Sailaboat Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 Hi there, I will be attending an event tomorrow. 20 new caches, unpublished, which will be distributed via a GPX file. What's the easiest/fastest way to get the caches loaded into Cachly? Have them e-mail me, save to Dropbox, and then import? Or is there a more "direct" route? Thanks in advance.

Nic Hubbard Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 The most direct route is email. When you open the email and see the attached .gpx (it can be a .zip too) just press and hold on it. A screen will pop up and will show different apps. Swipe this list to find Cachly somewhere in that list. Then tap Cachly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sailaboat Posted May 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 Thanks for the speedy reply. I'll try it tomorrow. Cheers, Sailaboat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rragan Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 How successful will Cachly be working with unpublished caches? Clearly doing actions like Found would be problematic. Ideally Cachly would let you do everything except upload any status changes to the cache, .e.g. everything would remain local to your device. Then when the caches publish, you could synch with the site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisDen Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 You will probably have to refresh the offline caches once they are published Nic Hubbard 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K2gw Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 How can we manually enter lat/long of unpublished training caches located on private property? These are used for initial training of Scouts working on Geocaching Merit Badges and obviously can't be published. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barefootguru Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 As per first post, you can create your own caches in a GPX file. If that's too hard, you could add waypoints to an existing random cache, and navigate to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
