Reodor09 Posted August 9, 2024 Report Share Posted August 9, 2024 Are there any plans to implement a feature that now is in the official gecaching app: One button to direct a cache to Google maps, and from there to the car navigation system. Very nice feature. So far one of the few things I miss from Cachly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team DEMP Posted August 9, 2024 Report Share Posted August 9, 2024 The official app seems similar to me but maybe I'm missing your steps. There is a car icon that launches a list of navigation/routing apps and when you select one, it launches that app w/ routing directions, if the app supports routing. Cachly is the same for me once you select the Navigation icon for the cache. There is also a shortcut on the main map screen that if you long press the callout for a selected cache, you have the option to Navigate right from the main map screen without going to the cache first. See the screenshot I will attach. barefootguru 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reodor09 Posted August 9, 2024 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2024 I am aware of the Navigation direct to the cache What I still miss is the Car icon that sends info to the cars navigation. So I can follow the route on the cars screen, and no need to check the app on the phone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team DEMP Posted August 9, 2024 Report Share Posted August 9, 2024 I don’t believe that is a function of the geocaching app. If you are connected to CarPlay, it should work fine in Cachly. I use it all the time with CarPlay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team DEMP Posted August 9, 2024 Report Share Posted August 9, 2024 The Geocaching app is functioning the same for me - nothing different. If you are connected to CarPlay and in Cachly launch navigation to any app that supports CarPlay it should just show up on your cars screen.

Reodor09 Posted August 9, 2024 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2024 Sorry, I do not get that to work. I only get navigation on iPhone, not the car. With the official app, the Google Map instantly opens and the route driving route is shown on the cars screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team DEMP Posted August 9, 2024 Report Share Posted August 9, 2024 Sounds like an issue with Google Maps. It is controlling sharing CarPlay. It works as you want for me running Google Maps, Apple Maps or Waze, the 3 nav apps I have installed. Maybe reboot your phone and try again?

Reodor09 Posted August 9, 2024 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2024 It is working OK with Geocaching app (contact over CarPlay) and Google Maps, but not with Cachly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
