Themes for offline maps; Move filtered caches; POI support

[ferda-mravenec]

Hello.

While using the app, I am missing some usefull features I was used to on Android platform.

1. Themes for offline vector maps (discussed here: http://www.cach.ly/support/index.php?/topic/915-custom-offline-maps/)
2. Support for moving filtered caches. Now if I apply a filter to a list of caches, there is an option to "Delete Filtered Caches" only. I am used to gather all "Found it" caches in one separate list, so it will be great if there will be an option to "Move Filtered Caches" as well.
3. Support for POI. While travelling, I was creating POIs at some interresting points with a note, a picture etc. Would it be possible to add support for POIs?

Thank you.

This will be available in 4.3.

What did you mean by this?

If you create them, look at Saved Locations or Add Cache.

Something like Saved Locations, but with a bit more features, the features not tied to geocaching only. So I can easily create new List of points and each point will have name, location, note, picture, icon, etc. So I can display them all (or based on filter) within a map. Basicaly they will be GPX waypoints.

Yes. In offline lists you can create caches with all that info with the exception of adding a photo.

I know, but I am not talking about caches. I would like to create a POI without providing Cache code, Placed by username, Difficulty, and so on. Just simple POI without geocaching metadata.

Well, since we already have Saved Locations and creatable offline geocaches, I don't see an additional POI option being created. If anything we would enhance the create geocache option to include images.

You have my vote on this. There's already a good backlog of enhancements that support Geocaching which is the primary function most of us want.

Your own created local cache does not have to have a GCxxx code. Better if it does not.  Otherwise it can have what you need but no picture. Just ignore the GC metadata fields. 

[ferda-mravenec]

@rragan No sir. Have you tried it yourself?

Required fields are: Cache name, cache code, cache type. And this is far from POI not related to Geocaching..

 

@Nic Hubbard In that case, would it be possible to to somehow link Saved locations with offline lists? So I can display them all at once?

What @rragan meant was that you do not have to put GC in the front, you can use anything. The Cache Code is required because that is the key used in the database for that record.

No, they currently are their own object in the database and I don't have plans to allow them to be added under an offline list.

Sorry about that!

Ah, ok. so still have to fill it up. Will try it with my scenario.

  Finger crossed for future, future, future release

Thank for reply.

With local geocaches, saved locations are of little use to me except for the ease of setting them.

Hello.

I know it's an old thread, but want to ask something.

I was out for a geocaching trip today and have struggled a bit with moving caches between lists. I simply found no way ho to:

1) move/copy a single cache into a different offline list.

2) move/copy filtered caches into a different offline list.

I know i've seen this option in the past, but didn't find this option in the current version of Cachly. Am I blind?

Thank you.

1) move/copy a single cache into a different offline list.

You can hard press on the map callout or the cache in list view and it will give you an option to add to another list. Or, if you are viewing the cache details, tap the add to list button on the top right of the screen. It is the second button that has a plus on it:

When viewing the filtered list, tap the ... button and choose "Add to List".

 

Hope this helps.

This will copy the cache only. How to move it?

I see no such a button (I expect it's not the ... button on the bottom panel which navigates to the Cachly's settings):

You cannot. If it exists in another list you cannot move it, it will always be in both lists.

Make sure you are on the Map View:

So the only way how to simulate "move" action is to "copy" to another list and then "delete" from the first one? Hmm, from an user perspective, that is "unexpected". Are you planning to add this "feature"?

Got it. Thanks. Btw, another "unexpected" behavior from an user perspective.

No, not planning to add this feature currently. Add to list copies, it doesn't mean move to list. Possibly in the future.

List view and map view have different contexts. When in list view, the ... button options do not apply, just as when in list view the sort button does not apply to the map.
