Nic Hubbard Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 US English Switch Images Name A few of these I need to also standardize in Cachly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rragan Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 I fixed all instances of toggle to switchand Title to Name. I assume Trackables have names and not titles. There were only uses of Images so nothing to fix. I left Favourite for Chris to handle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use the terminology "hard press" because about 100% of non-technial users have never heard of 3D touch. They will understand pressing hard though.

ChrisDen Posted April 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 On the live map you have the option to "Save to Offline List" and on the Cache Details Page it is "Add to Offline List" Was this deliberate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rragan Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 i believe Save to List creates a list from multiple caches while Add carries the meaning of putting a single cache on a list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
