If the only reason is for the cache, then find a better spot."

A Tip for Cachly

Maybe everyone knows this tip, but it is new for me.  I use Cachly sparingly on the iPhone, but when your gps gets dropped and damaged in Fakahatchee Swamp there aren't many choices.

If you drop your gps here, bad things will happen.


I was left to finish the week's caching with the iPhone and Cachly.  One thing that is great about a gps is the ability to mark a cache as found so it disappears from view.  I rarely log as I cache and many places we cache don't have signal to live log anyway.  On Saturday we were visiting Picayune Strand to search for a series of caches on a hike.  After asking Ali a few times which cache was next, I played with Cachly while we were on the trail.  I noticed a feature for highlighting a cache.

It changed the cache page from this...


To this...


It may not really matter on the cache page, but then I returned to the map...


Suddenly I could see the found caches!  I was happy.  Maybe everyone knows this trick already.  If not, I hope it helps your caching adventures.

And if you are in SW Florida, you may want to stop and visit Picayune Strand.  There are caches everywhere and fun trails to enjoy.
