HoochDog Posted July 7, 2021 Report Share Posted July 7, 2021 Is there a way to see offline caches on the live map? This would be very helpful for planning cache placements. I can only see how to view offline caches or live caches. Would love to see my offline caches on the live map. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Hubbard Posted July 7, 2021 Report Share Posted July 7, 2021 Live and offline are two separate sections of Cachly. You can save any live caches into an offline list and see those on the offline map. Can you explain your specific situation and maybe we can help you solve it in another way.

HoochDog Posted July 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2021 I find the radius circles a valuable tool when planning cache placements in a somewhat dense cache area. I've done what you said and have created offline caches that reflect the positions of the live caches, but it is tedious. I can add a marker to the live map and click "save location" but that doesn't draw the perimeter radius around it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Hubbard Posted July 7, 2021 Report Share Posted July 7, 2021 If you can use the "Save Offline Geocache" option and create a traditional cache. This will then be able to draw a radius around it, and you can move it if needed. Hopefully this could be useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is useful to a degree, but to show current and planned hides, with circles, on the same map... I have to create an offline version of every live cache in the area. Thats a lot of typing. Another alternative that I've been doing to see both on the same map is... instead of creating offline geocaches, I update the solved coordinates of puzzle caches in some random state I may never visit with my desired coordinates. When I refresh the map, these "solved" caches show up on the map where I want them to be, along-side the live caches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brudderman Posted July 7, 2021 Report Share Posted July 7, 2021 I save all of the live caches (with corrected coordinates) in an area where I’m trying to do a tight placement into an offline list, not one at a time, but as a group. If there are caches in the group that won’t be needed, they are easily and quickly deleted. Then with the cache radius turned on, I create individual offline caches in the desired “empty” spots and fine tune them when I’m in the field. This has worked very well and has allowed me to find good spots with just as little as a foot to spare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know that you could bulk add the displayed list of live caches to an offline map. This is perfect. I appreciate you pointing me in the right direction.
