  1. Is there any way to filter to show only FTF caches? It might be handy to see caches that haven't been found yet. Thanks
  2. It would be useful to me to have a zoom in, zoom out button something like this:
  3. I was doing a search today and received a pop-up message that said ""The number of calls for allowed for this Method has been exceeded". I estimated I was at 500 to 600 caches when this appeared. I hadn't done many searches, so I don't this I was anywhere near the 10,000 limit. When I checked usage, it sows N/A for available and daily limits. Thoughts?
  4. Just came back from getting my cache and this time I had no issue at all getting a position with Cachly. It worked every time I ran the app in every scenario I tried.
  5. Did you try completely closing the app and then re-opening Cachly, not using the offline map?
  6. In both cases I was moving (in my car). I'll be back in the same area today and will try what ChrisDen said in that Cachly will not get a position when there is no map. I'll bring up the offline map ad see if I get the fix then.
  7. I experienced this today, a couple of times. I was in a no service area when I launched cachly and I could not get a position fix, may would not load (although I have off-line maps of the area). I launched another of-line map app (Pocket Earth) and it gave me my position. Back to cachly and no potion. I tried an offline list, still no position. A few minutes later, I came into cell coverage and bam, cachly gave me my position. Later I went out of cell range (no service) and cachly seemed to give me my position, but cachly had been running in the background. I ended the app and restarted, again, no position. Later I was in poor cell coverage, I launched cachly and I could keep touching the triangle in the lower right corner (localization) and it would not give me a position. I was driving home, still tapping the triangle. When I arrived home as soon as my phone locked onto my home WiFi, bam, I had a position. The one clue I have is it seems to fail when in a poor/no coverage area and you do a fresh launch of cachly. Screen shot 1 and 2 are in the no service/poor service area. Position would not show despite taping the localization button, lower right. Screenshot 3 is when I got in better cell coverage and I was then able to get a position. I'm running an iPhone 6S.
  8. FYI: When opening a cache on the map under my wife's Geocaching basic login, I see log files, but there are no descriptions or hints. However, if I download caches to an offline list, I do get the descriptions (but still no hints).
  9. I managed to hit it the first time playing with the app. I did a single off-line download of 2400 caches. I did lots of live viewing, but only the 2400 downloads. So, what specifically counts towards the "download" count. Here's a couple of things I found by trail and error. My wife is a basic user (apparently a 3 cache limit per day), but I was able download 950 caches to an offline list. I then turned off my phones data (airplane mode) and can see details on every offline cache I looked at, so it appears all 950 were downloaded to the offline list. However, when opening the detail page of a cache, I did notice that the hints were not there and there was a banner above the description indicating it was the basic version and to "tap here to load the full version of the cache". When I tapped there, then the warning that a basic member can only download full details of 3 caches per 24-hour period. My question now is: Basic user: 1) what is the offline list size limits (if any) and; 2) what parts of the cache are not downloaded to the offline list? Example, I know that hints are not downloaded. Thanks again.
  10. Thanks for the helpful replies. I'm a premium member, so looks like there is a 6000 daily limit.What actually counts towards that limit? Is it every cache that shows on the screen resulting from a search? Also, does a non-premium member really have a limit 3 caches a day?
  11. I'm a new cachly user (thank Josh) and so far very impressed. Thanks for your efforts in putting together this app. After playing with it for a bit, I have some questions. Any assistance would be appreciated. Questions: 1). Can I do a search with a given radius? I was trying to do a search that contained all the caches in about a 10 to 15 km radius. I found I had to keep touching the circle/arrow icon at the top right corner to progressively increase the radius, then if it wasn't right, move the map again and start from scratch. 2) Is there a zoom in/out that maintains the center point of the screen (like a +/- feature on many maps). 3) What counts toward my daily cache download limit? I was playing with different searches moving the screen a bit to try to capture the correct area, but before I knew it, I had a pop-up indicating "Error: Cache download limit has been exceeded" 4) What are the 2 orientations of the map when I toggle the "Center on my location" icon on the bottom right? True and magnetic north? Thanks again.
