busy circle turned

:confused: I´ve installed every update!!! but this actual version (vers. 13)was the first one, where I have to restart my PPC.

I started the programm and just I saw the busy circle turned and turned and turned..... I reset! I don't know what has changed.

After the restart I tried again ... and now it seems to work fine :D, I stay on with it!

Thanks

I have install _13. Then i copy the Files GCzII_NoDLL.exe and GCzII_NoHW.exe in the same folder.

I start _13.exe. The busy circle turned and... -> RESET.

I start GCzII_NoDLL.exe.... the same effect

then GCzII_NoDLL.exe ... the never ending story -> RESET

Nothing work.

I copy the Installfolder from SD-Card/Programme to /Program File

The same.

Only Version _06 from SD-Card works and work and works........ :-(

GCzII version 13 *DOES* work on Hermes 300

Just tried installing version .13 on my old HERMES and it works OK first time no reset or anything. Didn't have to copy over any different exe's or dlls.

The actual radio or arial is faulty on this device so can't connect via the phone network so had to set the proxy settings to use our works email via activesync, and even this worked fine.

[Edit] .. just thought, I have actually upgraded to ROM on this phone so its actually running Windows mobile 6.1, maybe that has some significance ?

Little problem.

Hello Tom.

I had got a problem.

It is no problem at all to get a cachelist.

I used it by my GPS and by location.

My MDA Vario III from T-mobile connects to the internet and gets al the information.

I had a problem when trying to see the details. Solution: Delete cookies, restart internet explorere, put the speedmanager off, and it works.

I really like the program, it has all I want to. Maybe in the furture GPX support, but it is a beautiful program.

What also would be great, is a possibility to make a tomtom POI. Than you can search a cache, put it in your TOMTOM, Get to the place, use GCzII to find the cache. Ideal.

Greatings:

SJoerd.

P.S. I have attached my logs.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Huego:
Hey tom!

Now I use your program for nearly four months and I need to say "thank you" for all your development work! To me GCz is indispensable for caching.

Mostly I leave my Garmin at home and only use my Touch HD, even on planned tours, not only for on-the-fly-caching. I think the overall usability is great, in some details I can imagine some improvements.

I like the way you interact with the users! I think you would have enough work with implementing essential functions and bugfixes (and updating the parsing module caused by nasty html changes of gc.com), but you also implement new features. Marvellous!

I myself am currently coding an application for loading cinema information onto mobile devices (WinMo of course). I need to parse many data from very diverse (HTML) websites of local cinemas. I programmed a very flexible parser for my server application which makes intensive use of XPath http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XPath expressions.

When I want to add a new cinema in another city to my Database, I only need to modify an XML template which contains XPath expressions for every data field (Movie name, genre, showtimes, duration, description, picture, trailer-URL, etc.). These XPaths point directly to the specific html tags which contain the needed info.

I think this approach could be very userful for GCz as well (If you don't already use that internally). I use the parsing library "HtmlAgilityPack". It can navigate directly to XPath tags. I think it's not the only one which is able to but I can recommend it.

It's only an idea but perhaps it is not bad. Who knows ;-)

I have one request: I often have the situation that there are coordinates in the description text but no waypoints because the owners didn't create those. My idea:

Mark the coordinates in description text, context menu: "Create Waypoint"

GCz parses string and fills Lat/Lon fields. For verification by user it would be nice to see the original string in an infomational textbox on the same form. BTW: In my opinion the context menu thing would not be easy because IE renders description, but as a workaround we users could copy the coordinate string and the programm pastes this in the New Coordinate form (Extra button "Parse from Clipboard").

I have some more wishes, but I think they are more abstract. Favourite lists for cache tours etc., former mentioned waypoint projection.

This is not a "high priority" request [BTW you, tom, decide what you implement and what not :-) ] and even without that the program is my favourite WinMo application (maybe killer app) since my first HTC Blue Angel

Keep up the good work!

Hi kukuwaja

First time I saw the busy circle on my hermes.

I did not soft reset immediately.

So, I opened Settings > Memory > Running App.

Stop GCzII. then launch GCzII again. It works.

SO, If NoDLL and NoHW not work on your hermes.

I have no idea any more....

PS) I did HARD RESET my Hermes to make sure.

Install GCzII_20090610_0900_0233_13.cab.

Then start GCzII.

It shows error dialog. [COM0 4800 Open failed].

(After that GPS disabled automatically.)

Anyway, Press "Go" button then it shows the Cache List with no problem.

(But it not 3G, I just tested with WiFi.)

So, I can not see your issue clearly.

Never launch??? Can not see top screen?

or After press "Go" button???

Please explain your symptom wherever possible.

thanks

tom
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
When GCzII won't launch for me, I can't do anything except reset. :(

I've done some investigating, but really haven't gotten very far.. Some interesting info.... At version 10 or older, I can see descriptions.. I can't see them, or hints, etc, in 10 or newer. Other odd tidbit, I seem to get boxes or *** every so often, after which my registry (hklu\software\nique) also contains *** or boxes. Not sure why/when this happens, just seems to happen every so often.

Back to the lockup problem, even back to version 06, if I load a bunch of stuff in ram and try to launch GCzII, it just spins forever. I suspect it's a memory allocation thing and something bad happens if there isn't enough to start up, but I'm totally guessing here. Perhaps also why it always works from a reset, but doesn't other times.

I'm loading Resco Explorer, Iris, Facebook.. Says I have 44m of ram left at this point, but having all of those launched then launching 06 makes it lock up (spinning busy) every time.

Tom please let me know if there's anything else I can try to help figure this out!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Gech:
I tested GCzII on my Kaiser. Free RAM size is 63MB.

Because I install anything except GCzII.

I use several devices to do testing.

Universal, Hermes, Treo750, i780, Kaiser, Touch, Touch Dual, Diamond, Touch Pro,

Cavalier, S720, S740,

(All devices not install any application except GCzII.)

But I can not reproduce the symptom.... hmmm

If possible, full backup device and hard reset then install GCzII only.

I have not got any hint to solve your issue. :<

thanks

tom

PS) How many guys encounter this issue?

kukuwaja and khaytsus others???
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kukuwaja:
Ok! I have Hardreset my Hermes. After this, there RAM size was 47MB.

GCz_II _13 run :-) Only this Program was installed.

I play back the Fullbackup. Now the RAM size was 11MB.

I click on _13.exe the busy circle turned and turned.

No Startscreen, nothing else as the busy circle.

I think it is a Memory-Allocation Problem.

Thanks Kukuwaja
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Draque:the_Plaque:
Big Thank you from me!

Using it since 20th May activley and it is working great for me on my Diamond.

If i could make a feature request it would be:

1. possibility to have 2 gps inputs (one for internal not so accurate gps, and the second for a bluetooth gps for example. Normaly i drive with my bike to the cache location using the internal one and then i have to switch to the external gps for exact location of the cache)

2. Export TomTOm POIs from a downloaded cache list.

You would have to ask for a name and then save it in the ov2 format to the Map Folder of TomTom. I Attach an example how it would looks when Cachewolf creates a TomTomExport:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jack_Brody:
saving wpt without coordinates

Hi Tom,

could you do this small fix/change - please allow saving waypoint if no latitude and longitude are given. I wanted to prepare final waypoint of one multicache in advance and copied the formula from a long listing (which I wouldn't like to visit again since it renders slowly) to its description, but then was not able to save it without coordinates.

I put in some fake coords for now, but it would be comfortable if one didn't have to do this.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] marcuswar:
Huego,

Similar idea to a suggestion I made ealier about using Regular Expressions to describe where data exists in the HTML pages. This way the expressions could be stored as seperate text dcuments that GCzII could read in, and if the HTML pages changed we would only need to rewrite the text documents accordingly to fix it , rather than Tom having to amend his source code and issue a complete new .exe

Great minds think alike Huego :)

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 :D

Marcus
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] marcuswar:
Interesting idea, but since most caches are off the main road network, I'm not sure how TomTom would create a navigation route to them? Would it just not keep saying "no route to destination found" ?

Marcus
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
TomTom will often tell you some dumb directions, but generally it does get you there as long as you pay attention. Like a cache in a park, it might suggest you drive up into someones driveway rather than the park entrance on the next road, but generally it'll get you close. Particularly nice in the dark, or in an unknown city.

I still think that a TomTom itinerary list makes more sense, as you can navigate to, check, of, navigate to the next all without having to do anything else. If you create an ov2, you have to then search for the POI, navigate to it. Then next time same.. But perhaps I think this because I generally already have the POI's in TomTom if they're nearby, and yet still creating an itinerary list is more convenient. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jack_Brody:
I agree as well, good idea. Tom, consider adding this to your to-do list. :)

It could be right under the "Add Waypoint" menu entry. It would open standard add-waypoint form and fill the coordinates parsed from the clipboard, so the user would have chance to correct them before saving if GCzII couldn't do the parsing job right.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nosdrahcir:
I'm getting the cache not found problem when I click on a single cache.

When I click to download all, it says 0 Cache(s) / 1.0 MB

I've searched for advice on this thread:

- I've checked username and password are correct

- Waypoints agreement is done.

- I've allowed cookies in PIE

- I'm on o2 UK and using a WM6.1 Tytn II

Do I have to be a Premium member at geocaching.com for this to work? Is that the problem?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] marcuswar:
Are you running the latest version i.e. .13 ?

If so enable logging and click the cache again, when it fails go the filemanager and look in the HTTP_Log directory under the installation directory for GCzII. You should see a series of files which are the web pages retrieved for parsing at each stage, you can open these up in a web browser to see what the server returned etc.

Look to see if you have a file 09_CacheDetail this is the Geocaching.co page for the Cache you clicked on. If you click it and view it does it look correct ?

Check the 01_LoginAuth and 02_LoginResult to see if GCzII logged into Geocaching.com OK

No.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] marcuswar:
Would it not be simpler to add the new menu option to the waypoint screen itself ,so that you would copy the coordinates to the clipboard then use menu "Add Waypoint" and then click the new menu (or button ?)on the waypoint entry screen to "paste from clipboard" ?

This then gives you the option to copy new or amended co-ordinates into existing waypoints you've created rather than having to always create a new one.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Huego:
Good evening!

I prefer the solution with an additional button/menu item "Get from clipboard" because it won't add any new forms to the user interface. I like that slick way of GCz with few and unique (which means easy to use) forms for user interaction.

In my opinion a context menu in description browser (on selected text) would be the cherry on the cake. But I think it is not as easy to implement because the description view is based on a webbrowser object which simply embeds Pocket IE to the application.The problem is you can't easily change right click behaviour of a foreign application which is embedded. It's not a real part of GCz but a wrap of regular IE which isn't managed by the programmer. Maybe I am wrong, but I think this is very likely because it is the usual approach.

I have another question:

In version 0.2.33.11 (I don't know precisely, but I think it was before the waypoint UI change) it was able to edit existing (red) waypoints. In version 0.2.33.13 it is only possible to duplicate red waypoints and then edit the new (blue) waypoints. It liked the old behaviour because of some multicaches which already have empty waypoints for the different stations. With the old version I could save coordinates with less clicks.

I think you intended that, but I don't understand why. Perhaps I miss some new feature for that in the context menu... I am simply helpless ;-)

I really hope that I do not claim too much. I must explicitely say that I highly appreciate your work! I admire you because I would never be able to manage such a big project.

Greets

Huego

//edit:

Sorry Jack_Brody, I misunderstood your idea with "Add Waypoint" menu item. I need to give you my full support because it would be a shortcut to the "New waypoint" form with already pressed "Create from clipboard" button. That's very near to my context menu propose.

In my opinion there's nothing indicated against coexistence of both (Add Waypoint menu item AND seperate button on the form) because the button has the advantage that you can paste waypoint strings from every text even beyond GCz and you can modify existing WPs, whereas the menu item is quicker for new WPs.

Sorry for my reading error (you even wrote "standard add-waypoint form")!

Yes I'm running .13

Couldn't actually find an option to enable/disable logging but it seemed to be doing it anyway. I've attached the log, but having looked through it seems to match what I see online.

Oddly if I use the Google Maps option it plots them successfully on there.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] azizz:
had the same problem, i ve changed my details and mail address 2 days ago and i simply forgot to re-validate it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] marcuswar:
Looking at the 09_CacheDetails entry in your logs, it looks like you aren't validated. If you copy the file to your PC and run it up in a web browser (you can do it on your phone its just easier to see everything on the desktop PC), you can see the co-ordinates are displayed as ??? / ??? and there's a message further down on the screen saying ; "Please note: To use the services of geocaching.com, you must agree to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer"

Please check that you have validated your account and agreed to the waypoints agreement.

Thank you for GPX import option. Are you planning to add also GPX export feature? It could be really helpful where is problem in place with GSM signal to use Google maps correctly. With this feature I can export cache or caches to some offline map software. It can save also money to people who don’t have flat GSM tariff.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] abumaia:
thanks also for the gpx import. is there some way to get the imported caches to show distance and bearing from current location like the regular search-near-location caches?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Geinponem:
GREAT GREAT GREAT

I use this tool since update 0.0.32.

Thanks for all those frequent updates.

The tool becomes every day better en better.

With the new possibilities of downloading spoilers en importing gpx-files it's almost perfect.

I have 2 suggestions to make this tool complete:

- 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]

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

I hope you can/will make this. Succes!

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] realhuette:
Again did some "real" caching with GCz II. Thank you again for that great program!! What is really wunderful ist the awesome good display of complicated multi and mystery listings with pictures, tables etc.

I just have problems with the GPS-Monitor. Arrows jump in all directions, distances jump from 10 to 6 to 124 to 12 to 5 meters and so one. I think the main problem is that the GPSr of my MDA vario III is not good at low speed. But with that I have big problems reading the "radar" of the GPS-Monitor.

My suggestion: could you implement a switch between the radar and a single arrow pointing to the target? As it was in the earlier versions of GCz? I would use the simple arrow when I'm far away and the radar on the last meters.

Btw, what does the option " GPS accuracy" mean? What's the difference when I select a high or low value?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nosdrahcir:
Thanks for your help. Seems that it wasn't refreshing in GCZ after I had validated - I deleted cookies and temp internet files in PIE and that fixed it!

Seems like a great app!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] marcuswar:
Glad you got it sorted :D

I guess thats one more thing to to remember for when the next person has a problem.:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 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?

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.

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. :)

Jack
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Huego:
+1 for that request from me! Although I have a 1GB data flat, in the field it would be nice to have quick downloads (because the GSM/3G receiption isn't always good) with only the essential data. Would it be possible to monitor the download (Status messages: download xx percent completed, parsing, etc.)? Few times I missed a cancel button because of really bad data connection so I needed to soft reset my device to use it furthermore, because the download didn't proceed. But that i an issue which does occur very very rarely.

Thank you for the GPX import function! I like that because it's very useful for trips planned on "real" computers e.g. using GSAK. GCz has developed from an on-the-fly-caching tool to an ultimate solution which has the potential to be better than conventional equipment. Very great! Sometimes I miss a magnetic compass but unfortunately this is not supported by our hardware ;-) ...IPhone 3GS... IN NO WAY!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] toshe:
Just installed this tool on my TyTN II, and found my first cache!

Fun! But using the internal GPS really drain battery!

I got an external TomTom bluetooth GPS MKII, and in TomTom there is an option to choose the bluetooth receiver, which saves battery and according to the above probably also is more accurate.

Does anyone know if it is possible to use the bluetooth GPS in CGz already?

It would be nice to have it as an option in the GPS config of CGz, like Draque:the_Plaque suggests.

Edit: Been going through most of the pages here now, and I can see the Tilt/internal/external GPS has been touched, and that there has been some software changes. But my main concern I guess, is to be able to choose only to use the external GPS, making sure the internal GPS is turned OFF.

Edit 2:(sorry) Installed GPSFranson and see if I can manage...

Hi

This afternoon, I went out to seek caches for GCzII field test. ;D

I realized some UI and behavior are not good to use it.
