Cache found time is always 19:00Z

Not a Problem

Since several months ago whenever I log a cache find, the recorded time of is always is 19:00Z (21:00 CEST, 22:00 Ukrainian, ...). The date remains correct. I also noticed, that when I accidentally rotate my device while the Cache Log dialog is being displayed, the rotated screen is updated to 21:00 CEST although before that the displayed time was the correct one. I always use offline logging, as I always want to write my logs later.

Good day Bohuslav,

logging a caches is quite complicated task. Problem is on Groundspeak server side, where their handling of times is not united for all methods.


Locus offer two options. One is useful for cases, where you wants to have your log in correct order on web site and do not care about precise time of your log on web. This is what You use now. Time of your log is always computed to 12:00 PSD (middle Pacific time), which is time that Groundspeak use for all logs, logged directly on web side.


If you anyway wants to have precise times for your logs and don't care if you will be in correct order or even a date on web side, you may untick settings "Log date only" right below definition of time. This second option is useful in case, you do some extra work with your logs in GeoGet or similar software, where you wants to have precise values. Otherwise recommended is to keep this settings enabled.


Is it clear? Let me know, otherwise I'll try to describe it more deeply or forward you to discussion where was this problem longly discussed.


And thank you for "rotate" problem. You are correct. Consider it as fixed.
