Still the same problems with picture dowloads on my side, the rest seems to work now. (Version 45). The downloading process looks normal, but only very few pictures are dowloaded. The rest is missing, spoilers and description images.

Am I really the only one with this problem?

Thanks so far Tom!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ricke 59:
Version 45, Seems to be working fine, however did find a new question, I don't know if it was the same with previous version or if it came now.

When reading logs and comparing on GC.com it seems that there's difference where logs are missing, check for example GC29KYT Fira #2.

Regardless of above, I'm very happy with this fine piece of software, it really meets with my expectations. Thanks !

additional waypoint

Hi there,

I've been using this program for a long time now and I really do love it.

The only problem is:

When I do an export from gsak, with additional waypoints (*-wpts.gpx), I get the original coordinates in the "normal" notation (N52 xx.xxx etc) but the waypoint I do get in decimal notation. (52.xxxxx)

Gsak exports both of waypoints (original waypoint and additional waypoint) in decimal format (52.xxxxx), so the program is converting itself to the "normal" coordinates.

Is there a setting which I could change, so GCZii gives the normal coordinates of the additional waypoints?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jake Bullit:
Thanks for fixing again .
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vidvandre:
We're back... :-) Happy to report that while we had one DNF, GCzII performed flawlessly for our short trip (logged 3 other caches). Again; Thank you very much!...

About languages on GC.com

Hi ! Finally it works again (version 45). I'm so happy and soooooooooo thankful to you Tom ! :)

However, at the beggining, it wasn't working (v. 45), but reading previous post, as someone mentioned :

- You may have the English language set on GC.com to get GCz working.

I had set it to French (which my official language) and turning it back to English, it works ! Yes ! I really can live with the English version of GC.com though !

Thank you again !

Cache not found issue...version 0.2.35.45

Hi !

I have an issue now that I not had few days ago.

I installed the last version 0.2.35.45 and all cache is now "Cache not found".(Same appear with xxx.43 version)

I set cookie ON in IE like explain on GCzII website.

Newbie question, do I need a PREMIUM account on geocaching.com for this to work (maybe is a 30days trial working ???) It's a new normal account I open a month ago approximatly.

Thanks Tom for your good works !!

(Sorry for bad english I'm french speaking)

UPDATE:

I erased all file in HTTP_Log and now all works !

Thanks !!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Sorry for being off topic, but just in case anyone is thinking about going to Android, if caching is important you'll want to read this.. Android is a great platform but of the fist full of caching programs none of them combined gets close to GCzII..

Android does NOT support bluetooth serial connections, ie: no bluetooth GPS. Internal GPSes suck, period. And the one on the Nexus One is NO exception. Gets 'stuck' all the time (feels like static nav) and goes into lala land the second there's any foliage above or buildings nearby.

One of the programs insists on black on white screen at full brightness.. Hello, I'm caching at night, I already have a flashlight, thanks!

One of the programs seemingly picks and chooses which caches to show... For that matter I literally had to go through THREE to find a cache I'd written down in my "cache run" list in my notebook for tonight. The cache was there, and it existed, was not disabled etc.. yet only one of the programs seemed to know about it!

One of the programs seems to sort in some random way even though I find zero sort methods, so I'd hope to assume "distance from my location"...

Most of them can call Google Navigator to lead you to a cache, which is handy, except that Google Navigator is more likely to lead you to the next state than the next street.

I'll be putting GCzII on my Tilt (selling my Tilt 2 ASAP, Nexus One purchase recovery) and using my trusty Holux 236 bluetooth GPS again next time I cache I think.. Just have to make sure I downloaded everything ahead of time I suppose, since it'll be offline.

Cache (still) not found

Hello,

First of all I'd like to thank Tom for his great support and the update.

I've been working with the program for a couple of months now - it's so great!

Yesterday I have installed the 45 version - but - unfortunately the cache-not-found window keeps popping up and I cannot go into the cache details.

On the other hand, caches I have viewed on a former version are marked with a little grey box (the box which is usually yellow) and I can go into the cache details.

What is wrong now? :confused::confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hawkeye69:
Could someone try downloading GC185T9 (Zauberwald) for me. The three spoiler pics are ignored by my version 45 GczII, the rest works fine.

Or try GC1X5A4 (Flug AB 6479). The description image is not downloaded, so this cache can not be solved with version 45. :(

Most caches with pictures behave like that, can anyone confirm this.

Cheers!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] acejavelin:
GC185T9 - Confirmed - Spoiler pics not downloading, but I am not sure they ever did. Everything else is OK.

GC1X5A4 - Confirmed - Even after reloading the cache, there is still just an image place holder saying "Not downloaded", everything else including all the tables downloaded fine.

Tried a few others in USA that I know had pictures in description, not downloading either, although if I open a cache with description picture that had been downloaded previously, the image was there.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] equo:
Big "Thank You very much" for the quick update!

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] docfred:
"grey and yellow boxes"

That doesn't depend on a former version

In my opinion caches turn "grey" if there is only an old description. Perhaps after a period of several days. Can someone confirm that?

docfred
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pingu-net:
as i have seen on my list, already downloaded Caches will become "greyed", if there is a change of the Software. This can be solved by re-downloading the cachelist.

For me it works perfectly.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hotkimo:
Is your GC.com language preference set to something else than English ? If you, bring it back to English, and it should work ! And you can also try to Download your caches again. Good luck.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] carbolineum:
Same problem here. No pictured are downloaded.

Main storage filling up

Thanks Tom for a cracking app, but I have an annoying issue.

Although GCzII is installed on the storage card, when I download some caches, it appears to fill the main storage on my device. I can't find the offending files anywhere using file explorer. Also, the files seem to be in the Cache_DB folder on the storage card, so why is the main storage being filled?

I have tried 'Remove Caches', but that doesn't give me back the memory that has been used.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hawkeye69:
Acejavelin & carbolineum, thanks for your confirmation. Pictures not being downloaded seems to be the main problem with version 45. “Open web Browser” and looking at the complete cache page seems to be the only way to make sure no information is missing at the moment.

The rest worked good today, I did some caches today with GCzII, apart from the picture issue, everything worked fine, thanks Tom!!

Cheers
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] silencer84:
I experience the same problem, the pictures of some caches are downloaded (GC14TB6), the pictures of other not (GC10A3P).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RH18:
I have a simular issue, and I find deleting the browsing history on internet explorer usually removes the annoying message and alarm saying I am running out of space :mad:, I try and put nothing onto the device, all on storage card. I hope this helps you, I also run Spb backup every night which keeps thing clean (i'm told by IT).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Psyberdude:
The grey folder icon indicates that the information is "old". I'm not sure exactly how old, as I've never tracked it, but I think it's about 7 days. In most cased this mearly means that you may not have the most recent logs, as descriptions hardly even change.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Psyberdude:
Duplicates in merged cache list

I think I may have found a small bug. As far as I can tell it's not new to the latest version as I did the merge just prior to .43 not working, in preparation for the inevitable after effect of the GC update. Anyway, I'd done two separate searches to cover a trip I was planning for the weekend. I then merged the two list, which seemed fine, but as soon as I did a "Sort by location" as I was travelling, I discovered that the list now contained duplicates of some caches. I think the duplicates are limited to caches that appeared in both searches, but as I didn't keep the two individual results I can't be sure.

Perhaps Tom can look at this when he has time.

deicmal notation

Kicking it up....Does anybody has a clue???
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paulloft:
Don't know that I can offer any help, but I have noticed the same behaviour with Tomtom files which I export from GSAK.

Cache coordinates are always spot on, but Parking coordinates (waypoints) are often way off and take me to places nowhere near the actual recommended parking.

Hadn't a clue why this was happening until I read your post.

I don't use GCz for finding waypoints generally, so hadn't spotted the problem there.

So if it is a problem with the way GSAK exports waypoints coordinates, would it be better to contact the GSAK developer and get the exported data correct rather than GCz having to do the work?

I might drop him an email and see if it's something he is aware of.

Koordinates without Details to GPS Monitor

Hi,

I have a little Question, its possible to put the Koordinates from the Cache List direkt in the GPS Monitor without download the Details from a Cache? :confused:

Becaus:

I was the last days in Berlin as the Geocaching.com was offline and i had no way to download the new Version :-(

I had to export in GPX, then rename in .txt File and finding the Name of Cache Copying the Koordinates an took it in a Downloaded Cache as a Waypoint. Now i Travel with GPS Monitor to the Cache! :cool:

Thanks Bianca
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Naitsirhc_NL:
The problem is not with GSAK, because the macro writes all the coordinates in the digital format.

However GCZii shows the basic coordinates ( the first coordinate) in a normal view (N52 xx.xxx) The waypoint will be shown digital......
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Born2Run:
@hotkimo - Thanks a lot for the 'hint' ;) I have set the language to English now and now I can load and see the cache-details! :):)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vidvandre:
If I understand what you're trying to achieve, this is possibly. Simply open the GPS Monitor, on the top of the "left soft menu" you'll find a couple options to set your target location.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Psyberdude:
As you have no doubt realised by now, the answer is NO, you do not NEED a premium membership.

However, we here as a community do encourage you to become a premium member. Not only will you have the GC benefits of being a member, but most of us here believe we are within our rights to legitimately use this software because of our premium membership status, as we are not doing anything we could not do with PQ's. If you are not a premium member, then you are effectively getting the benefit without the cost... the very thing that GC is objecting too about this software.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vidvandre:
Groundspeak recently approved GCzII! :) As such GCzII users at Geocaching.com can crawl back from their hiding places...

AFAIK; Groundspeack have no current objections to GCzII, at least not officially. Last objections where copyright/trademark related (logo usage or something).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Psyberdude:
If you read the entire thread, as well as some of the linked threads, I think its more accurate to say that it's being tollerated. There was no direct answer or confirmation from either the moderator or any GC Lackeys other than to say it is no longer banned from the forums and therefore, by extention, may appear to be approved. There is however a post, relating an email from GC which may contradict this, although the person responding in that instance may not yet have been aware of the new policy as it looks like a form responce.

Either way, I'm happy if its even just being tollerated. I will however, still not be mentioning it on GC forums, just in case they are taking notes :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vidvandre:
Did you find a solution to this issue? Don't know if you've seen it, but there is an option to specify download folder from within GCzII (Menu > Options > Download settings). I'm under the impression that leaving this blank stores downloaded data in subfolders of the installation target...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vidvandre:
I'm following the reasoning that; Since one aren't allowed to discuss unapproved applications, you may discuss GCzII, thus GCzII must be allowed. Though saying that "Groundspeak tolerates GCzII" may be a good description of the mess they've created...

My approach as well; Not disturbing the beast. Could not imagine going Geocaching without GCzII...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Yes, what they said was that they're no longer playing whack-a-mole with threads, GCzII still voilates their TOS and usage agreements since GC won't publish their API.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vidvandre:
That might be the gist of it, but GCzII has nothing to do with the GC API (given that Groundspeak won't give access to it). GCzII simply works as a web browser and a convenient way to organize (and work with!) data seen by the web browser... ;)

For Groundspeak the problem must have become that GCzII simply does this better than any official or sanctioned application or method. For users that started out with GCzII (like me), switching to an alternative, "Groundspeak recommended", method isn't that interesting. The way GCzII works is so central to how I do this, that I'm fairly sure I wouldn't be Geocaching without it (or an application with similar functionality). I see no point in trying to reverse (or hinder) technological innovation/evolution like this. Personally I was about to start a premium subscription and place my first three caches when this last "discussion" of GCzII started. Delayed both due to the uncertainty Groundspeak has created around the usage of GCzII (could also be seen as the attitude and policies Groundspeak takes towards its users)...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Titus_Andronicus:
No, no I could not.

I realy don't know how people have the patience, even with the fancy paperless GPSs. I guess some of the newest ones are failry similar to GCzII (without the live download capability), but those also cost ^^$
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Boyo:
That's funny you say that, I have a $250 gps with paperless caching and still use GCz. I will never give it up!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
I think i can confirm or at least explain some of the "effects" asked on the last few pages:

1. Gray Folder Icons: It just means "Data is old". In the XML you get by exporting the registry from inside GCzII you can even see and change the value. It usually is set to 7 days. I do not know if there is any menu option for it, but i doubt it.

2. Double entries in merged lists: This is usually from caches contained in both lists merged. This is happening at least since last autumn. I don't know if it ever worked without this doubling, i just noticed it back then when i used that feature for the first time.

3. Missing pictures: It maybe has something to do with how the pictures are embedded in the gc.com-site. This 'feature' works on some caches and doesn't on others, and it did so on some caches around my home as long as i know GCzII, so it is no defect on the last version(s).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] iminhull:
This does indeed solve the storage issue, thanks. Deleting web content restored the memory on the device. Hopefully this is an issue that will be looked into.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hawkeye69:
I'm quite sure this is not true.

I downloaded all my own caches (more than ten) with GCzII before the last GC.com update and all pictures (there are quite a few) worked perfectly. After the update and now with version 45 none of them get downloaded. So the problem definately is only existent since this update. Before is was only very few that did not work. A lot of the good caches around can only be solved with pictures because these are important parts of the description (not to mention spoiler pictures).

I hope Tom finds some time to look into this issue.

Cheers
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Psyberdude:
I am unable to duplicate the problem. As a test I have just download a list of caches for an area I've never been to before (to avoid any accidental historic data) and all images downloaded, with only one exception. Images which are not uploaded to GC.com but are referenced from a remote source do not seem to download and especially those such as FlagCounter and GeoCheck which use some form of JS are ignored.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hawkeye69:
True, the flagcounters, geocheck, GCVote etc. and non GC pictures have always been a “problem”, also in previous versions, but most of all this is not needed to find the cache. For the examles I have tried, about 80%-90% of GC pictures are not loaded, and they often contain essential information to finding the cache. When heading to an area without carrier I would have to check all caches concerning missing pictures, which is not practicable. So then when using GCzII, I need a backup like GSAK html files & spoilersync. So for me the picture issue is a real problem, still I really love the program.

I reinstalled GCzII and erased all old folders, I have also tried never downloaded caches. I`m quite sure its not an old data issue.

Cheers
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
Okay then, maybe the problem got worse with the last update.

But i noticed caches with and without pictures in description since long ago, although i did not research the causes.

Hallo alle mit einander,

seit dem letzten Update 0.2.35.45 kann ich meine eigenen gefundenen Cache nicht mehr abrufen bei [7/9] „Mit Nutzernamen suchen“.

Erscheint die Meldung „[VIEWSTATE1] nicht gefunden!“ kann es sein das ich wieder noch etwas eistellen muss oder liegt es doch an der Software.

Auch bekomme ich keine „neu“ Cache mehr angezeigt obwohl die erst neu rein gekommen sind.

Desweiteren ist mir aufgefallen das bei den Cache selbst die Tage Anzeige nach dem Aktualisieren immer auf dem Heute steht und nicht auf dem Tag des letzten Logeintrag, wie es vorher der Fall gewesen ist, oder Irre ich mich da.

Danke wie immer schon im Voraus für die Antworten.

Grüße aus Bayern Deutschland

Hi all with each other,

since the last update 0.2.35.45 to make my own cache found not retrieve it at [7 / 9] "Search user names".

If the message "[VIEWSTATE1] not found" it may be that I have yet again eistellen something or is it yet to the software.

I also do not get a "new" message even though the cache more have only recently arrived pure.

Also, I noticed that in the cache itself, the day after updating up-to-day is not on the date of last log entry, as is previously been the case, or am I misled me.

Thanks as always in advance for the answers.

Greetings from Bavaria, Germany

HTC HD Mini

Hello!

I own a HTC HD2 and use GZCII for geocaching. I think it's the best app ever, thank you Tom for your hard work and the frequent updates!!!

My girlfriend bought a HD Mini today. It's a very nice phone but:

I installed GCZII on her Phone, tried to start it and... nothing!!! :(

After searching some threads I found out that GCZII does not support HVGA.

Is Tom working on a version that runs on 480x320 phones???

(sorry for my bad English...)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Labersack:
GCzII on HVGA (HD Mini)

Just go to folder /Program Files/GCzII/Skin/COMMON and copy the file 240x240.txt to 480x320.txt (same folder).

It's not perfect, but it works.

I've tried to change the parameters, but I didn't get the rules of them, so I just use the 240x240 file.

Anybody knows how to change the file to a correct working HVGA-version?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] koorni:
Thank you!!! Oder: Danke!!!:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
The picture problem is very annoying. None of the gallery images are shown, even if they've been downloaded earlier. And the images in the description text part can't be downloaded by clicking on them. That worked without any problems with the previous version.

I'm sure that it occurs because of the last GC.com update. They changed something in the html code and the html parser of GCzII doesn't recognize the pictures.

Image Download

I have, for the very first time, now experienced this problem which has been mentioned previously.

But what is very wierd... a cache was published tonight with lots of images as part of the description, but some loaded and some did not. Aside from the fact that ALL of them are remote images, in other words not uploaded to GC, I can not see an immediate reason why only some should load.
