This doesnt work for me, I tried it this afternoon 4 times.

I search for a list of caches based on either GPS location or postcode.

Once the list is built I exported to GPX.

I then went back to the start page and using the 'cache list' menu option I imported that same GPX.

This loads the list of caches again. However when I open any of the cache pages there are no GPS co-ordinates, and there is no description for the cache whatsoever.

I went back to the list and tried to view the list of caches in Google Maps btu that wont work, because there are still no coordinates.

Looks like I will have to wait until there is some kind of update before I can go geocaching again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SecretAgentMan:
Are you a Premium Member? PMs tend to get more data like coords downloaded to their lists. I'm not absolutely sure this is the issue, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] eriche:
parsing API

I would like to see an API where we could have a script to fix parsing error from the geocaching site ourselve,...

Then we would have a working version after some hours when GC.com changes :rolleyes:

Isn`this a good idea :cool:

GreeT`s Erich
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] klatom:
Well, in general, it is. Maybe not API, but some configuration file, where the elements/borders/positions are located. BUT I don't know if that's so easy and of course it depends on Tom if he would like to have it this way.

I assume it can be a list of regular expressions. Very ugly ones, but still, regular expressions. So anyone who knows how to use them would be able to change the conf file if needed (and place it here for everyone else).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Psyberdude:
There definitely seems to more to the "cache not found" issue than is normally the case.

I've been using the softwere for a long time and I am used to dealing with the issues surrounding GC updates. But normally this is not too bad because I can import a GPX file from GSAK or a PQ, with all the details I need. However, this time, no matter what I try, the import stalls and I eventually have to force GCzII to close in order to stop it, with result that nothing is imported.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Titus_Andronicus:
GPX import works fine for me. Maybe you should try the usual fixes.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paulloft:
New, working, version 73 on Tom's site for download now :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] klatom:
.73

Tom, here is one big THANK YOU for all of us. Version .73 works again! :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pleswi:
Great, Thank you Tom, you are our God :) Greetings from czech republic :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nunome:
Thank you

:)It keeps using GCzii until "HP iPAQ rx5965" that I am using breaks.

Thank you for Mr. Tom.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] AndrewTheMan:
Hopefully unrelated, but after using AppToDate to patch GCzII my Touch Pro 2 is stuck in an endless reboot cycle. The program worked when my phone did though!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SecretAgentMan:
I just used AppToDate and didn't have any issues, FWIW. AppToDate noted both the GS and non-GS versions. I de-selected the non-GS version before I updated.

I'm on a TP2.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ispartacus75:
Im on TP2 here aswell and no issues.

On a seperate note does anyone know whether the user options remain after an update? I have just set the options so that I am not shown caches I own or have found. Are these options reset in an update or would they remain after the next update?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SecretAgentMan:
I have user options set under Search Settings, and those options have remained as I set them for at least the last two updates.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ispartacus75:
Thats great, thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Psyberdude:
Its always done so for me too, so it is very odd. But .73 has sorted out all my problems, including this one, so once again all is good with the world :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] klafri:
.73

Many thanks Tom for the new version. Everything is again o.k.

Many greetings from Germany
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pazax:
Thanks, now is the beter way for my ****ry and my HTC
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Titus_Andronicus:
My AppToDate didn't note the non-GS version.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ladroege:
Beyond my sincere appreciation for the fast updates I would like to share my update experience.

I am using the non-touchscreen version of WM (STD version) and therefore I have to manually update the executable after installation anyways.

For the last few versions I did not remove/reinstall the whole package, but just exchanged the old .exe file with the new one. This may not be the "officially supported" method but is working for me as of now.

Best regards from Germany,

Lars
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jcroon1:
Anyone familiar with the following?

If I select <menu> <option><manage history> and then select option 4: coordinate, I find 1 coordinate listed 14 times (so 14 time the same coordinate). If 1 select one of these 14, press delete and confirm then nothing happens (for other coordinates mentioned only once it however worked). Is this a bug? (undocumented feature :-) )

I tried to find the file containing the content in order to delete it via the ‘backdoor’ but I cannot find the relative file eather.

This already appeared in the previous version I had, but in interim version 73 it is also there.

Sometimes my GPS also fails to start in GCzii. After I deleted some coordinates it however seems to start. Could there be a relation with this? Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] majkeljj:
when I import 1078 GPX entries from one file GPX import stops every time after 515 entries, is it a limit? I use opencaching with this app so i would like have my opencaching databes on phone all the time that's why i import so many entries in one time.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] obstgarten:
@ majkeljj

i only know that you can't create a list of more than 500 caches. So i only tried to load GPX not more than 500.

@ jcroon1

I have the same Problem. But i noticed when I entry another coordinate it will lost an "bug entry". I also looked at the file about the history but i didn't find it. I find this file Important because when i reinstall the app i have to refill my history again.

regards

obstgarten
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] docfred:
The history items are stored in the registry:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/NICQUE/GCzII/History

I think you can delete it by using a registry editor (e.g. Resco SK-Tools etc)

docfred
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Titus_Andronicus:
Here is your answer:

http://gczii.newstarforum.com/t5-importing-more-than-500-caches

I suspect why it is 515 and not 500 is that 15 are not imported for some reason (errors etc.) Remember that you need to add that registry entry, not modify an existing one!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] obstgarten:
Thanks thats great.

Now we can delete the "bug entrys".
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ricke 59:
Need some assistance. When running GCzII v.73 on my HTC Touch HD all works perfect. When running the same on my friends Sony Ericsson Xperia (WinMo 6.1) we end up with the Internet URL open failed, [01_LoginAuth.html] message.

English is the language on GC.com and Cache_db has been deleted. We also tried with v .72 but has not been ableto make it work at all.

Any suggestions ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SecretAgentMan:
Have they entered their login name and password in Option?

I have also seen that error when I have a weak or non-existent data connection. Have them check to see if they can connect with something else that requires data, such as Google maps.

A few people have had that error here, but I'm not sure if another solution was ever posted. Try searching this thread for 01_LoginAuth.html.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lohtse:
hmmmm just started to get the above error and the following one to "[form point] not found"

happens whether using wifi or 3g.... Also happens on xda orbit wm6.5 kiaser wm6.5 and I-mate PDA-N wm 5.... So is not device specific...Also was working perfectly on 20th may....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SecretAgentMan:
Interesting error. I'm not getting either, but there have been any number of people reporting the 01_LoginAuth.html error using various data connections, OSs and devices. Could anyone who has solved this issue post what they did to resolve it? Thx!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] namhtc:
I've got this error sometimes but it disparead by starting and rebooting the Mobile phone without other change :confused: (remark : my phone is "on" during 5 days or more, I never switch it off during night).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ispartacus75:
Has anyone had any issues since installing .73 with App2Date? I know that .73 is the latest version so there wouldnt be an update yet, but for the alst few days when I run App2Date GczII fails. Up until this point it would say that it was up to date, but now its failing and I am wondering why.

Would appreciate it if another user of App2Date could check for me.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ispartacus75:
Question about offline usage and logging finds.

Planning on caching while we are away on holiday later in the year so this is what I have planned/would like to be able to do.

Create a PQ with all the caches I want to do.

Download PQ to access it offline while I am away

Create logs for each find, but save them on my device till I get back home and then send all the logs at once.

Its #3 that I am unsure about. Is it even possible using GczII? Up until now I have only ever used GczII in online mode so have logged my finds in the field as and when I find them.

I did try to save logs and then upload them in bulk when I had 4 of them, but couldnt figure out how to do it.

Would really appreciate some guidance on this.

Cheers.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lohtse:
LOL already did that(well have been using winmo since ce2 so is and old trick lol)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SecretAgentMan:
I updated using AppToDate when .73 was first released, and it worked fine. I just ran it again and it ran fine. When I update, I'm shown two entries for GCzII, the regular and the GS version. I just update the GS version.

When I ran AppToDate a few minutes ago, it showed one GCzII up to data, and another in need of updating. I'm presuming that the one shown out of date in the non-GS one.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SecretAgentMan:
There are a couple ways to post.

When you find the cache, instead of "Post Log" use "Field Notes". From the empty field notes screen, do Menu, Add and enter your log. Your cache will now be blue-checked (instead of the normal red-checked).

To upload, you have a couple options. You'll find the standard FieldNotes.txt where your GCzII files are stored. You can upload this to geocaching.com just like one from a paperless enabled GPS. You'll have to attach the phone to your computer and select the file through the web site that way.

If you want to use the phone to log the finds to geocaching.com later on, you'll have to do them one at a time:

Open a cache with a blue check

Open the Field Notes list

With the log entry highlighted, Menu, Post Log. You'll get the standard logging screen like you use to post online, with the log entry populated.

Make any changes and select "OK". You'll be prompted to post, just as when you do it online.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ispartacus75:
Sounds like it might be my App2Date then, will try uninstalling and reinstalling.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ispartacus75:
Cheers for this. I was kinda hoping there was a 1 button option from the phone on arriving home to log say 25 finds all at once. But never mind. Will give the fieldnotes.txt option a go in the next day or so and see how that works out.

Cheers again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lohtse:
Well have deleted everything todo with gcz2 even reg entry and reinstalled on all three device mention in post a page back. have tried installing both standard and gs version and still keep getting "{Form Point] Not Found" error when I do a search of any type...Strange as been using GCz for 2 to 3 years if not longer And had no issues like this till now....

Basically GCz is buggered for me and nolonger usable unless someone has an idea as to isse...

A very sad Lohtse
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Titus_Andronicus:
The closest thing to a one click solution is to upload the fieldnote.txt file to http://www.geocaching.com/my/uploadfieldnotes.aspx . I do that quite regularly when traveling, and it is not too hard. I never want to automaticaly submit fieldnotes as logs anyway, as I usualy want to do some editing of the log, and dipping trackables (can't do any trackable stuff with fieldnotes).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Titus_Andronicus:
Are you sure you tried all the usualy fixes? Have you changed your geocaching.com settings recently (default language etc.)?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lohtse:
Yep tried everything and no settings been change at geocaching.com never needed too.... Like have said in an earlier post about a page back was working on all devices on 20th may then 2 days later went to use it and got the error message. tried on PDA-N same issue, tried on XDA orbit same issue(primary is Kaiser) all three devices have same error. all on latest version of gcz.....

Very odd...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SecretAgentMan:
I'd be interested to see what would happen if you tried to log in using another geocaching account using one of the devices you are having a problem with.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Titus_Andronicus:
Are these all with the same provider. Maybe they started blocking a port that Tom uses?

I also like SecretAgentMan's suggestion. Try making a dummy account on GC.com and see if that account will work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lohtse:
phones are on three and t-mobile...Home broadband is talk talk.....so it's not a network thing...As to accounts well we have two accounts(mine and partners) neither work..We have and android phone and works fine with official app and cachemate.....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SecretAgentMan:
Not that I have a suggestion, but I'm curious . . .

What type of accounts are not working? Basic or Premium?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lohtse:
Accounts basic....

GCz was working an all devices upto 20th may.

Uninstalled.Deleted folders and reg entries on all devices. Then reinstalled(tried both standard and GS versions)..

3 different connections, three,t-mobile and talktalk broadband..

two different accounts

and still shortly after clicking the go button get [Form Point] not found....

Can use geocaching apps on HTC hero with no issues...

What ever is wrong is beyond me and now done every trick can think of to sort issue with GCz with no luck...

GCz is broken on my 3 winmo devices....Shame as was best app by far on any device....

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Titus_Andronicus:
I notice that your "Home" coordinates are back in the search field by default. That is nice to have back!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lohtse:
my issue still exist after update on gc.:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paulloft:
It has to be something you are doing wrong somewhere.

You have ruled out it being a device/installation specific issue

You have ruled out it being a corrupt directory issue

You have ruled out it being an account specific issue

Everyone else has ruled out it being a software issue (by virtue of the fact no one else has reported the same problem, despite thousands of people using the software on a myriad of devices in lots of countries)

I bet it is something quite simple and silly we have all overlooked.

The trouble is while I am usually very good at being simple and silly, I can't think what to suggest.

Other than to go back to the very basics and double check all old folders have been deleted before a fresh installation, user names and passwords are correct and don't contain any special characters which might have started to cause a problem (& - _ etc), and that the GPS link is set up correctly.

Other than that all I can do is offer my sympathy at losing this great software on your devices.

EDIT: OH AND TRIPLE TRIPLE CHECK YOU HAVE THE RIGHT VERSION OF THE RIGHT FORMAT FOR YOUR DEVICE.

The fault you describe has appeared before but was fixed in version 44 back in June last year.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lohtse:
Oddly did everything you said....

the crux is "[Form Point] not found" what the heck is it then can sort from there...and very odd effect 3 device about the same time....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paulloft:
You probably know that this error popped up in GCz last May/June time after some changes to the GC.com site. Tom fixed it in V44 and to my knowledge it hasn't happened at any update since (it's always been the 'cache not found' error).

So from that we have to conclude that it was the way GCz interacted with gc.com that causes that error. The problem is we don't know what. Tom probably does as he will have a record of what caused that particular error last time.

But the fact that no one else seems to have the problem now points to you having something different happening in your software to everyone else. And if you are using the same version as everyone else then it has to come down to something that is user changeable in the software, like username, password, or something in the options.

The fact you have the problem on 2 devices suggests whatever it is you have done has been done during both installations.

So I'm trying to think what it might be.

Sorry that sounds like I am putting the 'blame' back on you ;) But as no one else is having the problem you must be doing something different to everyone else. :confused:

OR, do you have anything else installed on your devices which might be working against GCz in some way? Mind you, it would have to be something no one else has got or others would be having the problem too.

A mystery indeed, really wish I could help.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lohtse:
lol 3 Devices not 2.........

And am using latest version.and as stated all 3 device worked on 20th may(was using them and caching as a teaching aid) no new software installed for weeks other than latest version of gcz and no new software after updating....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paulloft:
Did you try setting up a new dummy account at gc.com as suggested earlier and trying that on the phones?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lohtse:
tried the two accounts we have and set a new one up....all same issues....The issue appears a after search/...So say I search a post code sr5 5fr it find it so click on it to download caches and the error... same if you want to download a specific cache etc soon as you try downloading error occurs!!!!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paulloft:
Ah ok, so the initial search works and gives you the summary list, it's just when you try and get the cache details that the error happens. Hmmmm
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lohtse:
nope dont get summary list.. Normal for say postcode search you get a list of possible matches for postcode you click on the one you wish to use and its there it happens..

If I put a cache number in then it happens soon as you click go so would then be cache details....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paulloft:
That's interesting you say 'soon as you click go'

Do you mean if you don't have an internet connection it doesn't even try to make one?

Or does it make the connection, get to the server and then report the error?

Just trying to figure out if the error happens when it starts talking to the server or before it even gets through....

Gotta go now but will be having a think.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vidvandre:
Google map download issues

Unsure when it started, but with recent versions of GCzII I've been having problems loading maps. It usually works for a few caches, then all downloaded maps tiles simply display something that looks like an error icon. This happens both when downloading a single cache or when using the download all caches function.

My guess is that I'm hitting Google Map limits. Though if this is the case, I have no idea for whom (IP, a defined user of some sort, GCzII, etc) the limits are active, what the limits actually are or how long the will last (I've tried waiting 24h+ right now, same issues). Furthermore, I'm pretty sure I've downloaded far less map tiles the last few days then what I've done at earlier (when everything worked).

I've attached a screenshot showing how map tiles are displayed when the problems occur.

Anyone have know what's going on?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Gech:
Hi lohtse,

To know about "[form point] not found" issue.

Have you tried to use other network connection? e.g WiFi/ActiveSycn but not 3G/GPRS.

(I suspect your 3G connection. Mobile operator proxy)

So, if you already have done it.

Send me PM with your GC.com account name and password if you OK.

I will check it when I get it.

After resolved the issue, you can change to new password.

thanks

Regards from Czech rep.

Sry my english
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paulloft:
You are correct.

I read in the release notes that they made changes to the hint field on the website so that long hints did not overwrite the encryption key on the screen.

That must be what broke it.

I've been using GCzII for almost as long as I've been caching and its very very seldom I come across something I can't do with it.

But the other day I was out on a hike, doing a few caches, and I would have really liked to have been able to send the cache list to an OSM map (OSMtracker) because it shows all the trails whereas Google Maps just shows a big green blob.

So my questions is....

1. Does anyone know how to get an OSM layer in Mobile Google Maps,

2. Anyone have any idea how to send the cache list to OSMtracker or

3. Tom, could you please have a look at this and perhaps make an option to send caches to OSMtracker
