Showing Ordnance Survey Maps

In order to use the online Ordnance Survey Maps in Cachly you will need to obtain a Bing Maps API key. However, if you are already running Geocaching Maps Enhancements you will already have one and you can use this same key.

If you are running GME:

Open a normal Geocaching.com map on your browser and ensure you have selected Leaflet from Set Map Preferences
Click on the right hand of the 5 little squares, bottom left of the map. There is no icon but hovering will display “Configure GME”
Select Manage Maps
Click Export Custom Maps
Towards the bottom of the code you will find "OS&key=“
Copy the following text up to the double quotes (“) and that is your API key.

If you are not running GME you will need to create a new Bing Maps API key.

You will need to have a Bing Map API Account and you can sign up for one at bingmapsportal.com
Once created log in to the account and select My Account and My Keys
If you already have a key it will show here - you do not need a new key for Cachly
If you need a key click to create a new one
Enter Application Name as Cachly; Key Type as Basic; Application Type as Public Website and click Create
You may be able to use Copy Key to copy the key, but not all browsers allow this, if not click Show Key and copy the text manually
Send the key to your phone
