Option to have 'Hint' shown in *Proximity Alert* notification


RubyShoos

Question

Hi

I'm not sure if this is technically possible, but I wondered if it would be possible to have an option to show the hint in the proximity alert banner notification.

I have recently discovered the joys of proximity alerts, which I have never liked due to the sound. But with the sound off, I can turn off the screen (thus saving battery) and be alerted by a little vibration as I near GZ.

Trouble is, when I get a notification, my work flow goes something like this: unlock phone > go out of navigate mode into the cache page > open hint > read hint > come out of hint > go to navigation mode > find the cache.

Sometimes I add a stage after finding a cache which goes a little like this: select next cache > check hint > navigate to next cache > forget hint, then go through the above steps.

If I could select to show the hint in the proximity alert notification banner, I could have a totally smooth ride to the cache, which went something like this: read hint in notification > unlock phone > go straight to the cache :)

As I say, I'm not sure if it is possible to pull this information into the notification, but if it  was, it would be great!

Thank you every day for the fantastic features Cachly offers.

Just bumping this as it is still seriously on my wishlist :P. v8 has brought the GC code and cache name - I'd happily forgo that info for the hint! :D :D:D

This was actually very easy to add, so it will be included in the next small update.

I cannot express how happy today’s update has made me!! It is utterly brilliant and worth this year’s subscription for the ‘hint in notification’ feature alone. 
 

Thank you again for all your continuous development of the brilliant Cachly app :-D

Just to add, I used this feature on a big series and it is a complete game changer. I turned it on for a Cachly-using friend while were out in the field, and we were both blown away. 

Thank you again :-D

So glad to hear that it helped you and a Cachly friend!
