"Add" a new waypoint, pre-filled the form with current coordinates? (if GPS is on).

I got your idea. thanks ;D

I don't get it. could you explain it?

kukuwaja & khaytsus

Have you tried Ver 14? I changed some memory allocations.

But it might not enough for your case. please try and feedback me. thanks

I get jealous. My wife never understand what is fun for hunting. ~(||:=<)

I think it not ready to expand TomTom support yet.

Because need to implement lots other features first.

But I will try to find the solution for TomTom.

I love TomTom because I am a user of TomTom even I can't use it in Japan now.

I used to use TomTom in UK and US. that is my personal need too. ;D

Once, I considerd about Gateway server to reduce the packets between GC.com and device.

But it might be a cause of BAN. if IP blocked, all user will not use GCz anymore.

Second thought, personal GW server. I just make a I/F and user can make a own gateway server. (Pearl / PHP like.) Mostly near I/F format is xml file under Cache/Cache_List folder. Requests from GCzII to GW server and GW server parse from HTML to XML. anyway, I think I have not enought time to do this now. probably final phase if will do this idea.

>> I often have the situation that there are coordinates

>> in the description text but no waypoints

I think it is difficault because the format which is in the descripton are not same.

Currently, copy the coordinate from description then past it in the waypoint Note field first at Add Waypoint menu.

Anyway, I always check this thread and memorized all feedbacks.

So, I added this idea to my todo list. ;D

Currently, over 100 ideas and todo list now. ~(:[|]

>> 1. possibility to have 2 gps inputs

hmmm You make me ...

You want to have 2 GPS settings to swith GPSr easier right?

I think it possible but priority is very low. sorry now.

>> 2. Export TomTOm POI

It would be final phase of development.

-----------------

Jack_Brody

>> please allow saving waypoint if no latitude and longitude are given.

I need to check it first. but if no side effect. I will change it.

I don't want to disagree but I don't think it's just simple.

1) the HTML parser ... who will do this work and how to keep maintain?

Once GC.com changed, need to make a diagnosis first.

Then decide which side of problem GCz or HTML parser.

It makes steps double to solve issue.

I prefer 1 step trouble shooting. ;D

2) if IPs gather 1 place, it might be a cause of BAN.

It just worry me.

>> Big thumbs up from me for this one. I've had a few caches recently that had the waypoints in the description and its a PITA to copy them out and create a waypoint by hand. I think using the clipboard to store the co-ords and then having a menu to "create waypoints from clipboard" is an excellent idea

I dont know that you already find clipboard copy feature of coordinate inside of GCz.

but it not work from Description to Waypoints. anyway, I will think about it.

-----------------

Wow Wow lots of discussion about Waypoints coordinate from Description.

I understood the importance.

I will think about it anyway. ;D

marcuswar

>> Looking at the 09_CacheDetails entry in your logs

I added it to FYI section. thanks

-----------------

Ma-Pe

>> Are you planning to add also GPX export feature?

Yes it will be added later.

(But I don't have GPX needed devices.

I only have WM devices lots. around 80 devices. doooo.)

By the way, the GPX format is only one?

I only see it from GC.com (Build Pocket Queries)

abumaia

>> is there some way to get the imported caches to show distance and bearing from current location like the regular search-near-location caches?

It is possible. just need time to implement it. ;D

-----------------

Geinponem

>> With the new possibilities of downloading spoilers en importing gpx-files

According current design, just import cache list and it not download cache detail/images as same as the result of search from top screen.

>> - calculate options: such as projections, intersections, converting coordinates, formulas etc. [see also de PPC-tool PGCT on http://www.pgct.nl/, sorry it's in Dutch]

It seems nice have features but currently not. it's just my time reason.

->> the possibility to sort and search caches in a cachelist: by name, by home-coordinates, by difficulty etc.

It will be supported in the future.

realhuette

>> Btw, what does the option " GPS accuracy" mean?

It's just a coefficient. DOP x GPS accuracy = meters/feet

e.g) DOP = 3.1 GPS accuracy = 6 ==> 3.1x6 = +-18 meters and blue circle on the GPS Monitor screen.

Jack_Brody

1)Tom, do I get it right that from now on every download (and redownload) of a cache dowloads (redownloads) all images attached to the logs? This might be data consuming (and slow in the field when on GPRS or EDGE) in some cases with lots of images.

Is there a way to switch this off?

It will be selectable and add new options. will change new UI.

2) the "Log count" and "Decrypt hint" settings in "Web browser settings" - do they still make any sense? I noticed they didn't have any effect on the GCz behavior.

That is just for Web Brownser option.

When open GC.com cache page directory from GCz. (Cache detail window menu.)l

It would be used.

Actually... well I notice you call these log images "spoilers". I don't know how this works in Japan, but here in CZ people usually don't attach spoiling images (showing the hide spot) and if they accidentally do, cache owner demands that they pull them out.

It's the owner who sometimes adds spoiler image(s), but they are attached directly to the listing and not to the logs, so they are not visible in todays GCzII.

maybe it is wrong naming.

but sometime the pictures in logs show the cache and hidden place.

Please give me good naming for it. I will change it. ;D

Huego

>> +1 for that request from me! Although I have a 1GB data flat,

It will be changed selectable.

>> magnetic compass

I wish I will have it too on WM device. not only iPhone 3G S but also Gphone.

--------------------

toshe

Currently, there is no option to swith 2 GPS devices easier.

But WM OS supports 2 GPS devices (Internal/External) by "External GPS" in the Settings.

(I don't know that 2 devices work or not at same time. probably not???)

(I have never tried such case.)

---------------------

paulpille

>> - GPS-Monitor ->

I need to consider it. but later.

>> - edit & save existing waypoints (those prepared by cache owner in listing)

Maybe it will not be supported because original waypoints will be overwrited when cache reloaded. if cache owner modified or remove it. it might be a cause of confilict.

>> - unfortunately I am not able to run the camera.

GCz does not execute exe file directly. ("Camera.exe" like.)

I just call WM Camera API. If it not work.

It means your device has not designed for WM API. (I guess.)

>> - furthermore I propose to include the camera as a Menu item in GPS Monitor

I think it no problem. ;D

>> proposed future feature: alternatively use topo maps in GPS-Monitor/Radar

???? (--? topo maps?

>> cache tours

It will be supported in the future.

Fuuuuuuuuuuu... all comments done. took long time ;D

thanks
