Thank you verry much for your fast check and reply! =)

Here a few	explanatory notes:

1) I wrote "static map/Statische Karte" not "map/Landkarte" so that everbody who use the App the first time see a clear difference between the static map and the the google online-maps part.

2) I wrote the "not recommended/nicht empfohlen" because it was a comment by tom in this forum - but I think its not so important we can delete it. (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3890019&postcount=724 > That' why I don't recommend to use "Manage GPS Automatically" instead of COM port.)

3&4) your are right!

5) some friends I asked knew the word "Feldnotizen" but probably we should better keep the english "Field Note"!?!

6) here I don't agree with you, I think we should translate it as well. I mean the whole gc.com site is in english there is no NEED to translate ANYTHING because every cacher understand that. But in all my Logs, cache-Meetings or at the german geocashing-sites (opencashing.de etc) there are the german words used for this! there a some words that must be kept in geocaching-slang but this ones I would translate ;) what do u think??

@Arrakis_cz: just use the website http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/map_input?form=googleearth there u can upload the GCzII-Log file and get a nice google earth kmz! =)

Now... 4 hours to sleep, than I fly away.

See u in a week. Happy Caching!

I could be wrong, but I dont believe this issue was present several versions back. I can't tell you though what version I was using the last time I went out.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] derlbear:
Changed back.

Not changed.

Feldnotizen is okay. We'll get used to it :-)

Not changed. It's ok :-)

Therefore I found some other spelling mistakes, let another person check it and I think that we now have a FINAL GERMAN VERSION 0.1 :-) This .zip contains all three files.

Here you are, Tom.

Hi everyone

This is a two part question.

1. Is there a pda/phone that runs WM, has sirf star III standard gps and has built in compass? I have looked on pdadb.com but not found anything that strikes me.

2. Tom, have you any plans to support a built in compass in your already brilliant software?

Thanks in advance for any replies.

Dave.

Hi Tom,

what about the export function. Are you working on the problem with html-tags in cache-descriptions??

Regards,

Daniel
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tboy2000:
Sorry but there are 147 pages to go through and not sure if this has been answered.

I tried geocaching for first time today but am confused on the compass screen. I see a red dot, an orange dot, a red triangle a blue triangle and green perimeter arrow. What do they mean? Am I supposed to head for the green arrow or head for the red dot? is the red dot the target or the orange dot etc? Is there a manual or can someone help?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] derlbear:
Red dot: cache location

Orange dot: This is the position of the sun :-)

Red triangle: direction to the cache location

Blue triangle: direction you're going to

green arrow: this is north

You're supposed to head for the red dot (going to the direction the red triangle shows). If that is the case, the blue and the red triangle overlap.

I don't think that a manual is necessary because the program is quite straightforward. Happy caching!!!

Cheers,

Hi

Here is the German MUI file. (Language pack)

Please check it and let me know.

**** I modified some part of GCzII.exe.rc.txt please use it in the ZIP file if you need to revice. ****

1) Exit GCzII.exe first.

2) Copy GCzII.exe.0407.mui to GCzII.exe same folder.

3) Launch GCzII.exe

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

0407 is locale for Germany but if you use other locale for your device.

need to change the number to the locale.

e.g) My device locale is English but I use Japanese.

English locale 0409

Japanese locale 0411

GCzII.exe.0411.mui => rename GCzII.exe.0409.mui

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

thanks

tom

EDIT)

Add "GCzII.exe.german_SKIN.zip" to check graphics.

************** !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ****************

If you need to change something, please let me know.

Also, if it seems OK please let me know. I will make a cab file.

************** !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ****************
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DanGeorges:
I'm actually glad someone asked this question (and I'm even happier someone answered it!).

I've used the program to find one cache this summer, but wasn't exactly sure what all the arrows, dots, etc. meant. I kind of guessed...

Hi Lord.Nibbler

Thank you for the transtation.

So, I checked the files and IMAGE_TEXT.png.txt and IMAGE_TEXT_2.png.txt are not in UTF-16.

Some of French charactors are broken and I can not recognized them.

Please save it in UTF16 and post is again.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hakan42:
Hi Tom,

I'm using 0.2.35.2, and have copied the files GCzII.exe.0407.mui and GCzII.exe.rc into my installation folder (\Programme\GCzII on my device).

I'm still seeing the english in the menus, should I use another version of GCzII?

*Update* I installed 0.2.35.1 from http://www.nicque.com/PQz/GCz_SS.htm, as I noticed on your screenshots that you use that version, but this doesn't change anything, still only english

Regards,

Hakan
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hakan42:
By the way, how about putting the language selection into the menu? e.g., an option in "Menu / Option / Language Settings", where I might see a screen like

[x] Automatic <xyz>
[ ] German (0407)
[ ] English (0409)
[ ] French (04??)
[ ] Japanese (0411)

[OK] [Cancel]

Instead of the <xyz>, you could show the locale number of the device that GCzII is running on, because I don't know how many of your normal users know the locale numbers or know where to google for them.

Regards,

Hakan
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Gech:
Hi

MUI (Language file) is not part of GCz application level.

It is Windows Mobile (also Windows OS) level job.

So, you need to know your deveice locale.

If your device is English, just rename 0407 => 0409.

thanks

tom

EDIT)

Don't need to copy the TXT file but only copy MUI file into GCzII.exe folder.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ep Woody:
Last weekend I went on a small holiday and I used GCzII to keep my descriptions, hints etc with me. Great tool it is!

To give something back at the community I made a dutch translation of the exe file. There are probably some improvements to make, but hey, it's a start.

I was wondering, is it possible to upload the fieldnotes from GCzII directly to geocaching.com? That way I don't have to connect my PDA to the PC, go to geocaching.com acces my fieldnotes, upload my fieldnotes, browse to my PDA, and upload the file. From GCzII it would be a few clicks. Lot quicker :) Maybe even a screen with an overview of the present field notes?

Thanks in advance!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] derlbear:
Hey Tom,

It works great on my device! Some things are still English and other things look weird because they don't really fit. I added some screenshots.

Is it possible to change some of these things or do we have to shorten some expressions?

THANKS,

derlbear

Edit: The screenshots say that version 0.2.35.1 is installed, but it should say 0.2.35.2

Edit2: There are some English expressions in the description. Is it possible to change that, too?

Edit 3: This could solve one problem (Search for nearby.jpg) because it's shorter.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hakan42:
So how do I determine the locale of my device (Sony Ericsson XPeria X1)? It's user interface is in german, but I don't see any way to determine that numerical value (0409) you wrote about.

After I wrote my last message, I installed the japanese cabinet file you have on your web site, after that, all menu entries were in english, but the button descriptions were in japanese. Maybe this bit of information helps you?

By the way, what should be the directory in "Skin" be called for the german images? I see that you have "COMMON", "ENG" and "JAP" for japanese, but neither "DE" nor "GER" worked for the german images.

Regards,

Hakan
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] derlbear:
1. Just overwrite the files in the ENG folder :-) (pictures)

2. Try to rename your MUI file, as Gech said. Rename GCzII.exe.0407.mui to GCzII.exe.0409.mui and copy it into your GCzII folder.

I didn't have to rename anything on my HTC Touch Diamond2.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pingu-net:
Hi derlbear, hi Tom

I have sometimes the same problem. Possible solution: GCzII should make shure that the connecton to GPS ist down before closing.:rolleyes:

Bye Pingu-Net
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Gech:
Hi pingu-net

You maybe miss understanding.

GCz uses GPS but it does not mean control GPS hardware.

GCz just open/close COM port to read NMEA text string from driver that is only software wise.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pennadam:
Decimal GPS Cache Coordinates...

This is a very nice app. Made geocaching much more fun.

I do have a question though. Is there a way to display the Cache coordinates in Decimal format (42.59922 -83.1179) instead of this format: DDD MM.MMM (N 42° 35.953 W 083° 07.074)

Thanks,

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] paulpille:
Does anybody know if there is a possibility to set a waypoint as target of the blue dotted line in the static map view ?

From my point of view only the main coordinates linked to the cache listing are used as target. Hence waypoints of multi or puzzle caches can not be navigated to via this line !?

Hi,

i just tried the GPX-Export... html-tags are still there on Garmin Oregon and there is another problem:

I downloaded 180 Caches to a Cachelist and all of them are shown in GCzII. But when i export them to gpx my Oregon only shows me abou 70 of them.

Therefore i tried to open the gpx in EasyGPS but this results with an error:

The exported gpx is inserted here as an attachment
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hakan42:
There is an illegal character (^D) in line 8292 of your GPX file. Perhaps this one needs escaping, too. This character is in the description of Cache

http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?wp=GC10BEE . Interestingly, the cache description looks broken in Firefox, too. I wonder what a pocket query with that cache would look like...

If I remove this character, xmllint accepts the GPX. I'm attaching the fixed GPX file, could you please try it on your Oregon (mine is in the car, as usual :) )

Regards,

Hakan
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kadango:
thanks hakan,

that's been the fault. now my oregon shows me all of the 180 caches....

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tboy2000:
Thank you Derlbear for telling me what the coloured dots meant :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kinglee:
Instead from using colored dots, I had suggested using cache/waypoints icons instead. The same icons from the WptTypes folders can be reused and this surely will make the GPS Monitor a lot more attractive and less confusing for those having difficulty seeing colors(bright light/color blindness/etc) on the screen. Not a must but surely a good to have.

cheers,
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kadango:
Hi Hakan....

the cache with the fault inside was mine!!!! funny....

but there seem to be more faults on geocaching.com ich descriptions.

I wrote something about it on my blog (in german):

Komisches Phänomen bei gc.com
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Daemonicus73:
Hi Tom,

Went out at the weekend with my family and did some geocaching. Everything worked really well and we completed the cache tour with ease. I just have a few suggestions for your consideration.

1. Would it be possible to have a shortcut to the static maps from the gps monitor page. In the menu under "Google Maps" you could have "Static Maps" and a sub menu containing the link to each static map.... Huge area map, Large area map etc....

2.Would it be possible to customise the static maps a little more or add a larger scale satelite view. The pinpoint map was very useful at the weekend (especially when offroad) but sometimes too close for the situation at hand.

3. I think it has already been mentioned but it would be handy if you could create static maps on the fly from "Target Location" or "Waypoint" coordinates.

Thanks again for all your efforts.

Dave.

-Sorry, i havn´t read all 150 sides so maybe the answer was given before. Is there a way to integrate my own pictures - taken from the camera?

gandalf

P.S. Can you explain in simple english what for the Inventory Button is? The translation doesn´t help me and so it is greyed out, i can´t try out.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] derlbear:
Hi

What do you want to do with the pictures? Where do you want to integrate them :-) ?

The Inventory button is for the Trackables. If there is one in the cache, you can click the button to get more information about the coin/travelbug.

German:

Wenn ein Geocoin oder ein Travelbug im Cache ist, kannst du durch den Knopf da mehr darüber erfahren. Also was das für ein Ding ist, wohin es gehen soll, Logeinträge und mehr.

Hi Tom

What's new in this version? (GPX export fix?)

:confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hakan42:
Hi,

using 0.2.35.5 just now with the german skin cabinet file.

I left the name of the mui file as .0407, this gives me the menu entires in german, but the buttons are not displayed, as you can see in the second screenshot. I checked the filesystem of my phone (SE XPeria X1), and there is a folder "DE" in Skins, which contains the necessary images.

By the way, do you intend to make the skin files AppToDate-aware, too? I simply love clicking on one button and have my GCzII updated wirelessy over-the-air :)

That is bug fix and optimized for skin support.

No new features.

josep sarrio

>> I think the track-log does not record correctly NMEA sentences.

I guess you check on "Manage GPS Automatically".

It means that uses WM GPS API and the API does not return NMEA string data.

Just return some info structures.

GCz emulates some NMEA sentence to use internally. (to make a compatibility of COM port)

And the NMEA text implemented minimum items to work GCz.

Please make a list of HTML tag which you see on the GPX.

I want to intergrate the picture into the cache . Maybe under description or notes.

My wish is to take a picture of the cache ( or maybe on the way to it ) i found . And it must be a easy way to take it and save together with the cacheinformation so that it is also easy to look at it later.

Sorry, my computer-knowledge is not big, so maybe there is no way to do it.

By the way- another wish ( only a wish- I am ike all users-want more and more....) Voice recording in the same easy way would be fine also. for example: If it is raining it is esasy way to give in comments.

Even if it is not possible i had to say once more: Many thanks from me ( and from many other) geocachers for this very fine program !!!!:)
