Missing waypoints

Hi, I have few things

1) missing waypoints in cache GC1JMJ7:

this cache (damn, can't put link here ... ) contains 16 waypoints on web, but GCzII detects and downloads only 13 of them ( <GCz_waypoint_cnt> is 13 ).

my GCzII version is 2.35.48 and I tried remove this cache from Cache_DB

2) it's possible to collect also waypoint Lookup while downloading cache?

some cachers are referring to waypoints (Prefix|Lookup|Name|Coordinate) by name and some by lookup.

3) it would be nice to have hint encrypted in xml file ( <GCz_hint> ) because now I accidentally readed it before realizing what it is. But I guess there is not much ppl digging inside those xml files :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SecretAgentMan:
HERE is your link. You're right, GCz only downloads 13 of the 16 waypoints. There may be a coded limit in GCz. Tom will have to add this to is issue list.

Don't know what to say about the hint encryption. Just make sure you don't accidentally press the "hint" button. If you're poking around in the xml, then you're on your own! :D

Hi

I installed development tools like Visual Studio and others yesterday.

Then tried to build GCz and worked.

So, I will have summer vacation from Wed. I will ckeck the issues on the vacation.

Thanks

Tom

There is a post about 6 posts above yours. May I suggest that you provide the information that post requests so someone can help you? There is not a thing we can do with your totally vague information, since we don't know what version you're running or if you have taken the basic steps to resolve your problem. Check the section entitled "How to Keep from Getting FLAMED when posting about GCz Crash Issues."
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SecretAgentMan:
@ Tom,

One of the issues that seems to arise after a new build is that old caches in \Cache_DB cause issues. Presently, when GCz is uninstalled in anticipation of a new install, those files are not deleted. You might want to consider deleting the files in \Cache_DB during your uninstall routine so that the older ones will not cause issues.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Gech:
Here is the issue list which are raised.

1) Search by Trackable Item NAME not working

=> This is not issue but limitation because it has not implemented yet.

2) Inventory (TB’s) not available to drop when logging

=> Need to check and fix if so.

3) Found caches not indicated by blue or red tick immediately after logging

=> Need to know more detail to reproduce it.

4) missing waypoints in cache GC1JMJ7: (13 of 16)

=> Need to check and fix if so.

thanks

tom
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paulloft:
Thanks Tom.

I think number (3) might not be a bug after all. Someone reported it and when I did a test on one of my own caches I managed to reproduce it.

But I logged one cache on Saturday evening and 4 yesterday, and in all cases the ticks were there correctly.

As no one else has reported this issue or responded to my request for confirmation that the problem exists I would ignore it for the time being.

(2) is a problem, my inventory box was greyed out all weekend. In my inventory I have one item, my own geocoin, which is not in my private collection and should available to place in caches - it is on the list of TBs when I log on the gc.com website.

I agree with Secret Agent Man though, I think the contents of Cache_DB have to be sacrificed during a new installation, as it does seem to cause problems after a new version is installed and people can't get the new version working.

Have a great vacation.

Paul
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paulloft:
Hmmm, what are you uninstalling and reinstalling?

The latest version (.48) is not an install as such.

If you have uninstalled your old version (.47) you need to reinstal it then overwrite just the GCzII.exe file with the one provided by Tom. See my post below.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sigi_cz:
deletion of Cache_DB seems to be solution for lots of problems, but ...

I don't want to lose notes from caches (eg long multicache or pre-solved mystery) and custom waypoints.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pzYsTorM:
Hi,

I have another problem with .48:

The context menu does not work anymore in the cache list. And I cant open any cache details. Nothing happens. No error message. No menu appears (just the outlines for a split second).

I upgraded to .47 yesterday because of the "cache not found" problem in .45

And today I upgraded from .47 to .48 because of the click problems (no menu, no cache details)

I have WM5 on a IPAQ 4700. The geocaching website language is english, of course.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paulloft:
If deleting the Cache_DB folder is part of the installation, then you would have to take a copy of the folder before installing a new version, then copy it back after installation.

The existing DB folder does seem to create a lot of problems judging by the number of people reporting problems here - I've lost count of the number of times we have had to advise people to do that to get rid of the cache not found error.

The other way would be to store all your notes and corrected coordinates into something like GSAK and then create a filtered GPX file from GSAK to put the caches back into GCz and keep those in a special list.

We'll see which way Tom decides to go on this.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paulloft:
You didn't just try to install the GCzII.exe file on it's own did you??

If you did then it won't work. You have to install a full version (cab file) first and then replace just the exe file, as the exe file is not the full program in itself.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pzYsTorM:
I installed the .45 with the cab file and this version worked perfectly until 25th July (approx.). Now it says "cache not found" on each cache.

For the upgrade to .47 and the .48 I've just replaced the GCzII.exe
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Micha_X1:
I found the reason for the issue.

I emptied the Cache_DB folder, opened a existing cachelist and downloaded all Caches again. After that, the red hook or tick wasn't visible.

But when I search for one ore more caches completely new (without using the old cachelist) and create the cachelist(s) new, everything works fine and I can see, what caches I have already found.

Perception: Never use an old cachelist :p
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paulloft:
OK. The problem might be your upgrade to .47 which can't be done with a simple swap of the exe file.

Install version .47 again using the cab file on Tom's Nique page (link in my post here). This will overwrite any previous installations.

Without launching the software, delete the gczII.exe file.

Replace it with the v.48 exe file from Tom's post (link in my post here)

Delete the Cache_DB folder contents.

Launch GCzII

You should then have exactly the same setup as I have got.

Report back what happens and if still problems we will try and help :p
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paulloft:
Great - that confirms what I found - a new cache download works fine, one from the DB folder gives problems.

Another good reason why I think the cache_DB folder does have to be removed during installation of a new version.

Thanks for reporting back, it helps us establish what is causing these problems for future users :)

Cache not found error

Post updated to reflect Tom's new released and moved here
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Micha_X1:
Sorry, but had deleted the content of the folder "Cache_DB", so there was no data in this folder. But I used an existing cache list (*.xml in folder Cache_List) and reloaded all caches (Download all Caches) from the old list. After that action I couldn't see the red ticks.

Then i took the first cache of the old list and searched for caches nearby and see... there they are.

So maybe the red ticks are also saved in the XML-Files in the folder Cache_List!?

However... we have the solution :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paulloft:
Ah, I understand now. Thank you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jake Bullit:
Thanks ,yet again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Gech:
Red tick icon info is a part of Cache_DB folder but not XML file.

It is just a zero byte file. :D

I dont remember the file name exactly but

Xxxxxx.fit

Xxxxxx.dnf

Xxxxxx.(blue tick)

Xxxxxx.dis

Like.... they are all zero byte file.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sigi_cz:
i believe .xml files are those making problems, so .wpt (custom waypoints) and .pwi (notes) files can stay.

maybe there should be also button to clear Cache_DB in options menu.

But as you say "We'll see which way Tom decides to go on this".

How to Solve Most GCz Crash Issues

There are several things that seem to cause GCz to crash. The typical complaint is that GCz crashes when viewing a description, sometimes causing the application to close or return a cache not found error.

There are several fixes that typically resolve the problem:

Uninstall and re-install the current version. At the time of this post, the current version is 0.2.35.48. You will need to first load .47 (you will find it HERE) and then load the executable for .48 from here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7513236&postcount=3809 . Just unzip the executable and copy it over the existing .exe on your phone. You'll find the version you have installed by looking at the main screen in the lower left corner.

Find the \Cache_DB folder and delete everything in it. Don't delete the folder, just the stuff inside it. These are older, "cached" entries that can cause crashes.

Make sure that your language setting on Geocaching.com is set to "English".

Review recent posts on THIS FORUM to see if you can find a fix. (http://gczii.newstarforum.com/)

How to Keep from Getting FLAMED when posting about GCz Crash Issues

There are a number of people here willing to help you. But to be honest, we seem to answer the same questions over and over again. We'll be glad to help you, but you need to do your part first. Here's what we suggest:

Read the last 5 pages of posts and try the things that have been suggested. Most of the time, the solution has been posted recently. If you don't want to take the time to read the last few pages, why should we take the time to restate, again, what we just posted not too long ago?

Post the version of GCz that you are using. Believe it or not, there a chance that you may not have the current version installed.

State whether or not you have deleted the contents of \Cache_DB.

Confirm that on Geocaching.com, your language is set to "English".

If you've worked your way through the above and are still having an issue, post using the guidelines above, and we'll be glad to give you a hand. :)

This exe works like a charm on my HTC HD even if sometimes it craches :( like the previous version, I will report them on http://gczii.newstarforum.com .
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Psyberdude:
Thanks Tom.

Some pages back, a suggestion was made to place a TB/Coin icon in the cache list to show caches with trackables in them. I'd like to second this suggestion.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paulloft:
Many thanks Tom, that was a lot quicker than I was expecting!

Having the trackable drop back again is excellent.

Any plans to implement the 'visited' or 'dipping' function that is now available on the website?

I am guessing it would be a pretty tricky thing to implement in GCzII but would be a cool addition.

Also, has there been any more movement from GS on the availability of the API?

There was some talk in the feedback forum that they were considering allowing 3rd party developers access to the API, which I am assuming would help stop your software breaking when the website changed.

Thanks again for the update and for your continued support for this software.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paulloft:
Go to the folder where GCzII.exe is located - use the built in file explorer.

The file is normally in \Program Files\GCzII (or in the same folder on your memory card)

When you have found the list of files with GCzII.exe in it, don't click it with your finger or you will launch the software.

Instead, place your finger on it and hold for a couple of seconds. First the file will be highlighted (black shading through it) then shortly after that a menu will pop up in the middle of the screen.

One of the options on that menu is 'delete'.

Select Delete and the file will be gone.

Navigate to your new version of the GCz.exe file and do the same again (press and hold) and this time when the menu pops up select 'Copy' or 'cut' (doesn't matter which)

Go back to the /Program Files/GCzII directory from where you just deleted your old file and this time, from the menu in the bottom right corner select Edit>Paste.

You should be good to go.

Get back to us if you still have problems and describe at which point you are having the problem.

Is GCzII still opened in the background? Try to restart your phone, cut the new GCzII.exe again and paste it into the GCzII folder with your file explorer. Paulloft explained how to do it.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] derlbear:
Hmm, what have you done until now? You downloaded the file Gech posted, didn't you? Then you copied the file onto your phone. Did you unzip it? Can you see the GCzII.exe that is included?

So you now deleted the old GCzII.exe that is in the GCzII folder. Now you have to cut or copy the NEW GCzII.exe, then go to the GCzII folder and paste it there.

The functions copy, cut and paste can be found where the "delete" function is.

Does that help? I could make some screenshots for you. But I don't really know if you already have the new GCzII.exe on your phone.

Which cab file?

You have one installed GCzII, that's version .47 or .48

You have a GCzII_20100810_1230_49.zip downloaded from Gech's last post.

All you have to do is to extract the GCzII.exe fom the GCzII_20100810_1230_49.zip (the zip file contains the .exe file) into the installed GCzII folder on your mobile / sd card. Or extract the GCzII_20100810_1230_49.zip into another folder and then copy or cut the NEW GCzII.exe into the GCzII folder and overwrite the old one.

Could you please tell us what's on your mobile now?

Do you have GCzII installed (version doesn't matter). Can you launch it?

Do you have the extracted GCzII.exe from the GCzII_20100810_1230_49.zip?

Hi lbloo,

If you find anything on GCz. please let me know.

Hi emmfan,

>>I did encounter one bug on both the Fuze and Tilt. When I searched for caches near my

Thas is very interesting issue.

Please tell me which cache is it? (GCxxxxx)

I will set the dummy GPS location near the cache and test it.

GCz is on the half way to the goal.

I will implement Offline mode next phase.

Please keep trying GCz and feedback anything. ;D

I checked the issue.

I set the dummy GPS location to my device.

Lat: 33.6818

Lon: -117.81057

--------------

Then press "Search for Nearby" button.

GC118Y0, GC11KH0 and GC11K13 exist on the cache list.

(please see the attach picture.)

The cache list seems same below result.

http://www.geocaching.com/seek/nearest.aspx?lat=33.6818&lng=-117.81057&dist=25

So, could you check GCz option?

Menu >> Option >> Caches >> "Show All or Hide finds"

if you already found the caches and checked Hide finds.

The cashes would not be on the cache list.

anyway, thank you for your report!! ;D

Hi Bitte ein Bit

I did below to reproduce the issue.

1) Set Dummy GPS Location near "GC1H3D3"..

2) Press "Search for Nearby Geocaches" button.

3) Get the cache list. (Pic 1)

4) Select "GC1H3D3".

5) Get the cache detail. (Pic 2)

again

1) Set Dummy GPS Location near "GC1GXY9".

2) Press "Search for Nearby Geocaches" button.

3) Get the cache list. (Pic 3)

4) Select "GC1GXY9".

5) Get the cache detail. (Pic 4)

It seem no problem to me.

You said before,

>> I received the list with nearest caches.

You mean, you did use "Search for Nearby Geocaches" button? (GPS)

>> But when I searched for a cache (searching for geocaches)

>> or open one of the caches on the nearest-by list, I get the message “Cache not found.”

I input "GC1GXY9" to textbox ("search by Geocache Code") then click "Go".

and get Cache detail as same as above (Pic 4).

I have not got your issue yet. please explain your steps to reproduce it.

thank you

tom

by the way, which version of GCz you are trying?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Bitte ein Bit:
Hi Tom,

I make 2 actions.

First start the list caches nearby. The list is produced. But when I want to open one of the caches on the list, I get after a while the message "Cache not found".

Second action is searche for a cache by input "GC1GXY9" on the main screen then "go" and after a while I get the message "Cache not found". I didn't get pic 4.

After reading the post about WAP and Proxy I asked my son this evening. He thinks that that could be the problem. I need to change a setting by my provider. Something with "speed-manager" on/off.

I use the latest version of GCz.
