I just installed the Beta and currently I am disliking the new cache icons (don't like them at Geocaching.com either). When I have gotten more used to them I will give it a try to screenshot and bring my painting skills into the mix. But I believe my creativity might be better when I am more used to the new design.

In my mind, it would have been easier with the old icons. They were very similar to those at Project-GC and Project-GC uses different background colors on for example Map Compare.

The background colors could have been toned down a bit, or be transparent. But as I said, with the new icons, it's not as easy.

Not sure how it is around where you live, but where I geocache I would say in most cases the offline OSM maps isn't even close to comparable to using online OSM, Google Maps or our local maps from Lantmäteriet (for Sweden).

But as I said in my other comment, the licensing is probably not allowing this for most services. I guess OSM would allow it, their license is most likely a bit more vague on the topic.

This is actually something I was considering creating a suggestion for today as well. I am not sure how it fits with the licenses for different Tile servers though.

Yes, I meant the databases as they are called in GCDroid. Sorry for not using the correct words to make it clearer.

That sounds great. I tried to find a way in the API documentation before answering here to see if there was a new solution. I didn't look at the Search function which I assume you refer to. I will look into that once I am done with rewriting the rest.

This may very well change my use case for the future, maybe. :)

You could even consider to have that setting per Tileserver. Not sure it's useful, but something to consider for a few minutes. :)

Probably, depends on how it's implemented. But it definitely sounds like it could be a step towards this. I assume the ideas and goals behind the tasks are the same.

Not sure. I guess it has to be tested in the field a bit. It's not seldom I scroll to the end and want to read the last lines only. Then I will have to wait a bit for that button to disappear. But it sounds like an improvement regardless.

That's what I am doing every time it happens. It's just an annoyance (for me). But I understand that it's a bit of a personal preference. There might even be cases where I would dislike my own suggestion after it (hypothetically) has been implemented. But I am not aware of that I like it as it is now. :) But I definitely can see why both could be preferred.

The copy/paste is definitely a mid-way solution. It makes it (a lot) better than today, but still not as great as suggested. But you know the code behind it better, and therefore you know better how messy it would be to implement.
