  1. 1) Multiple "datastores" selectable on the fly. I've been able to mimic this for the most part by doing the "merge list" functionality in the offline section as needed. Historically in Geosphere I had separate PQ's for the various areas I traveled to regularly as well as the ever changing "Solved/Unfound" puzzle datastore. Depending on where I was traveling for the day I could selectively enable the location specific datastore along with the puzzle datastore. I also had a "My Caches" datastore that I would periodically turn on/off as desired. The neat thing about doing this was that I could selectively turn anyone of these on and do a "refresh" to update the logs / cache data on the fly via the "Live" functionality. 2) Multiple customizable log templates. I've heard this discussed on GeoGearHeads a couple of times so I'm waiting patiently. I have standards for FTF, DNF, group caching, etc. As a fellow programmer and caching enthusiast I certainly get the challenges of pleasing the majority to maximize the benefit and really like what I've seen so far was well as the updates I've seen. I'll be honest that for grabbing a few traditionals the app works great and I actually used this in Cananda a couple of weeks back for some spur of the moment caching without issue. But my passion is puzzles and in all honesty was spoiled with the functionality of Geosphere because it worked exactly like I wanted it to and now I'm trying to adopt something new and I'm certainly willing to change but just wanted to at least pose the question about grabbing corrected coords from the GSAK exported GPX file.

  2. I'm one that happens to like puzzles which puts me in a bit of a minority, but at the same time I think it gives a unique perspective to things (the game, software, etc.). I'm also a bit old school as I was around long before geocaching.com added this functionality. 1) When generating a shared PQ / List of caches to send to others I don't always want the corrected coords included. By letting the main site store just the defaults I can generate data from there without worrying about accidently sharing the final coordinates. 2) Keeping them separate allows me to keep all my extensive notes (i.e. more that what I can on the default site) along with the corrected coords in a single spot. 3) When doing geoart series of puzzles it's nice to see the geoart vs. the random pattern of the actual coords. I'm trying to become a convert to Cachly, but honestly this and 2 other features of Geosphere that I used extensively are holding me back a bit. CJ
  3. My corrected coords only exist in GSAK not on the mothership. There are reasons that many avid puzzlers, like myself, avoid putting final coords on the website and choose to store them offline.
  4. Just curious if there are any updates to this? I've been using Cachly as a replacement for Geosphere for sporadic caching and it seems to work well. Now I've started migrating my Solved/Unfound puzzle gpx and am struggling. Im using corrected coords in GSAK and they come into Cachly as the original coords with my GSAK notes. When I do a refresh the GSAK note and coordinates are gone.
