LittleJohn,

I thought we fixed your logging issue, didn't we? Did you get it fixed and it started again?

How many trackables do you have in your inventory?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] piccolino76:

Newbie help with GCzII - 'cache not found'

Hi folks,

I have a very upset 6year old that is desperate to go geocaching but I can't get the app to work.

HTC HD2 win 6.5

ver. 0.2.35.66

installed on storage card but also tried main program folder with no luck

t-mobile

cookies in opera and ie enabled

google maps link correct

geocaching account verified and working through my PC

language in GC preferences set to English

manage GPS ticked then unticked (tried a few options)

proxy settings for connection are greyed out and not ticked

geocoding setting sets to UK (where I am)

tried clearing cache db

I can launch the app, saerch by postcode and get a list, click a cache on the list and....

= 'Cache not found."

Where am I going wrong guys and girls?

Please help :-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SecretAgentMan:
Simple fix. First of all, it's always a good idea to read back through the last 5 pages or so before posting. A lot of times, the fix you're looking for has been posted.

Your problem is that you are not running the current version, which is absolutely important because GC.com changes things on their site that breaks GCzII. You need .68.

Read back about 3 pages and you find a summary post that will point you to where to download the latest update and will give you instructions on how to install it.

EDIT: You can just read the next two posts to get current version info!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Gech:
Ver 0.2.35.68

Ready to use Cab installer. http://www.nicque.com/PQz

Also, AppToDate works.

*) to use Gesture Scrolling, need to download GCzII_xxxxx_GS.zip too.

Log Posting Failure

@ Tom,

I think there is an issue with posting logs, unrelated to the trackables issue.

A few users reported getting a Log Submit error when trying to post a log. The log gets posted to to GC.com, though. I just tested this and got the same error, Log Submit Failed. However, when I checked the cache page on gc.com, the log was there. I have no trackables, so that's not the issue.

.68 GS
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] AngusCS:
Tom

I have the same issue. I logged a cache and received the message that the log had not been saved. I have also noted that GCZII did not record the fact that I had found the cache (No tick) so I logged it again.

GC.COM has recorded both times I logged the cache and now when I download the cache lists again the tick is there.

I am running .68 GS on WinMo 6.5xx on an HD2 and am a Premium Member. I only have two trackables.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] shop:
Aarggghhh.. Wat was i Drinking?

My mistake. I have bought the HD2 recently after i dropped my other PDA in a ditch while looking for a TB-hotel. I was so used to download the first without the GS. That will not happen to me anymore..

Sorry for the misunderstanding.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] docfred:
The advantage of your problem is, that you can easily correct that.:)

That's an unlucky history what has happend to your old PDA, but now you own a very good hardware!

Perhaps Tom can integrate a support for the hardware compass. But this will only be possible if he owns a pda with this feature also.

docfred
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mhuska:
I'm seeing the same thing with the log posting error even though it is posting. I re-loaded v68, I have only 2 items in my inventory, and I deleted the FieldNotes.txt as well to ensure that the problem is not due to this being corrupt.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sf49er:
v68

I also get the same error. I didnt have any trackables in my inventory so that wasnt the issue. And when I did find a trackable I got the same error message logging that, yet the log was actually placed with GC.com

In an unrelated issue I had problems with Sort By> Distance. When I asked GczII to action this it would remove all distance data and the caches would be in no particular order.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vidvandre:
Confirmed. With 0.2.35.68 and no trackables in my inventory; GCzII reports says there's an error with posting logs (and returns to the log-writing screen), the log was however successfully posted to geocaching.com...

This is the familiar "Distance Measurements in Lists" issue. Has been this way for quite some time now (you'll find it as one of the issue's in SecretAgentMan summary posts, newest one is just a couple before your post). Nothing that can be done with this on the application level, only option is to become a premium member (at Groundspeak) or get Groundspeak to change their policies (and make it possible to download waypoints without going through a capatcha)...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SecretAgentMan:
I sort of thought this had been fixed to a point. I'm a PM, so I have not tested basic member functionality. My post suggests using "Download All Caches", "Reload from Cache Detail" or "Menu, Sort By" to get distance measurements. Do none of those functions obtain distances for Basic Members, or does that just allow a Basic Member to get cache size or difficulty info?

If someone will tell me exactly what Basic Members do get, I'll make the post a little clearer.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Gech:
Ver 0.2.35.69

Ver 0.2.35.69

- Post cache log failed issue fixed.

*) GC.com changed Waypoints download method as same as basic member.

T/D, Size will not see without "Download ALL" or "Reload Cache Detail" even if Premium member.

thanks

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] AngusCS:
I have found that if I sort by distance from current location then all the distances come in (as long as I have more than one cache in the list).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] docfred:
I have checked that.

When I (PM) create a list (search by adress), I'll get distance, size, T and D rating. It is NOT nescessary to download all caches at first and then perform "reload from cache detail".

The problem with missing hint images is not yet fixed.

Thanks for you constant work.

docfred
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] AngusCS:
I get distances if I (PM):

Search for Nearby Caches

Search by Coordinate

Search by Postal Code/Address

Search by Cache Code

I do not get distances if I (PM):

Search by Cache Name

Search by Cache Owner

Search by Username (Found)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] docfred:
That is normal, because there is no reference point to calculate the difference. If you sort by distance to a cache, you will get distance und direction.

docfred
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SecretAgentMan:
That will work as long as your list has more than one entry. If your list just contains one item, your "Sort By" menus will be greyed out.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mmaximaal:
Hi,

Version .69 works great. The only problem is to log TB's. When you try to log a TB then you get a message: submit log failed.

But when I look on geocaching.com I see that the TB is correctly logged.

For me is this program the best there is. Even Android can't do what Gech does.

Thanks for this great program.

Max
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SecretAgentMan:
How many TBs do you have in your inventory?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] medwyn:
Geocaching.com HTML code was changed, Gech will probably have to rewrite the code.

100% confirmed.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fab6969:
the searching in GCzII works and gives you results, but no cache informations.

in GCz you can search for waypoints only and get the needed informations to find the cache

i found three caches with this method today.

fab6969
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Boyo:
That's what I was thinking happened.

Gech, I just have to say, your good. I just had two ideas and after looking into both of them, I found for one a reason why it wouldn't work and the second i double checked before opening my mouth and it was already there. You are awesome.

Oh, had a third idea, I had my buddy grab GCz for his phone yesterday, but he found an old version just searching google, not sure how, but he did. Anyways, was thinking, you could include the AppToDate Stub in the installer. Info here - http://www.modaco.com/content/apptodate/267607/developers-apptodate-stub/
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Interesting that GCzII seems to work in some cases, but I guess it depends on what HTML they changed.

Heck, right now I can barely manage to get the geocaching page itself to come up reliably.

But I agree, looks like Tom is unfortunately going to have to tweak the HTML parsing. I wonder if GC's iPhone app, Trimble, etc, have an API they use. I know GC doesn't have a public API (yet).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xhozt:
not just the html issue here the new versions wont work with my incites internal gps ? i get a com error ;-(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Boyo:
Set your com port to 4 in gps settings and try it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xhozt:
nope ,,, hell tryed all of em ..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Boyo:
Did you try to play with the baud settings, I always set mine to Com4, 9600 and leave the third setting alone.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xhozt:
will try right now but i think i did previously
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xhozt:
nope ;-(

{get com status failed

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Boyo:
Other things I could think to try, are do google maps work, i'm assuming you've softreset at least a few times while banging your head against the wall. If google maps isn't working then you may want to check in windows Settings and see if you have a GPS control applet in there, if so make sure it's set to let windows manage.

Umm, that's all I can think of off the top of my head, I dont know much about the incite, using a touch pro here.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Boyo:
Have you tried to see if google maps works? And i'm assuming you have soft reset a few times.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xhozt:
gm and amaze gps run my gps like a top , yep soft reset after each install ,, im wondering if its not talking to the intermedate driver any more in this version ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xhozt:
and yep its set to let windows to manage the gps
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Boyo:
Well that's weird. I'm at a loss then.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xhozt:
yea i mailed the dev about it ,, no reply sofar but with the other issues going on im not surprised

Hi

Thank you for the waiting and sorry inconvenience.

I upload new version of GCz.

http://1942.rocketspace.net/PQzII/GCz_20090522_1200_0032_006.cab

Please try this and let me know if you have any issue.

P.S

GCzII has already been implemented some codes before maintenance of GC.com.

It helps to get Cache List from GC.com. (but Search by Cache Name/Owner not yet.)

Thank you

Have had the same problem in december last year. Thought that they had made major changes, but it was the expired PM-account.

What you haven't fixed in .70 is the problem with spoiler pictures. In versions <.68 pictures have been added a the end of the caches description.

For Example: GC1CANX Brunnencache -Gaenspeterbrunnen

The website shows 3 additional images (GC1CANX_gc.jpg)

I have loaded the cache description with an earlier version of GCzII.

The cache description shows the 3 images as "spoiler" below the maps (GC1CANX_56days ago.jpg).

I've now load the description again (GC1CANx_now.jpg) and here is nothing (no images) below the map section.

one problem. it won't load googlemaps.

it says program files/googlemaps/googlemaps.exe not found yet when I GOTO that location I can clearly see googlemaps.exe is their fine.

suggestions? is it maybe looking for it on internal memory? I have it on the SD card.

how do I make it look on the SD card for it or can I create a short cut to send it their or something?

Spoilers not load

I use GCzII for 2 years. I have now version 0.2.35.71, GC langage is english, my GPS is a HTC HD2. But, for two weeks I can't load spoilers. Is it because all GCzII program and folder are installed on the SD card ? Or/and because I have french-skin installed ? (It was also since two years).

Thank you ad great felicitations, Tom, for you good program. The best !
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] docfred:
With .071 this should work again. This is neihter a problem of the storage path nor a problem of your french skin.

I think the reason was an update of gc.com. The last two or three versions of GCzII had the problem, that there was no accurate import.

Now it works again (same hardware).

docfred
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SecretAgentMan:
Maybe try deleting \cache_db . You might have some old stuff cached from before when GCaII was not downloading spoilers.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vagabond.fr:
Thank you very much for your quickly response. But, I have tested for few minutes after deleted all data base and list, and I have again the same problem : no spoiler !
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vagabond.fr:
Spoiler OK !

Now it is OK, the spoilers are loaded ! Thank you.

I have understand what was the problem : I integrated the same PQ created by GC ! Now I have load directly 20 caches from GCzII around another cache, and all are spoilers !

Thank you for you good help.

How to clear Target Locations?

Hello Tom. Firstly, please let me say that I found your software not even a year ago, but it's really extremely good one! Is there a way to contribute?

I would like to ask you where are stored the Target Locations or if there's a way to manage them. I could not find it neither in the installation folder, nor any answer on the Internet... the issue is that I have quite a lot of points saved there and I would like to delete some of them (usually final coordinates of found caches) to make the list more transparent.

The second thing I have is not a question, but a tip - when I calculate some coordinates, I usually end up with something as "N49 03.299 E014 10.307". It would be nice to have a possibility to paste this into one field while entering new Targets and let your app parse it. One strict form would be good enough...

Cheers,

KlaTom
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] docfred:
Hello Klatom,

I'm not Tom,

but perhaps I can help you too.

Locations that are used (and saved) in the GPS-Monitor via "Set Target Location", can be managed by "Options->manage history->4. Coordinate".

Every cache has it's own folder in the folder "Cache_db". In this folder there is a file "GCxxxxx.xml". This file holds the cache definition, logs and all waypoints that came via download (waypoint with a red icon).

Selfcreated waypoints (blue icon) are stored in a file called "GCxxxxx.wps" (xml-format)

Coordinates, that a written in that manner, can be copied to the clipboard. Then you can use (in the waypoint list) "Add from clipboard" to generate a new (final) waypoint. With the option "Set waypoint Location" you will copy the coordinates to the GPS-monitor.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Indianajoan:
I've got a quick question about Google Maps.

I have recently (finally) got it to work, but there is one function that I would dearly like to have but simply does not want to work: the view all caches in the area

As I understand it, you are supposed to go to a loaded or generated cache list, and under Menu use Google Maps. This however is grayed out for me! Please help!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] docfred:
Perphaps you have activated "offline mode". "Options->Offline Mode"

docfred
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SecretAgentMan:
You have the correct idea. Create a cache list by "Search for Nearby Geocaches". From the list view, do a "Menu, Google Map". Google Maps will start and display cache icons on the map. I believe that you need to be a Geocaching.com Premium Member for this to work, so if it is not working for you, that is probably the reason.

Cache not found

Hello,

for more than 2 weeks I cannot download any cache. I tried to delete cache folder, i tried to remove skin (CZ) but nothing helped. There is no problem with dowloading cache lists. Im using latest version (.70). Is there any solution for my problem? Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vidvandre:
Without more information it's hard to identify the problem and give a proper suggestion for a solution. Any error messages or additional information would greatly help identify the source of your problem...

The latest version is however 0.2.35.71 (released yesterday). Might also be worth taking a look at the known issues in SecretAgentMan's latest summary post.

Without any more information, my only suggestion is to double-check that your language is set to English at Geocaching.com...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SecretAgentMan:
Actually, the latest version is .71. But .70 should work as well. .71 just fixed a spoiler picture issue.

Even so, I'd upgrade to the latest version. Go back a few pages and find the latest summary post and work through all the suggestions there.

(Edit - a bit repetitive. Sorry - Vivandre and I posted about the same time)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Indianajoan:
Thanks a lot. That must be the reason why. I am upgrading this month, so then it should not be a problem anymore.

waypoint conversion - question and feature suggestion

Hi,

first of all I want to thank Gech for this great App and his hard work. I'm using it in association with my Oregon.

A few days ago I loaded a PQ into GCzII and all the waypoints where shown in decimal degress. No problem for me, because I mainly use my Oregon for navigation.

Today I reloaded a cache and suddenly the waypoints show up in degrees and minutes, which is absolutely correct for geochaching. But why the differences between PQ and loading a cache directly via GCzII :confused:

Otherwise waypoint conversion would be a nice feature for me. Because for car navigation I'm using a device from Navigon, which only supports decimal degrees. Until now I have to calculate my parking coordinates from degrees and minutes by hand.

So if GCzII could do this for me with one fingertip, or optional show both formats, GCzII would support me a little bit more :)

I also relate to this thread...

Thanks for answering
