Regarding special german characters i found out that they are coded as two byte characters with first byte C3 xx.

For instance "ä" = a umlaut is coded C3 A4

I add a GPX-Export for Colorado/Oregon made with GSAK and the macro from

#*******************************************
# MacVersion = 1.2.20
# MacDescription = Colorado/Oregon GPX Export - for GSAK 7.5
# MacAuthor = SnoWake and lignumaqua
# MacFileName = ColoradoExport.gsk
# MacUrl = http://gsak.net/board/index.php?showtopic=7745

which works perfect for my Oregon with all the Umlauts and different fonts sizes, breaks and paragraphs and so on.

WINEC Devices

Would like to get GCzII onto a WINCE6.0 All-in-One GPS Touch Screen devices. This can be done with the respective needed DLLs are copied and the apps compiled as an ARM executable. I suppose WINCE4.2, WINCE5.0 and WINCE6.0 devices should work as long as the screen 480x272 is defined too. Any help will be most appreciated.

Great work on every version released!

Cheers,

Oh yes, PLEASE :o .

Export to WPT (or gdb) would also make me sooooo happy :p !
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 1234556789:
That are good news ! (that you keep on working)

So i can ask you for more ......

So i like want to export a gpx file with spoilers to the triton, but thats something for later. First of all thanks all for the work.

I think you know even if you spend day and night for this program there will be wishes for it at every time.

When I sort a list by cache size, I only get 20 results, and there is no way to sort larger first. It always shows me the 20 closest nano caches. Is there a way to reverse the sort?

Awesome software by the way! Thanks for your effort!

hmmm strange... Which version GCz do you use?

Try to rename the MUI file 0407 to 0409.

***********************

EDIT)

I checked original GPX file from GC.com.

The GPX file contains HTML tags "<p>" (<p>) / "<hr>" (<hr>) like.

So, Colorado can display HTML tags above in the GPX file from GC.com ?

Also, the GPX files does not escape German. It just uses German in the description in the GPX file.

e.g) => "(1,5h Stunden für den Aufstieg und 1h für den Abstieg)"

Is it OK to Colorado?

So, my question is "GPX file from GC.com is OK to Colorado?

If so, I just follow the GPX file format from GC.com.

Man, this app just keeps getting better and better!

Any chance of you releasing the source Tom, since you are going to start devoting time to other activities? You could release it under a GPL.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Gech:
HI BooDaddy

I will not release the source codes. ;D

thank you.

tom
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BooDaddy:
No problem, just wondering I completely understand not releasing the source. I would hate to see this app die, its superb!

I hope your next ventures are successfull! I just would like to say thank you for being so diligent with this app. It has gotten me and my family into geocaching more, just by making it simplier to go caching! We usually stop and pick a few caches up whenever we are out in town... This app makes it SO EASY to do. We just look up nearby caches and find them and then log them!

Oh and thanks for making this for free! I would buy this app in a heartbeat if it was "commercial". In my opinion its easily worth $15 or $20 per license.

Hi Tom :)

I found some little errors and made a few modifications. Could you please create another version ? (I modified things in all of the 3 files attached).

As you will soon have less time to dedicate to GCzII (BTW, if your book will be translated in English or French count me in to buy one :D) I have some questions and suggestions, while you still have a little spare time available :rolleyes: :o

1°) I hope that even if you'll have less time to dedicate, you will always found a little time to modify GCz parser when geocaching.com will modify their html code ?

2°) Do you still plan to finalize the Offline Mode ? I'd love to have it !

3°) Could you please assign back Up/Down/Left/Right keys in GPS Monitor to switch between "North Up" and "Heading Up" and "Automatic" and "Manual" zoom ? (In day to day use I would really like to have key shortcut for these settings ... It is far more useful than "Satellite View" which I personally never use and can be easily accessed by touch screen on "GPS signal strength area". Or maybe you could make the keys associated functions customizable ? :p

4°) The "Waypoints marker" menu when displaying a static map is not translated and replaced by squares. (screenshot)

5°) With my VGA device, in several screens the N/S and E/W comboboxes are not wide enough so the letters are not fully visible. Could you please add a few pixels more to their width (screenshot)

6°) I think that when GCz is displaying the Favorite List ...it should not override the Prev List. ie. if I choose "Prev List" after I displayed the Favorite list I would like to come back to the list that was displayed before the Favorite and not the Favorite one...

7°) In "Cache List" what does the "Overview" Menu (with cache and tracking sub-menus) :o

8°) Any chance you also interface Garmin Mobile XT ? :cool:

Thank you so much.

Cheers,

Nibbler
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] derlbear:

Request POI-Export divided after type and additional waypoints

Hello Tom / Gech,

once again you stunned me with your velocity! :)

I thank you very much for your hard work!

The POI-Export for TomTom works as expected perfectly! ;) :)

I have a request for one addition though.

In my favourite macro for GSAK there is a very special export to TomTom very much detailed. Every type of cache (Tradi, Multi, Mystery, Event...) and every possible state (archived, disabled, active, found) has it's own icon in TomTom.

Also the additional waypoints have their own icons and here for a car navigation especially "Parking" has one own icon.

The POIs are named A-Tradi, A-Multi....

The leading "A-" gives you a fast opportunity to search for it, because the POIs are listed alphabetically in TomTom and so you have your favorite geocaching POIs at first! :)

I add a file with all the different icons for you. Only some are missing because 2007 as the macro was written there was no "WherIgo" "Mega". "Benchmark" and "Ape" are from no interest in Europe so they are not included, too.

Source for the original macro with the icons: http://gsak.net/board/index.php?showtopic=6009

I think that the implementation should not need to much time for you, as your algorythm for creating *.ov2-files is already working. :)

You need just iterate through all caches and additional waypoints and write a *.ov2-file for each sort.

I think most of the TomTom-users would appreciate this very much.

For the rare case one would have only one icon for all you could make your current POI-Export as option.

Thanks a lot!

Greetings from Germany to Japan and

Happy Hunting!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CouchPotato:

Help with Tom Tom POI export

First I want to thank Tom for your hard work and dedication to the development of this app. I am running the latest version of GCzII on my Samsung i760 running Windows Mobile 6.1. When I try to export a POI to Tom Tom I get an error message "File Open Failed. [\Storage Card\WA_OR_ID\GCzII.ov2]" This is the path where my POI's are located, it is my map folder. Does Tom Tom need to be running? Is there something I am missing? What should happen when I click "export POI"? Will Tom Tom be launched? Sorry for all of the questions, I have been able to follow progress up until now and have enjoyed Geocaching very much with this tool. This latest feature has me stumped and I am looking for some help. Thank you, Norm

hi tom

really a great app, I'm using it since the beginning and as the new version arrived I've replaced my old garmin device ...

I really like the caching/offline feature. But one thing I'm missing. It would be great to have a "find nearby caches from current location" looking in the current cache list instead of the online lookup. Outside our country the mobile internet is very expensive and therefore I create offline cache lists. To find them from current location would be very comfortable.

Thank you very much,

This program gets better and better.!!!!!!!

Can you export gpx files for igo( as a poi file)? It is a very often used navigation program.

That would be very fine.

I send two screenshots how it lookes like and a igo poi file.

If you need further information i would be pleased to answer.

Thank you for your fantastic work!

Select the cache list with caches in the surrounding area and then sort them by distance from current location (with gps on) works fine for me.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CouchPotato:
@Tom / Gech

Will you do the more decent TomTom-Export as i described?

If yes, i will help you and build the missing icons for TomTom.

Will you do the Export for OziCE with different colours for all the different waypoints and description in the name of the waypoint?

If yes, i will give you some clues about file description and which works best.

Thank you!

Kind regards

CouchPotato
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] derlbear:
That works for me, too. I don't know why someone needs an offline-mode because everything works fine when you downloaded a list at home and post logs in the field notes. :)

Is this really necessary? In my opinion there are other things that enhance GCzII more than exporting 1000 different POIs. Just choose the right cache, go through the POI list and that's it. GSAK =!= GCzII.

I think some other options would be more helpful. Options that you can't use at home (like "average position") or something like that.

But that's only my humble opinion and because I'm not the developer of GCzII, you can ignore it if you want ;)

After updating to 0.2.35.7, I still get an error importing the GPX file created for this cache http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?wp=GCWRGG . There are some strange characters on the GC web page that I have seen on several cache pages in addition to the one mentioned earlier in the thread (GC10BEE - which still gives an error importing).

It seems to be a known problem http://forums.groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=208221&hl= . Reading between the lines it looks as though the troublesome characters are removed from PQs and GPX files generated by GC, although the non-troublesome characters still appear as random weird characters, which do not caused the import to fail.

I guess the naughty ones need to be stripped out before the GPX export in GCzII. Poss?

Thanks again for a top app.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Considering TomTom only uses one icon for POIs, unless Tom was exporting a bunch of different files, there's only one icon.

Personally I think only one POI list is more than sufficient. It makes it easy to find the POIs that GCzII exported.

I think Tom should perhaps also copy over a POI icon for the file being created, I made a simple one myself for now. Just dropping it into the appropriate directory is fine, it doesn't matter if the POI file itself is updated, the icon remains and works. If anyone is interested, I took it right from Tom's logo, it's attached below in 22x22 bmp format like TomTom likes. I can't speak for VGA, my device is QVGA.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] derlbear:
Hey,

I used the following path for the POI folder: (without the brackets) "Speicherkarte\TomTomMapFolderIDexample" or "Storage Card\TomTomMapFolderIDexample" and this works great for me. Maybe the backslash at the beginning of your destination is too much. Try it :)

Negative colours

Hi again.

I did a bit of night caching this week, and I need to say that the app is now very impressive.

It would be good, though to make the app a bit easier on the eyes at night. The white background really is too bright to look at while trying to walk around in the dark. It makes me see squares when I look away again, and find it hard to re-adjust my eyes.

If we could have reversed colours as an option which will activate using the WM light sensor, or even an option on the menu to switch.

Just a thought.

Jonny.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CouchPotato:
No not really.

Look at this 2 different pictures and you will know, what i want to have:

http://www.2takter.de/geocaching/

I work since two years with the right view and will never ever miss it again! :)

A seperate POI for Parking Areas of Caches is very handy, too!

If you have different POI for the different types of caches you are able to advice TomTom to give you an alarm f.i. "bell" if you are approaching f.i. a "Traditional Cache" and be quiet if you are passing the dummy coordinates of a "Mystery Cache". :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CouchPotato:
Manually dimming your backlight is the best way. It will save energy, too!

WM light sensor is very rare in WM devices, so working with that rare hardware implementation will not help most of the users.

Simply reverse colours is no option for colours in descriptions, pictures and pinpoint maps. You will not recognize anything anymore.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] shaggyguitarist:
I have Touch diamond with light sensor, which automatically dims the backlight if the sensor isnt recieving any light. Even if there is no light sensor, then an option to reverse the colours, and have a black background would be great, also wont attract all the insects at night too.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CouchPotato:
Sorry, i edited my posting during your posting.

"Simply reverse colours is no option for colours in descriptions, pictures and pinpoint maps. You will not recognize anything anymore."

And now i think i realize what you really mean.

You are talking from "walking in the dark". So you mean the GPS-Monitor-Screen, right?

This single screen could easily being reversed. I would recommend that as an option to Tom, too. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Sounds like a familiar request.. :) http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3645805&postcount=249

I too would love some simple color scheme management.. My other geocaching program I have a daytime, a high contrast, and a night time color scheme, and I switch between them fairly often as I need to.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] shaggyguitarist:
Map colours dont need to be changed, as the colours used on the maps are not eye splitting in the dark. Its really just the main pages with white backgrounds which could be altered.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Boyo:
Tom,

Found two issues today, one is I have a cache that was a multi with several stages. I did an export GPX and imported it into GSAK but it didn't send the way points with it.

The other issue that I had really had me puzzled and rather aggravated while getting eaten by mosquitoes. The Inventory button is not working on Post Log. I tried reload cache, and no luck. Not sure what the deal is with that.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] shaggyguitarist:
One other issue. On the last couple of updates the large red and blue arrows have defaulted back to the smaller ones. I thought I had deleted the "target cursor" file by mistake, and re downloaded and installed, but still didnt work.

Maybe something changed that I didnt understand?

WM2003 release

This thread is really long that I'm sorry if it was written before...

Is it planned WM2003 release?

Thx very much, regards
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] roderickhowie:
Not my clearest post! Sorry.

I get an error when I create this GPX file by exporting from GCzII and then attempt to import it into GSAK or Cachemate. Importing it into GCzII again seems to be OK. I think it is to do with illegal characters being exported by GCzII when it creates the GPX file. I think these characters are stripped out of the GPX files created by GC.com, so any files downloaded are fine. These characters appear between the long and the short descriptions.

I hope this is clearer. Thanks.

I'm not sure about this.

But if you mean, "7Au????" in the GPX file.

(Please see the attached file. It was exported by GC.com)

============

</a></center>

7Aù?????</groundspeak:short_description>

============

Is it no problem if import to GSAK or Cachemate directoly? (without GCz)

So, GPX file which is exported by GC.com works GSAK or Cachemate even if it contains "7Au????" like?

thanks

tom
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] roderickhowie:
It is the character directly after "7Au????" that causes the problem - they are visible on the GC web pages but are not present in the GC GPX file.

View attachment 215088

The top section of the image is from the GPX file created by GCzII and the lower one is downloaded directly from GC.com. Notice the position of the character in the top section is at line 33: offset 0 which is indicated by the error message in my previous post.

View attachment 215089

Removing the character at 33:0 allows the GPX file to be imported into GSAK or Cachemate. The pictures aren't the best quality due to the size limitations on the site but if necessary I can put them elsewhere.

Thanks.

Was just curious on your thoughts were in having the option to remove the "Posted using GCz" when posting a log. Although I personally dont care about it, some people are pretty fussy when it comes to GC's Terms of Use as apparently they seem to say the program violates it. I wouldn't want anyone to be banned because of using a program?

Hi jyetara,

Honestly, I don't care to remove "Posted using GCz.
