Refreshed and Owned not checked. Still the same

My newly created AL does show on the regular Geocaching map. When I select it opens in the AL app, but it doesn't show from the AL app directly.
What's up?

THanks, never looked

How do i enter a "new line"?. When I hit enter the message is sent.

Work around-------------
After the "download" quits with error, click menu and Map view. Wait a while (it seems that there is some more stuff to download. If you continue to soon, not all the data is available for some caches).
Turn on airplane mode.
You are set to go as long as you don't get out off the app.
Funny thing, c:geo downloads offline data very quickly all the time.

Is the Help Center article Offline Lists step by step enough for you?
Yes, but that wasn't my question. I'm (and many other people) are having trouble downloading "lists" create from PQs in the "official" App. There seams to be a difference in lists created from a map search and a PQ No?

Yes, the App treats them differently. I meant that by design, the App lumps them all together on the "Lists" page. I use the subtle clues to tell apart my "Go Find" List from the "Go Find" Pocket Query that I made from it.
So how do i get a PQ into the app for offline use? Step by step please.
thnx

@AlohaMoma: there is no way without cell service.
WiFi will work also. Downloading lists on Android has been problematic lately GS doesn't want or can't fix this!

Found a work-around that works for me
After Download failure, go to Lists, click the menu circle for that list
Select Map view
The Map and caches will show
Set phone in airplane mode
You are now set for the day as long as you don’t switch to another list.
You will not be able to zoom close in the map. Download the offline Google map and switch to it.

Groundspeak fix this!!!!

No, pieces of the bonus solution can be sprinkled among the five journals. Done properly, there is nothing about adding bonus cache clues that requires that the AL be sequential.
I did an AL where, in order to find the bonus you had to follow/find road signs that were show after solving each sequential stage. Very difficult if the stages were not sequential.

The gameplay requires a constant data connection.
Not true! I only have WiFi and it works fine when I get back to within WiFi range. It is annoying when the owner has made the AL sequential. I know, that is sometimes needed for a bonus cache, but when it is done willy-nilly NO!

Great advice @Hügh, it is best to create an Adventure in an area with good cellular coverage. An additional tip that may help, from the builder guide, states: "Tip - Not all players will have cellular data while playing the Adventure. To accommodate for this, set the Geofencing distance to a greater radius, allowing players to log them once they have WiFi accessibility." This can help with areas that have some coverage, but not great.
Wifi is not needed immediately to log a find. The app remembers you were there and you supply the answer later when you have WiFi or cellular access

Further, not having the coordinates readily available makes it difficult to enter them into an automotive navigation system---and a number of these AdLabs can each involve considerable driving. Although it is possible to obtain coordinates one-by-one from Google Maps, that means one has to ticky-tacky each coordinate manually into their automotive GPS, or into GSAK in order to get a GPX or LOC file that should have been available (in my opinion) right from the start.
I'm a Garmin user and use Basecamp. I create a waypoints for all points in an AL on the map and enter them in my GPSr together with all regular caches in the area. Easy, no manual entry with Google Maps or Earth.

You can't go home, contact the CO, get clarification, and then log the find, because you have to be AT the location in order to log it,
As long as you try to answer the question, the location sticks and you can input the correct answer later from home. This has always worked for me since I use a phone without data and wifi is usually not available. This doesn't work with fixed route ALs, since you have to answer the question before you can go to the next one.
Another reason not to have a fixed route bonus cache associated with an AL.

I use my phone to have the information on hand. I create PQs and download the data in the GC app for offline use. This way you can use your phone for offline use. If I need info about a cache in a foreign language, I copy from the web, run it through Google translate and paste into a word processor and print. I also load the PQ into my Garmin, just in case the phone app doesn't work.

If i want to add a new cache to a downloaded PQ the PQ doesn't show in the "add to", only lists that i have created. I can create a list at this point, but that doesn't really do what i want. I don't want to have numerous list in my app. Can anyone help me with this?

My PQs don't show in the list of lists, only lists that I already have created. I don't want to create a new list each time I'm adding a cach

I create PQs and download to the app for offline use. I'm online and a new cache appears in the same area as my downloaded PQ. Option is "add cache to list". But my saved PQ is not a list! Help please.

I download a list for off-line use. Go to airplane mode and then map view. Click on a cache and I have access to off-line data. Good, no surprise. Now I click on the new Clue in the cache data. Error "This content can't be accesses offline" Now I can't access any info about that cache until I access another cache and come back to the previous one. Very annoying

That's just it. I don't see my active list when I wan to a cache to it, even though I see it when in the menu under lists.
