Bonjour Tom, je viens de constater qu'avec la version 02.35.76 quand on fait une recherche dans la liste par région, ou par le gps il ne nous indique pas les nouvelle caches car a cote de chez moi il y en a une nouvelle qui n'est pas annoncé.

je suis sur la france.

Hi Tom, I just see that with version 02.35.76 when we search the list by region or by the GPS it does not tell us the new caches because next door to me there is a new which is not announced.

I am in France.

Something changed at geocaching.com?

GczII does not show my found caches, red symbol in cache listing.

Also the cache list -> overview-> Cache show nothing....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SecretAgentMan:
My found caches show when I turn that option on.

From the main page, go to Menu, Option, Search Settings. In the bottom box, make sure that you don't have search types checked. If you do, your found caches will not be included in that particular set of search results. If you want to see your found items, uncheck the box next to the type of search you are doing. With options checked in the bottom box, your found caches will be hidden from you even if "Exclude your owned or found items" is not checked.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] frounzn:
I have no Option checked in Search Settings.

Output from Overview-> Cache:

Total Caches Found*

No finds have been recorded.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SecretAgentMan:
I don't understand what you are describing here.

Can you please list the steps you are taking in terms of what menu picks you are using and what the results are?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] frounzn:
Well, it seems nobody use this function.

Steps detail: In Gczii press Menu, then "Cache List", then Overview and next Cache.

Here you can see your own cache statistics.

The problem seems to be solved now. I did a reboot of the my device.Now I can see the check mark and the cache statistics again.

thanks for your help.

I am not sure whether I post this in the correct area. I have an issue with the 'Calculate Destination' function (available if the GPS monitor is switched on).

I have the following location: N 52 09.827 E 6 2.672. Distance 760m bearing 110 degrees. It calculates N 52 9.680 E 6 2.293. It should be however N 52 9.680 E 6 3.293

Anyone familiar with this and is there a solution? Best regards, John

problems with export to gpx

GCzII is the best geocaching tool !

My export files contains only <wpt lat="" lon=""> for the location.

Has anyone the same problem or a solution !

Best regards

a.h.k

Update:

Problem solved: i must download all caches first, then the export works fine.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Titus_Andronicus:
I would aggree with your math. I have never used GCzII's bearing calculations, so not sure what to say. If you are in a pinch, GateCacher (for WM) has lots of cool calculations, and they do seem to work correctly.

Unused item in Startscreen

Hi all.

I'm using GCZii for over a year now. I'm so happy with it, that I decided to make an old Phone my new one, because it's running Windows Mobile ;-)

But until today I never figured out what I can do with the field below the often used "Go" button. (To be shown by pressing "<" , saying "no history" , "Save" and ">")

What can I do witg these?

regards

00_Geocoding.xml - Internet URL open Failed

Hey, I have this problem when I try to search for caches. Is it just my local problem, or its global?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paulloft:
That error usually shows when you have a weak (or no) internet connection on your phone. Check your internet connection is working properly (launch your browser?) as a first check.

Search problem

Hi - When selecting 'Search for Nearby Caches', no matter what I do in options, I get 'Cache Not Found'. I'm a geocaching.com premium member and have checked and rechecked that I've correctly entered my Login ID and Password. As a matter of fact, there is no 'search' that gets a different response.

Have you double checked you are using the latest version of the GCz software and that your language preference on gc.com is set to English?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sweeney Toddlers:
GCzii using up phone storage

We run Gczii on a microSD card. Despite this when we download caches it slowly uses up the phone's internal memory and after a few weeks we start getting a "memory full" message and have twice now had to do hard resets and start again from scratch. The SD card is 16GB and very little of it is used so there doesn't seem to be a problem there. When we clear Gczii and associated folders from the SD card (such as the database folder) this doesn't free up any of the phone internal memory.

We have looked and we cannot see how Gczii is using up the internal memory and, therefore, don't know what we can delete from it intermittently the resolve the issue. Is there some kind of cache being used in the phone internal memory?

Does anyone have any ideas how Gczii is using the internal memory and how we can either stop it or, at least, do something every so often to free up space and avoid the need to constantly rebuild the phone's OS? Our ideal is to find a way for gczii to use only the SD card and not the phone memory.

Gczii version 76
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paulloft:
Hi Sweeny Toddlers

From the main GCz screen select Menu, then Option, then Download settings

In the box for "Download Data Stored Folder" type in the path you want the software to use for storing stuff on your card.

I use simply \storage card\caching

Where 'caching' is a folder I have set up on my storage card - you can call it anything you like.

The software will then put all of its subfolders into this folder including:

Cache_DB

Cache_List

GPS_Log

HTTP_Log

Trackable_DB

etc etc

You can then either leave these to build or do a bit of housekeeping and clear them out every now and then. (i.e delete the folders, GCz will create new ones next time it runs)

I tend to clear mine out from time to time as the Cache_DB folder especially does build up with lots of data for caches you have already found - especially if as I do you download all the images into each cache description.

Hope that helps, get back to us if you still have problems.

Oh, and once you have set up your new folder you can safely delete all the above folders I have listed which remain on your internal memory, as GCz will have created new ones on your memory card anyway so they will be redundant
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sweeney Toddlers:
Thanks Paul,

We'll give this a go. Currently the "Download Data Stored Folder" setting is blank. The files are going to the storage card anyway but seem to use some phone memory too. We'll try your suggestion and see if that's the fix.

The ST's x
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paulloft:
Do you have the software installed on the memory card? If so that could be why it is putting some files on the card.

The important ones are the Cache_DB and to a lesser extent the Trackable_DB folders. They are the ones that tend to grow to large sizes. Are they on your internal memory?

I have GCz installed on internal memory (only because I had a card fail one day and lost GCz as a result), but have the download directory pointed at the memory card (as per my last post).

All that is on my internal memory is the skin folder, the program and a couple of other small files. Everything else is on the memory card.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sweeney Toddlers:
Yes, the program was on the SD card and all the other folders including the cache and trackable databases are there too. Yet downloading eats up the phone memory :confused:

Have just tried again with the folder names you suggested in the download settings. Another 2mb of phone memory disappeared despite the downloaded files appearing in the SD folder :confused:

Will try taking the whole thing off, putting gczii on the internal memory and the download folder on the SD card but that seems a bit of a stretch.....

This isn't going well :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paulloft:
Sounds like we need ... Secret Agent Man. He'll know what to do :)

Just out of interest, which files/folders do you delete to get the memory back? Or do you just hard reset?

Only my HD2 was eating up memory to the point where I ran out. Looked at all the large files and there was nothing there that should have been causing a problem. Then I did some googling and found there is a folder which fills with thousands of small files which build up to a lot of memory. It was something to do with the online browser.

There were instructions for deleting those files and diverting them onto the memory card, which I did. Got back around 50% of my internal memory and have not had the problem since.

It wasn't to do with GCz though :confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sweeney Toddlers:
Have to do a total reinstall which, as you would imagine, is a real pain in the neck.

Don't do much on line browsing but if you can remember what should be deleted I can try that.

Otherwise am stuck and desperate for some new ideas.......
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sweeney Toddlers:
Unfortunately the next test has failed.

Gczii now running on internal memory (instead of SD card) but pointing downloads to recommended storage space (\storage card\caching) on the SD card for downloads. The database appears here but yet more internal phone memory has been eaten up with the download of another 30 caches. At this rate it wont be too long until the phone needs reformatted again (we have lost 10mb of internal memory this morning and cannot find any big files to delete).

This whole thing wouldn't be such a big deal if we knew where the space on the internal memory was used and, therefore, could clear it out once in a while.....

Any more ideas?

I hope this secret agent man is as good as you think he is....

Interestingly when we deleted gczii from the sd card, and all the associated folders, it still remembered the last searches when we installed new version on the internal memory. This suggests (?) something is always being saved to the internal memory but that it's hidden to us.....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sweeney Toddlers:
Just explored the phone memory using windows explorer and a WMDC connection. There is nothing that I can see using up all the memory that is apparently disappearing..

HELP!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SecretAgentMan:
:o

I wouldn't be concerned with the fact that the last searches are saved. Those are written to the registry where they really don't have any impact on storage space.

Just to be sure, are you really talking about the storage space on the phone, or memory? You keep saying memory, but I think you might mean storage space. Storage space is how much of the disk is being used by files. Memory is how much of the volatile space is being occupied by programs and the operating system as they run.

Go to Settings, System, Memory and make a note of the statistics under "Storage". Then, generate a list (nearby caches, for example) with GCzII and then download all caches. Go back to the Memory applet and note the "Storage" stats again. Please post the stats.

If you can browse the file system on your phone (not your card), go to \Program Files\GCzII and post what files and folders you have there.

Also, if you recall, what is the exact error message you get when you are running out of space?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sweeney Toddlers:
Just to be sure, are you really talking about the storage space on the phone, or memory? - Yep, you are right, storage

Go to Settings, System, Memory and make a note of the statistics under "Storage".

Then, generate a list (nearby caches, for example) with GCzII and then download all caches. Go back to the Memory applet and note the "Storage" stats again.

- sometimes much more storage goes with a download. I've lost over 10mb today. I think I'm about 50 mb down from when I last did did a hard reset (3 weeks ago)

If you can browse the file system on your phone (not your card), go to \Program Files\GCzII and post what files and folders you have there.

This adds up to about 1mb when I explore through WMDC. On paper everything else is on the SD card and I can see it all there

Also, if you recall, what is the exact error message you get when you are running out of space?

Sorry, Not the exact words. I hope it's a wee while until it happens again. Basically storage gets down below 5 and I get a repeated warning about lack of storage. Problems wont run and I have to reinstall
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SecretAgentMan:
I can see where you lost a bit of space. It could be GCzII, I suppose, but it could also be Windows writing something resultant from the GCzII action.

You could try looking that the locations of files written after a GCzII download. I'm not sure if you'll be able to do that easily through Windows Explorer connected to your phone, but he is the technique.

Do this in the morning before anything else has been going on with your phone. Right after midnight might be even better. Do a search with GCzII and then download the caches. Then go look at the files created that day on the phone, not the card. See if anything jumps out at you.

I use Resco Explorer on my phone. It has an advanced search function that allows you to search for files within a date range. You can look for all files dated that day and see their locations. You'll see files created recently unrelated to the GCzII action, but something might jump out at you as well.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SecretAgentMan:
Also, try looking in \Windows\Temp and the temp folder on the root (if you have one) to make sure Windows isn't garbage collecting.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sweeney Toddlers:
Oh well, I suppose an easy answer would be too much to ask for.

There isn't anything in the temp files you mention but I have deleted both (hopefully this wont mess up the phone) and I have no more storage. Have lost another mb since earlier.

Looks like the best plan may be to wait until all the space has gone and then try a none stock rom to see if it's any better.

Cheers anyway...

The ST's
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paulloft:
Secret Agent Man is far more cleverer than me at this stuff.

But just to go back to what what was eating my internal storage. I googled again and reminded myself it was the Opera cache folder which was being stored on the internal memory.

Thousands (literally) of very small files which over the months had built up to lots of Mb. I was running out of space. So I deleted them all and immediately regained over 50Mb. Which is a comfortable working margin.

I then transferred the Opera cache files to the SD card and have not had the problem again, always lots of internal storage available now when I try to instal new programs.

Might not be your problem but thought I would mention it for completeness.

Good luck, someone will help you find a solution!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SecretAgentMan:
Well, then I'd go for the "after midnight" file solution I mentioned three posts back. If you are absolutely convinced that a GCzII action is writing files to main storage, seeing what gets written there right after you download a set of caches will surely show that. Should be a pretty simple endeavor with the correct tool.

There are lots of people using HD's with stock ROMs, PaulLoft included, that aren't having your issue. While a non-stock ROM might give you more internal storage space to start with, you'll only slow down the running out of space issue . . . it's not going to go away.

BTW, could you possibly be using some sort of on the fly backup solution? Something that might be writing to main storage as a result of things being added to the card?

BTW, since you asked us, you don't get to give up until you try everything we suggest! :D :D :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sweeney Toddlers:
No and LOL!!!

add cache

Hello,

Does anyone know if it's possible to add just one cache in GCzII?..

I will one specific cache and not 20. That takes so long and I only needs one.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SecretAgentMan:
I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "add". Do you mean return a list with just one cache? If that's the case, for online retrieval, the answer is no. You could, however, load a pq with just one cache in it, but I'm not sure what that accomplishes.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Gech:
Hi

About Internal Memory, Have you checked IE caches?

IE stores lots of temp files and consumes memory.

thanks

tom
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ladroege:
Well, if I would like to get just one specific cache in a list and downloaded, I succeed most times by just searching for the specific cache name. Some times this may return more than one result, when the cache name is not unique.

HTH!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SecretAgentMan:
Even if you search by gc code GCzII will return a list. If you are concerned with data consumption, instead of downloading all caches from the list, select the one cache from the list and then download that.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jmpeetje:
After I download the new cache I will add that new cache to a list I allready have stored.

Example: I have a excisted list called "home". (250 caches)

When there's a new cache online I search by GC code and then I become a new list of 20 with the new cache in it.

I download the new cache with photo's and information.

Than I will add only that new cache to my list "home" so I become 251 caches in that list.

I can only add the new cache to "add to Favorites" and not to another list

There is also a way "move to" in the menu.

The field becomes yellow. Then I go to another list where I want the cache 'to move to' but nothing happens????

What's the meaning of "move to"

thx

Internet URL open failed [01_LoginAuth.htl]

After installing the software V2.35.76 on my HTC TD2 (vodafone) it looked awesome. But when i tried to search for caches i get the following error:

"Internet URL open failed [01_LoginAuth.htl]"

I read a lot of simelar posts but did not see a solution for my problem.

I use the latest version of GCzII

I have deleted the contents of \Cache_DB.

On Geocaching.com my language is set to "English".

Other applications seem to work, opera internet browser shows internet sites, google maps is working ok, even another geocach program (GateCacher) is working , but i like GCzII much more

TIA
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SecretAgentMan:
This comes up from time to time, but I don't every see anyone posting back when they've fixed it.

You say that you like GCzII much more. Is this a new install or have you used GCzII previously and it just stopped working?

I'd make sure your login info is correctly entered into GCzII. You did put in login info, didn't you.

This error comes up when your data connection is weak, but you seem to have covered that noting that other apps seem to get a data connection just fine. When you're getting this error, how are you connected to the Internet? i.e. data connection, wifi, connected to PC. Try changing your data connection type . . (i.e. turn wifi on and connect) and see if it connects then.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FrankLoos:
@SecretAgentMan. I was not connected to a PC. Internet connection via 3G or GPRS. I connected it to my home network via WiFi ans it was working. Then I shut down the Wifi and the error came back again.

I had a previous install but only used the GPS monitor, I just entered the coords manualy. A friend of my told me that it is also possible to get the info directly from geocaching.com via the search function. And once you know its possible you want to use it :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SecretAgentMan:
Ok. So it works with WiFi but not through your 3G/GPRS connection. I think it may be a proxy issue. Tom can explain the fix if that's the issue. In the mean time, search this thread for "proxy" and see if any of those help.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FrankLoos:
I read the issues about proxy. So far as i understand the checkbox should NOT be checked. I checked the proxysettings at connections and the checbox is not checked. I don't know what to do now. So we just wait for Tom?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SecretAgentMan:
I've never done anything with a proxy, so I'm not aware of the fix. Tom should comment here. You can also try PMing all of the posters that said they got the same error message to see if any can give you a fix.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Gech:
Hi FrankLoos,

>> "Internet URL open failed [01_LoginAuth.htl]"

Probably, proxy issue but need to check logs under HTTP_Log folder.

zip and attach here please.

thanks

tom
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ladroege:
True, but if you search for a (unique) cache name (title) by keyword, you may get just this one.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ladroege:
As far as I know, the "move" just allows you to change the order within one cache list, not to move between lists.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jmpeetje:
Yes indeed,

I have tried it and it only 'move' the cache in the same list.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jmpeetje:
It works just by giving the cache name and not the GC code. Than GCzII only gets the caches with that specific name. THX
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FrankLoos:
"Internet URL open failed [01_LoginAuth.htl]"

Hi Tom,

Here is the HTTP_Log folder you asked for.

Thanks

Frank
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Gech:
Hi FrankLoos

I checked the logs and seems conflict WiFi and 3G connection log.

So, delete all files under HTTP_Log then try again only with 3G connection.

thanks

tom
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FrankLoos:
Tom,

I delete all the files under HTTP_LOG. And tried it again with wifi disabled and i got the same error: "Internet \url open failed. [01_LoginAuth.html]"

In my display I can see the 3G icon changing in an H icon (HSDPA is available, whatever that means) for a while.

The direrctory HTTP_LOG stays empty after trying again.

I LOVE Gczii on my TP2 I use it quite often.

is there by chance an android version of this program? (I am playing with android on one of my TP2's)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SecretAgentMan:
AFAIK, no. I believe that Tom has an interest in Android, but so far nothing solid has been mentioned.

Personally, I wish Tom would consider a port to IOS as well. Windows Mobile and I will be parting paths soon . . . maybe for Android, maybe for IOS.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Titus_Andronicus:
Tom: Can you comment on weather you are doing development with the new API?

Before jumping into one of those 'normal' OSs, give WP7 a try (after the Mango update). I really enjoy my WP7's flow and feel. I still have my Windows Mobile (v6.5) for geocaching though. The GPS in my LG Optimus Quantum 7 is not very good for geocaching. I suspect there is other hardware using WP7 that is better suited for geocaching.
