Tweaks in new geocache window
Declined
Hi there.
I loved the new configuration of the geocache window. Thanks for that!
Still, I have two suggestions:
- If the option to show gcVote in geocaching options is off, the gcvote shouldn't appear in the geocache in the window, below difficulty level.
- The favorites icon could present the list of users who gave favorites when long pressing the heart.
Regards.
I like this idea 
It doesn't matter who gave the favorites. The number is important. You could make the heart blue if there are any and gray if there are none.

Well, you could say it doesn't matter to you. It would be a better comment on your side.

The idea with the blue heart also had in the development phase. Unfortunately it was not implemented.

Hi guys,
1. removing "GC vote" just leaves empty space because on the same row are also logs. This may then need some kind of dynamic UI based on the visible content = not so easy to do properly.
2. list of people who gave a vote is also not a five-minute task, sorry. The best should be a direct link to the gc.com web page, like this one: https://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_favorited.aspx?guid=07d9a102-3e4a-4337-aab5-5eeadeb45116 , unfortunately required "guid" parameter is uknown to Locus Map as app works with cache ID only. So most easy for now is to display cache web page by the click on the cache code in UI and from here, two more taps to see required page.

Hi, Menion.
1. GC Vote it's not useful for geocaching, since it's an external service known and used by a minority. It shouldn't even be part of the main menu. Instead, in order to occupy that space, you could bring the logs to the entire line (instead of being just on the right), or organize it in another way, since all useful info is already displayed in the cache UI.
2. Well, if that's not possible, a blue heart when there are favourites, would be a nice addition.
Regards.

I've noticed that when I open a geocache screen in Locus, I have to scroll down a lot to see the owner's name.
Instead of the GC Vote space on top, the owner's name could occupy that space and it would be much easier to read.
