I find that I get that error message sometimes when I am in a fringe area data signal-wise. GCz will take longer than normal to post and then throws off that error. Not sure if that was the case with you. I also find that sometimes when I get that error, the log still posts. I saw you logged a number of finds on Saturday - - not sure if you posted them through the site after GCz failed or if GCz did in fact post them. Worth double-checking, in any event.

FWIW, I posted two finds on Saturday without any issue, so I wouldn't think the site update is the culprit.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paulloft:
I logged 3 finds while out and about today and all worked fine.

When was the last time you logged successfully using GCzII?

Also, are you able to locate your "fieldnotes.txt" file? If so, open it, delete the content and save it empty. Then try and log something - a note to one of your own caches perhaps, which you can later delete?

I have had logs fail before when not as a result of a website change, and I have usually got around it by soft resetting the phone and starting the internet connection again.

A couple of times my fieldnotes.txt file has become corrupted with spurious characters in some of the lines.

As soon as I cleared out this file everything was fine again.

I believe you can also delete it completely, and GCz will generate a new one next time you create a log or field note entry.

Hope that gives you a few things to start looking at.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] AngusCS:
I have also been able to log my finds (I am a PM).

What is it with GC? Why do they have a problem with Windows Mobile? There is now an approved Android App (which doesn't look as good as this one).

Is there nothing we can do to get them to take this application on as the approved WinMo app. It would be great to have one and this has proved to be bl**%y excellent. I have tried many others including GeoScout and this is by far the best.

Child waypoints

Hello, i don't know if this is an issue. When i import a gpx file, it don't import child waypoints.

Anyone more has this same problem?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SecretAgentMan:
Child waypoints are in a separate .gpx file that ends in "-wpts". Are you copying that to the phone too?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paulloft:
I always import both files as follows:

I unzip them from the PQ then copy them across to the phone, into a directory I have called GPX Files.

I then use the 'Import GPX' function and select just the 'standard' file (the one without the _wpts extension).

GCz imports the main file, then it automatically imports the _wpts file and joins the two together into one list. No manual import of the wpts file needed.

I presume you have to have both files in the same folder/directory, but I think they would be anyway.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Andreha:
once more: "Cache not found"

Hi to all GCzII users.

I'm Andre from germany and I'm using GCzII for about 2 weeks now.

Fist of all I want to state that I am very happy to have found that forum.

Googling "CGZii" gave me so many unusefull sites that I was closed to giving up.

But I think this piece of software (FREEware!!!) is soooo good and it fullfills my expectation so well. (I remember to have payed a lot of money for some software, that doesn't give half the functions GCzII does.

Thanks a lot to Tom and all persons that give this great support here in the forum.

Second, let me show that i have read a lot through this thread: ;-)

My dates are:

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

O2 XDA mini S (WIZA200) WM5.1.70 (Build 14406.1.1.1)

GCzII 0.2.35.50 (installed without a previous version)

GC account set to "english" an premium member

\Cache_DB is empty

Additionally I have installed "mymobiler" on my PC

to keep from having to tap on the small PDA Screen.

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

My problem:

After having searched caches (no matter what searchpoint 1 to 9) and have them caches listed on the screen, I want to make them available in Offline Modus, to be able to search for Caches without having to be online over GPRS.

(This works by using GPRS internet and also by using internet over USB to the PC)

I also can save them as cachelists, but when I try to open a single caches from the cachelist, I get the message: "cache not found" - EXCEPT I have opened that certain cache before by clicking it.

So: Single Caches do open from the searchlist, but they don't from the saved cachelist.

I also tried different doings (create cachelist / create cachelist as / download all caches) and settings with all variations of checkmarks in the download screen, but that doesn't make a difference to the result: only caches that have been opened before from the searchlist will be available in Offline modus. (Although the time it takes to download the caches I feel is absolutely sufficient to download all details)

Am I doing something wrong? Is there anything i didn't notice?

I hope to have descibed my problem well. I know there've been a lot of topics like "cache not found", but I feel to have tried out alls previously given solutions.

kind regards,

Andre
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ferbricos:
Thanks for your help. I do that: create a gpx file with GSAK, (with childs) and then import to GCZII. There is anyway to export a GPX file in GSAK with two files? Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paulloft:
Just checking - you do have the "Include additional child waypoints" YES ticked in the gpx export dialog box don't you.

(I'm sure you will have, but that's the only thing I can think would stop GSAK exporting the child waypoints)

Oh, and tick "All children" in the Include area.

I don't use GSAK to export the GPX files very often but when I do I don't have any problems with the additional waypoints.

I use GSAK a lot for exporting tomtom POI files and these include the child waypoints as that's the only way I get the recommended parking coordinates into tomtom.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paulloft:
Hi Andreha

Gosh, if only everyone was as thorough with their reading and investigation before posting a problem here :)

Unfortunately you seem to have covered all the usual causes of this problem by your own efforts.

Hopefully someone will think of something else it might be.

I will be thinking ....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SecretAgentMan:
It seems like you're doing everything ok. Are you putting GCz in the "Offline Mode" by selecting it from the main page option menu? You "Go" button should be yellow if you are in that mode.

The fact that you can only see caches you've viewed before suggests that the caches in your list haven't been downloaded before going offline. Try doing the steps in this order.

1 - From the main page, display a list of caches by searching for nearest, cache name or whatever parameter you like.

2 - Once the caches have displayed, save them as a list. (Menu, Save Cache List As)

3 - Download the caches. (Menu, Download all Caches, Overwrite the existing title) When the caches have been downloaded, you should see a yellow folder icon added for each cache in the list, indicating the cache has been downloaded to your phone.

4 - Go back to the main screen and put GCz in the offline mode. (Menu, Option, Offline Mode). The "Go" button on the main screen should have a yellow background.

5 - Re-load your saved list. (Menu, Cache List, Load Cache List, pick the one you just created. The list of caches will display. You should still see the yellow folder icons for each cache.

You should now be able to view those caches in the list without a data connection. :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Andreha:
Hi Paulloft and SecretAgentMan.

Wow, 2 answers within one hour, - and from all over the world! A really living forum (and much much faster than 95% of all professionall helpdesks, includuding the one I work in :rolleyes: )

Well, that's the way to learn about something new, istn't it?

:eek: Could it be that simple?

In Germany it would say: "Man sieht den Wald vor lauter Bäumen nicht!" (Not seeing the forrest through all the trees) which means to be stuck in details.

For myself it seems I didn't understand the most basic doing like: making/saving a cachelist FIST, THEN "Download all caches"... I'm not really shure whether I tried it that way also. I'll verify as soon as I will be home this evening, and keep you informed.

Kind regards

Andre
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SecretAgentMan:
Let's see what happens. I'm not sure that there is any requirement to create the cache list first before downloading. It seems to work either way. I think the important thing is to make sure the cache has been downloaded (Yellow icon) before going offline.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 2weizen:
@Andreha: In your GC-Profile change your language-settings to english (in case you set it to german). Then try again with downloading.

EDIT: Ah, you already did this. Must have read your post to fast ;-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Andreha:
What can I say? I tried it just a few minutes ago, - no problem, it works! :)

Well, "no problem" might be a little too optimistic.

It works by first doing the list and load all the caches down afterwards, but now I'm getting an errormessage, telling me the download will overfill the memory of my device.

I've set menu > settings > download settings to a folder on the storagecard.

Why then the download crowds internal memory? Can I change some setting to make the cachelists use the storagecard also?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SecretAgentMan:
Make sure that your downloads really are going to the card. You'll need to use \Storage Card\SomeFolderName as the path. GCz will then put all it's files except the program files on the card. You'll see a \Cache_DB folder inside the folder you specified. It will contain folders and files for all the downloaded caches.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Andreha:
Ok, thaks a lot.

They're all going to the Storagecard, that's fine.

(I had some other tried out programms on the device that crowded the memory, I got rid of them now.)

I still got a Cache_DB within the gczii folder in programms, can I delete that one?

What about the other folders

-HTTP_Log

-GPS_Log

-Cache_List

-Trackable_DB

can I delete their content?

And I got a file in the gczii programmfolder named GCzII.exe.0407 with a size of 65k, can that be deleted also?

Just one more (for now, if I don't bother): Has anybody got experieces with gczii-tools? I can find it in severals corners of the internet, but they all seem to be pasted from the same source. I simply don't know what to do with it and how.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Titus_Andronicus:
You should be able to delete those now. Even if it would frack up GCzII, GCzII will just re-make the folders.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SecretAgentMan:
Re \Program Files\GCzII\Cache_DB - Yes, delete it, unless you have some saved waypoints or notes you don't want to lose. If that's the case, migrate them to the new folder.

Re GCzII.exe.0407, I'm guessing that you can delete that . . . I don't have one of those and don't know what it is.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] derlbear:
It belongs to the German translation :-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Andreha:
Hi Derlbear.

And.... do we need it? ;-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wolle:
sorry this post was a mistake

sorry this post was a mistake - seems not to be possible to delete it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
On my stock german MDA V compact i can just press the power button to sleep my device. Logging works in this mode, so i think while GCzII is active the "Power" will just switch the display off.

I just tried this once, so maybe it is one of my other Programs, although there is nothing much.

On the other hand "ChangeScreen" (a screen rotation tool) allows you to "suspend device on face down", a feature i did use a lot. And i know it did just switch off the display while any App was active when turning face down.

Update GC with all my quick marks

Hello, is there any way that after a day out grabbing 16 caches and putting quick marks against them all in GCZ, is there any way with a couple of simple steps all those logs can update GC auto with out having to log in and log individually? I do have GSAK if that helps but very new to that? Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SecretAgentMan:
I don't think that there is. The quick mark populates the fieldnotes.txt file, which you can upload to gc.com and then post from there. Basically, this is the same thing that a paperless GPS unit does. I think that PaulLoft uses quickmarks, so he'll be able to provide his thoughts on how to do this most efficiently.

However, you can post the logs directly from the phone so long as you have a data connection. Instead of using quickmarks, you can write a log and then post it through your data connection. The log gets posted directly and you don't have to go back later and do anything further. The only time I use quickmarks is when I'm far enough in the boonies that I don't have a data signal.

Export to Ozi Explorer

Hello all, I have problems with export to Ozi Explorer. Correct coordinates are only by additional waypoints. Caches are not in map. There is correct in previous versions.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] derlbear:
Did you mark them as found? Then it's stored in the Fieldnotes.txt

Upload that file here: http://www.geocaching.com/my/uploadfieldnotes.aspx and you can easily log all your finds. I always do it that way because it's a lot faster than logging them with my phone.

Cheers,

derlbear
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SecretAgentMan:
I'm not an OziExplorer user, but are you saying that your exports of a LIST are missing coordinates? Are you a Premium Member? You'll have to be a PM to have waypoint data in list exports.

If I'm off point, post back with more detail about what you're trying to do and list the steps you are taking.

Sortable list of nearest caches

Greetings from germany,

i use the software GCzII on Windows Mobile 6.5 with an HTC Touch Pro 2 PDA with integrated GPS in automode for many months and all works perfect.

Actual i have installed version: "GCzII_20100812_1400_0235_50".

Synchronization works fine as all the time but since a while, when i click on my cachelist, load it and choose sort from actual position with good gps receipt, there are only 0 meter/miles diplayed with an grey arrow next to all my caches.

When i click on an cache there is no problem with gps an i can navigate to the cache without any problems.

All the time ago there was an red error with an distance info to the next cache so i can sort.

I delete and deinstall the software and make a clean reinstall with a brand new sycronisation. Same Error. All works perfect. Only the distance info with red errors is missing.

Is this only an displaybug? How can i fix it?

Is the actual premium member only feature? Many, many month it works with the the free gc account.

Thanks a lot

Micha LNH HSV
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vidvandre:
This is a known issue (after a recent website update by Groundspeak) for which there is no known workaround. FWIW it's caused by the addition of a Captcha for waypoint downloads on search result listings, the result of which is that GCzII doesn't have the information to sort by (at least not in the list results). AFAIK, the Capatcha is only added to search results for standard members...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sweet128:
I'm not a PM but export to OziExplorer worked correct in last version. There is one line from wpt file from GCZ:

1,Kajinek 25/2,,,0,0,1,3,16777215,8388608,2FGXJ/US/ Pod kamenem

and correct line with additional waypoint is:

2,PA2FGXJ 1 PA,49.721050,13.360150,0,0,1,3,0,16711680,Doporučené parkování(Parking)[PA2FGXJ]
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ladroege:
As you can see just a few posts up: Due to updates to the GC webpage some coordinates handling features of GCzII (that worked before) do no longer work for non-PM users. Maybe this will be fixed with an upcoming GCzII version, but that was not promised yet.

As of now you either have to live with the limited functionality, create some correction scripts on your own (some user did this for his installation) or upgrade to premium membership at GC.

@Gech

Is it possible that there might be a android port comming in the future?

My next phone will be running android as wp7 is not to my liking anymore.

The androir users are laking a good geocaching tool like this one on there platform.

I'm a fan of this tool and running wm 6.5.3 at the moment.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BaCo:
You are faulty,

on Android ther is c:geo. It laks in some features behind but it also have some nice extra features.

But it is very very nice!

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
Hello, Fellows,

i have just programmed a little MortScript to correct your Lists.

This enables you to sort your list even if you are a non-Premium member.

Installation:

1. Download "MortScript 4.3b11" from http://www.sto-helit.de/index.php?module=download&entry=ms_program&action=list

2. Save somewhere and unzip

3. Install the "...ppc.cab" (if you have a Touch-Device) or "...sp.cab" (for Smartphones) on your device, found in Folder "CAB".

4. download my script from http://rapidshare.com/files/426943272/CLC10.mscr

5. Open the script in editor, it is a simple Textfile.

6. Change the path in the second line to wherever you store the GCzII-Data on the device. This is the Folder given in GCzII as Data storage and should contain "Cache_DB" and "Cache_List".

7. Save the file wherever you want on your device.

Usage:

a) create the list(s) as you like inside of GCzII

b) Download all interesting caches (Folder icons appear in list)

c) Close GCzII

d) Start the script.

e) it asks which list to correct

f) select "Yes" on the list you want to use

g) wait. The script is slow...

h) after the list is corrected, there may be a question for the next list. continue with f)

i) the corrected list is saved under the same name but with an attached "neu", so you don't lose the original file.

Done.

The script takes the information from the XML-files of the caches and places it inside the list-XML. So this works only on caches downloaded, thus step b)

This thing is slow, maybe buggy, and comes with no warranty. So beware!

I did test and use it a lot, but there are maybe problems i did not see or something the script cannot handle. I can not be held responsible for any data loss!

In case of problems try to do it "my way":

- I usually create a list by doing a search "around me" or "around cache code"

- download all, all checkers off, so i get maps and pictures

- close GCzII

- run the script

- start GCzII and use the list as usual.

When you encounter any problems, don't wait and write me a PM, i don't look here that often.

And last: The license is: "mention me when someone sees it, and notice me when you change something" ;)

Cache not found?

Hi @ all!

Actual i have installed the latest version: "GCzII_20100812_1400_0235_50".

Everything seems to work properly.

I can search for caches, but I always receive

"20 caches found page (0/0)"

If I try to load (or reload) a new cache.

I get "cache not found".

I'm using WM 6.5.5.

Thx in advance

Your hint solved the 'Cache not found' issue I was facing today also..

Unknowingly I set the language to Dutch very recently; so that's a no-go for GCzII.

Search Tip

This is an extremely long thread. It can be difficult, if not impossible, to find what you're looking for here, if you don't search.

When you are looking for a phrase, you'll need to put the phrase in quotes, so that the entire phrase is searched for. Otherwise, the search engine will just look for individual search terms.

So, for example, if you are getting a Cache Not Found error, search for "Cache Not Found" and you'll find plenty of help. :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Micha_X1:
P5x5-User / Script to modify cache list

Also from me.... THANK YOU FOR THE SCRIPT!

It works fantastic at my HD2 and I'm very happy, that I can sort the caches after the distance to the actual position again and see all the caches in GoogleMaps. :D

Good Work!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
@fritzenuntz & Micha_X1

Good to hear it works for at least 2 of 14 downloaders ;)

@fritzenuntz:

I thought about this also, but this script language is quite slow, so this may be an extremely slow task. But i will try something...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scottiefilm:
Hallo P5x5-User.

Auch bei mir hatś geklappt. Allerdings bekam ich die Meldung das der Break-Befehl nicht ausgeführt werden kann (ich glaube es war Zeile 61). Hab' den Befehl einfach gelöscht und offensichtlich klappt es....(arbeitet im moment).

Danke für die Arbeit

Scottiefilm
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
Hallo, scottiefilm,

hast du die mortscript 4.3b11 oder die "normale" 4.2 benutzt?

Das Script verlässt sich auf Funktionen die erst in der 4.3 gekommen sind.

Oder möglicherweise hast du etwas anders gemacht, z.b. nicht alle Caches voll geladen. Wäre für mich interessant, woran das liegt.

Das Break ist nämlich dazu da, das Script zu beschleunigen, bei mir hat es für 100 Caches sonst ca. 15 Minuten gebraucht, so sind es etwa 2.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] derlbear:
Although there are many German users here in the forum, it would be really nice to stick to the English language so that others can follow your conversation, too :o
