Direct switch between Offline and Live Map
While being in an offline database, when you click the arrows, you are able to change the database. I propose that there would be an additional tab by default, to switch to the Live Map directly. I need that very often and I think that would be a nice shortcut.
Images are sometimes duplicating drafts
I noticed a bug after my last trip. When you add an image to the draft and submit the draft (auto), it seems to be fine in GCDroid, like here:
Every cache seems to be counted once, everything is fine.
But when you go into the drafts on the website there is a duplicate:
I use an addon called GC Little Helper II which shows duplicates in red.
When going into the drafts of "Skarby Lasu 080", one draft looks like this:
The other one like this:
So what is happening, GCDroid uploads two drafts - one with the photo, and one without the photo. In some cases, there are more than two drafts for the same cache, and only one of them contains the photo uploaded through the app:
Probable cause:
During this geo-trip, I was deep in the forest, and sometimes there was no cellular reception. This probably caused errors while uploading photos, and when an error happened, the app pushed an empty draft, and then tried again the whole process. I've not known about this till I got home - there was no information inside the app - and to be honest, I understand that because it's some background process.
I hope you can fix that, cause this is doing some mess. I guess one of the options would be to disable auto-upload of drafts to geocaching.com and upload them manually later on when you have good internet access, but that's only a workaround, not a solution.
EDIT: I found a duplicate case, wherein both of the drafts there was the same photo uploaded
EDIT2: I also see a duplicate case when in one draft there are 2 photos and in the other one all 4 photos I wanted to add.
I already had started working on a redo of logging with images. I think I noticed this bug and I will likely have a fix soon.
it will NOT be in 2.3.0 since that is basically ready and I don't want to hold it up. my plan is to have this fixed in 2.3.1
Visit All button for Trackables
While logging caches in the app, it would be nice if we could "Visit All" TBs to a cache. A button at the top of the list of TB's could accomplish this. Hitting the button a second time should remove the Visits (ie. be a Visit None button).
A Drop All button might be useful, but also dangerous. Maybe just stick to the Visit All button. Or offer the ability to have these buttons as a Setting option - turn the buttons on/off in settings?
picture in field notes
Hi!
Is there a way to include pictures in field notes? I believe that Cachly has that function.
Not YET!
This is a feature of the new API and I have not added it yet. But I will in a future release.
Copy Text on Overview/Details page
It would be great to copy any text in the details page, like you can on the Source/HTML views.
One reason being copying earthcache questions to then past into Notes, and answer them there, ready for posting later.
Another reason, is copying formulae or Co-ords to once again edit in notes.
Option to purge unused cached map tiles
I really love that GCDroid caches map tiles. I currently have over 3 GB of map tiles cached in my phone, which is quite a lot.
The downside is of course the size of the data. I would suggest saving a timestamp of when each tile was last used, and an option to (automatically, or manually) remove tiles not accessed in X days. I figure X would be useful as anything between 30 and 500 days.
Probleme mit Offline Karten
Ich verwende GCDroid mit Offlinekarten von OpenAndroMaps.
Seit geraumer Zeit kann ich aber keine neueren Karten mehr einspielen, weil die V5 Karten bei mir nicht richtig dargestellt werden.
Wenn ich dagegen die V3 Karten vom September 2019 verwende, dann funktioniert alles wunderbar.
Ich habe zur Verdeutlichung zwei Screenshots mit exakt dem selben Kartenausschnitt unten angehängt.
Mache ich was falsch, oder wird V5 einfach nicht unterstützt?
Automatically import pocket query
A feature I enjoyed and miss from Cachesense: automatic syncing of pocket queries. Once they had run, gcdroid would be aware and import to a predefined database. Cachesense had a couple of other useful options about "when", if it was ok to use the data plan or wifi only, or to import automatically only if charging. It would be great if gcdroid could do this too!
