypoint of the multi and what opportunities might lie along the way. Getting back to the original multi to plot the current waypoint after diverting to find a nearby cache was not easy. 

    I think what would have served is

    • a setting on global map view to you show all waypoints
    • a way to highlight a waypoint so I could spot the currently sought one quickly in map view with context about what was nearby on the way to it. This suggests waypoints could have a small set of associated data like highlight and a note field to record info for multi step field puzzles
    • Better coupling of a displayed Waypoint to its cache. E.g. Option on Waypoint press to open the waypoints screen of the parent to see it and other waypoints. I should be able to get from a waypoint to the parent Cache to do things like see the description, hint, etc. This becomes more important with all waypoints shown on map as it also helps to determine the cache the WP belongs to. 

    Sorry if this wandered off off into a longish list of Waypoint features but each step seemed to open up further needs. 

     

     

    Better handling of multi caches and their waypoints is my most wanted feature. Your suggestions would be a dream come true :)

  2. Recently I started to use the saved locations feature and it is really very useful.

    It would be very nice if the saved locations would be shown on the map when loading an offline list.
    Currently the locations are shown after I saved them, but when I switch from one offline list to another the saved location pins are gone.
    I have to select a saved location to see it, but I only see one at a time and nothing else.
    With all saved locations visible on the offline map, I could easily see all my markers for hotels, restaurants and bars while caching ;)

    Best regards

  3. Sorry, I wasn't clear enough. What I meant is the number of found caches after doing a Live search. So that for example I know how many caches I have in my search result, especially when pushing the 'load more' button over and over again.

    This number would be the same as the one that is shown when saving the search result to an offline list. When choosing to download Lite or Full cache data, I see the number of caches that will be stored to the offline list.

  4. Hi Nic

    I would be great if the waypoint details (description) would be visible in the 'Navigate to Cache' mode.
    This cache for example has the following waypoints with a task you have to solve at each waypoint (counting things in this case):

    But in the 'Navigate to Cache' mode I can't see what I have to do at a certain waypoint, e.g. 'Stage 1':

    IMG_1463.thumb.PNG.97cf0bb64dcca3882a822d829197c0dd.PNG

     

    So I have to switch back to the cache detail page and lookup the task of the waypoint.
    Seeing the waypoint description directly in the 'Navigate to Cache' mode would be much easier :)

    And the killer feature would be that I could see the waypoints not only in the 'Navigate to Cache' mode, but already in the normal map view of an offline list (switchable on/off).
    With this feature I could see on the map if I walk past a waypoint of a multi cache where I have to do something, while going to get a traditional cache ;)
    Or even planning the optimal route to solve several multis at the same time ;)

    Thanks for your great work and best regards

  5. 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!

  6. Hi

    It would be nice if there would be a 'Cancel' button on the 'Cache Note' edit page.
    Sometimes I don't want to save my changes that I did to the cache notes.
    Maybe also a 'Save'button instead of the back arrow would make it clear, that the text will be saved/changed and it's not just a back navigation.

    Thanks, Michael
