I have lost my older versions, so i am 'stuck' with the last one to try.

I can't find the option to download all static maps for all caches of a list. A very dark corner of my memory tells me it was possible, but i just don't know how...

Can anyone tell me?

I am also having the same issues as Phil82de, I noticed it when I did a query by owner name, and have several of them that are showing as <span class="Warning Strike">.

Also, I attempted to import a GPX file I created with GCz into GSAK and it gave me an error, not sure if it's related to the above mentioned errors or not.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Titus_Andronicus:
I have the 0m issue as well. I thought it was due to primium member caches, but turns out that some regular caches come up as well.

Hi! Really nice tool! very helpfull.

but i have a problem.

when i just reset my htc touch hd it will ever run when i choose it.

but later times there will mostly just apear the windows "sand clock" and thats all. and there is nothing possible to to but soft reset my device to get my touch hd back to live.. :(

anyone else with this problem?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] R@V3N:
I had the same problem with my Touch HD and older ROMs. With new ROMs (I acutally use BlackDragon 2.0.1.), the problem wouldn't appear ;)

Scrolling

Hi there,

I'm not sure if anyone was able to solve this problem: Since I updated my TD2 to WM 6.5 I'm not able to scroll the description with my finger. When I try it, I can only select the text within the description, which isn't really a useful function. It's quite hard to scroll with the scrollbars with your finger.

I bet that this isn't intended by Gech because in WM 6.1 it worked like a charm. It has to be a netcf problem. Does someone know why this works in programs like Windows Marketplace, but not in GCzII ? I think it uses the same system, but I'm not absolutely sure.

Cheers,

Another GS website update..

On Tuesday, February 23rd starting at 8 PM Pacific Time (GMT -8), we'll be performing upgrades to the Geocaching.com database server in anticipation of spring and summer geocaching traffic. The scheduled maintenance is expected to take 4 hours. We'll post updates to the Groundspeak forum during this time:

Should we be worried after the impact the last change had on GCZII ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Knowing GC history, yes. But if they're making changes based on anticipated traffic it's more likely they're adding another back end database or possibly front-end web server. HTML changes wouldn't necessarily be a part of that, but could be.

If they do their coding like most places, there is a separate development environment which is tweaked and at a point moved over to the production environment. I'd have to guess this back-end work has been ongoing in a dev environment, and could bring over HTMl changes if they've also done that along the way.

Also, GC seems to be happy with playing a passive game of wack-a-mole.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] campaII:
I've just tested this software few days ago. It's really one of the best software around. It was active all the day long and no crash. I'm really impressed by this software.

With some adds like: vocals notes, off-line trackable capabilities, off-line log, possibility to send logs later, cache search mode when your less than 50m...

Once again congrates Tom for your hard work.

Campa.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] derlbear:
Hi campa,

for these two things: just use fieldlogs :-) It creates one file that you can upload later directly to GC.com ... very easy and comfortable to use.

Cheers,

derlbear
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Psyberdude:
For what it's worth, you can also do the whole log in the field notes (offline) and then later when you are back home, connected to your wireless connection, go through them and then "post" the logs along with any trackables directly from the app. This is my preferred method assuming I've not been posting logs from the field as I go, which is what I often do.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Titus_Andronicus:
I have the same problem. However, on my phone (HTC Touch Vogue) I do not have any problem with the scrollbars. But it still gets me everytime, I always am still trying to scroll with my finger and end up selecting the text.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Boyo:
The word over on the GS forums is that they are in talks with Tom, anything you can add to that Tom?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] martinhe:
It's here again: There will be site maintenance on 23 February 2010, starting at 8 PM Pacific Time (GMT -8). Elias expects the downtime to be 4 hours. During that time, all Geocaching.com services including the web site, Pocket Queries, the Geocaching iPhone application, Geocache Navigator, and other 3rd party applications that access our API, will be inaccessible.

We'll see how the discussion about GCz ended.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mashe:
thx, I wasn't aware of the "field notes" or the possible combination of notes and quick marks. however it doesn't solve the task - if I got understand you correctly. What I am looking for is that when I get back to ONLINE mode I would love to press single button or two, and have all the logged (quick or field notes) uploaded. ideally it would be best to have prearranged text for quick mark upload (e.g. #date / time mark + TFTC .. etc).

if there is already solution, pls let me know ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Psyberdude:
No, not that I am aware of. You can create the field notes, but there is no magic button. You still need to go through each one and submit it as a log, which lets face it, is not difficult or all that time consuming :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mashe:
but would be a nice addition 8-)

Pinpoint Map+2 is always black

Is there a setting to get the pinpoint map +2 to come in? Mine always is black with some stray text along the bottom.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] derlbear:
That's why you chose the wrong distance. It's too close and google maps doesn't give you a picture if it's too close.

You can change this behaviour in the static maps settings (menu, options, static maps settings or something like that).

The closest distance that works for me is pinpoint map +2 "18". If I choose "19" I get a black image. So my settings are pinpoint map "16" and pinpoint map +2 "18".

Cheers,

derlbear
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nsa_sailor:
Thanks.

Mine was set on 21. Pinpoint was set on 20. So I bumped pinpoint to 19 and +2 to 20.

Current Settings:

Huge = 12

Large = 14

Middle = 16

Small = 18

Pinpoint = 19

Pinpoint+2 = 20
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Titus_Andronicus:
Right now, most of us users feel justified in, alegidly, breaking the GS TOU because none of the web scraping is "automated". What you are describing would realy cross that line, and then there would realy be no question that you would be breaking the TOU. Don't expect Tom to add this one in. Unless GS gives hims access to the API, I think it will be a no go!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hulkman:
bump... anyone?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] shaggyguitarist:
Well the GC website update seems to have been and gone. GCz seems to be searching ok as far as I csn see. Looks like the talks with Tom and GS went ok.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
.... I'd say more likely "GC didn't intentionally or unintentionally break GC parsing", regardless of any talks with Tom.

I too have done a quick run through and found nothing new, whew.. Good news there at least.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Psyberdude:
I've just noticed one small thing. A new cache was just published, so I fired up GCzII and noticed that when it lists the cache, the "new" indicator if not being displayed.

Minor, but just thought I'd point it out.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fastcatcher:
Interesting news I just found on the GC-site:

http://forums.groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=242714&st=0&p=4238519&#entry4238519

I wonder if this is really true and GCz is now a legal app on Groundspeak?!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xhozt:
I pmed the mod over there that mentioned that for some hard confermation ... either way tom YOU ROCK !!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paulloft:
We had 4 of our own caches published on Monday/Tuesday and all of them have the little red 'New' tag on the GCz listings.

Also, one was published locally last night so pulled it into GCz to go get it, and that too has the 'New' tag against it.

So the function is still working for me - don't know why it would be different for different people but perhaps someone cleverer than me can suggest a reason.

But just thought I'd say that the function is still there and working, for me at least.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Titus_Andronicus:
YAAAA!!!!

This is truly a great day for geocaching!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Yep, 'tis awesome news! :) I wonder if Tom has access to the API now? I bet that'll speed things up and clearly make things more robust, no more template-chasing, etc.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Psyberdude:
I'm going to reserve my excitement until we get some confirmation or official news from Tom.

In the meantime, I'm holding my thumbs and crossing my fingers :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SdKfz.171:
Hi, Gech,

at first, I want to thank you for this great app. I'm new one to geocaching, but your application is really easy to use.

I've just encountered little problem with cache list download - in most of caches I can see this picture istead of maps (see attached file). Does it mean that I've reached some map download limit or so? I've tried to download 100 caches near my address, but forgotten to uncheck download of log images - then I've got message "not enough storage space", so I had to clean \Windows\Profiles folder, and than I started new cache list download... and ended with those pictures
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Psyberdude:
Welcome SdKfz.171,

Yes, google limits the amount of data one IP address can download in one session, afterwhich you will get these images.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Psyberdude:
Did a new search today, to load a new cache, and that one did come up with the "new" tag. Very odd. It seems to only affect some caches... as does the issue of the 0m and no direction indicator, of which I just recently got two. However this issue only seems to happen with saved cache lists.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NevadaWolf:
As best as I can tell, the 0m and no direction are disabled caches. I run my PQs for all caches, active or not, and so I see that 0m quite a bit.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Psyberdude:
Nope, I can't confirm that. I've just double checked and the ones I have, which are showing in my saved cache list, are active caches.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NevadaWolf:
Hurm. Then I've no clue. :grin:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] shaggyguitarist:
The issue regarding the "New" icon is quite simple.

A cache is only listed as "new" for 7 days since its planted/hidden date.

The cache planted/hidden date is quite often different from the publishing date, and if the cache owner wants the "new" icon displayed, they need to make sure the date listed is within 7 days of publishing.

Check the planted date on the cache you think should be listed as new, and confirm the date is older than the 7 days.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
So what you're saying is people like me, who hide a cache then a few month later realize he never published it, no new icon? ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Psyberdude:
I think that anyone who FORGETS they hid a cache, does not deserve a "new" icon :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Hey, I consider it making the FTF that much harder; no evidence of the hide :D

Besides, when you're constantly on the outlook for new places and have 50+ active, sometimes you hide faster than publish. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] AdamiX:
I wanna just to say that when i load new caches so every adopted cahce is in cache list first. Look

Waypoints + GCZii

Hi there,

I'm using GSAK to create my own database of caches, and I can export this databases to my HTC with GCZii (excellent program).

But when I open my GPX with GCZii I can see the caches, but I can't see the adittional waypoints.

(I do know that the additional waypoints are in the GPX, because when I re-open it with GSAK (new database), GSAk does see the additional waypoints.

Does anybody has the solution?

Thanks in advance

Edit: OFFTOPIC

Hi all,

today we found a tricky cache by means of Toms application.

Find attached 2 pictures with views on the complete Bunker location and on the final cache built in a screw fixed by a magnet to an iron girder.

First I thought this screw to be associated with the whole construction but when turning it a bit it fall into my hand and I found the midget logbook inside :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Maverick_TN:
I love this program!! I have found 10 on the first day with this. I've been looking at the screen shots of the new test build and am thinking about trying it out too.

Keep up the good work!

Just an idea:

Any thoughts about adding support for Wherigo cartridges in the future?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Phil82de:
@LordNibbler

Thanks for your explanation! I misunderstood this accuracy-setting a bit. ;-)

But isn't it really possible to fix the devices gps-accuracy anyhow?? I had read someware that much intern gps-chips are set to need not much power and beeing not so accurate than others - but it should be possible to tweak that. Does anyone know?

One request: This Sun on the GPS Monitor is great - but what about the Moon at night? ;-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Lord.Nibbler:
Hi Phil,

the only accuracy "tweak" that I'm aware of is to turn WAAS / EGNOS on.

If your GPS chip is a Sirf one you maybe can turn it on/off with MMSirfSetup.exe.

Be aware that MMSirfSetup can mess your GPS internal settings and you may be forced to reset your phone and remove the battery from the GPS unit ... or even worse. Please read previous posts between paulpille and myself in previous pages. Personally I use it each time when I'm switching between "Car navigation mode" and "geocaching mode" without trouble... but use it at your own risks :rolleyes:

Except the above setting, I don't know other "tweaks" but in any case they should be really hardware/chip/manufacturer/model dependents ... so it would be out of GCzII scope to try to implement them.

Cheers,

Nibbler.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Daemonicus73:
Awesome

Hi Gech

Tried version 1 of your software at the weekend when I took my wife and kids out on our first geocaching hunt. We all had a great time and your software was invaluable.

Today I found this thread and got very excited. The new features you are planning look great and I cant wait to have a play with it when it is released.

Keep up the great work.

On a side note, reading the talk about accuracy settings (geocache mode versus car mode) does anybody on here know if it is possible to tweak the Xperia x1 to enable a more geocache friendly gps plot?

Tia

D.

[Edit]Have tested using my GlobalSat BT-388 with my X1 (after finally getting it paired and set up) and the tracking sensitivity is superb. Only problem is I am not getting the GPS Trail. Not sure if I have missed something in this thread or if this is an issue with the Xperia X1. I am using software version 0.2.33j. [/Edit]
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Lord.Nibbler:
Xperia was made by HTC. It has Qualcomm chipset like Touch Diamond / Pro. I don't know if Qualcomm chipsets have the "static navigation" setting or similar, have a look in google with "Qualcomm" "static navigation" "HTC" keywords... maybe you'll find something.

As for the trail issue... probably dumb questions but :

- have you enabled it in GPS Monitor | GPS Trail menu ?

- is your scale adapted to your movement ? If you move just a few meters and your scale is 250m or more you won't see anything as the trail is hidden by your blue dot position :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
BTW, it's very nice that this tool is available, and it's SIMPLE and SMALL. I used to have a tool from Holux that was tiny and basically did just this.. Had some options for Static on/off, power save on/off, WAAS on/off, and it worked, but I haven't been able to find it. I've hunted and hunted.

I tried MMSirfSetup last night but it wouldn't switch back from SIRF several times I tried, however, I could launch SirfTool on the same com port and baud rate and then use it to switch back to NMEA. And when I went into GeoNiche it reported D3D (WAAS) so that's great, I can do it from the PPC now instead of doing it from the laptop. I am using a Bluetooth GPS on COM9, so it might work more reliably on hard-wired (internal) GPS but not quite as well on Bluetooth?

I wish it could really switch back itself though, ah well.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Lord.Nibbler:
Personally I never had issues with MMSirfSetup except when I opened with an inappropriate baudrate or port :rolleyes:

As for switching back ... maybe you still have an app that uses the COM port which prevents MMSirfSetup to open it ?

Check with a task manager that all the apps that have access to the GPS port are *really* closed and not only minimized by WM (which is the default behavior when you click the [X] button)

Cheers,

Nibbler.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Daemonicus73:
Thanks Lord Nibble.

I have had a look for info on the Qualcomm chipset and whether you can turn off static navigation but it does not look good. I will keep searching.

[Edit]I have found the following registry entry on another site that might be of interest "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\SUPL_AGPS\GPSMode". It is defaulted to "2" but according to the other forum setting it to "1" switches off static navigation. However, after testing it still seems to be doing exactly the same. I will test further with other values.[/Edit]

As for trail, yes I have got it switched on and the scale is manually set to 25ft and I have moved a lot further than that so something should be showing.

Thanks again

D.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Nah, it seems like it can communicate with it fine, switches to SIRF, appears to send the WAAS command, but then it can't switch back to NMEA. Not sure why. SirfTool afterwords was able to.

I'll try it again.. I don't want to get too experimental, I'm not all that hot about opening my GPS to short out a capacitor to get it back. ;-) 38,400 is what I use on the laptop to work with SIRF mode, always heard that's the native baud rate for my Holux 236 and anything else may or may not work.

Regardless, two steps is much nicer.. if I want WAAS, i can enable it in the field, which I never could before.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Lord.Nibbler:
Then only Tom can answer that :D

Enable logging and send the log file to Tom.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Lord.Nibbler:
Maybe you can also try APLSirf. It is a bit less user friendly ... but maybe it will work better :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Hmm, another nice looking tool, but I can't see the point in switching static navigation on and off ;-) TomTom, iGO etc 'stick' to the road via their own algorithms.

Looks like APLSirf only switches SN on/off. Thanks for the tip though! Maybe useful for some other folks as well.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Lord.Nibbler:
It fact maybe I have misunderstood your previous post :o

I thought that SirfTool is a PC app not a PPC one.

So I suggested ALPSirf to help you to switch back from Sirf mode to NMEA mode if MMSirfSetup fail to do it :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Oops, SirfTech is the name of what I've used on the PPC. I've never gotten it standalone to get WAAS on, but MM + SiftTech works ;-)

Doesn't it make sense to put the checkbox "Exclude your owned or found items from result" (first window) to the Menu/Options/Search Settings folder ?

And may be make there 2 checkboxes out of this: exclude owned ... and exclude found ...

Greetz, Paul
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Very nice!! Works exactly like one would expect it to! The history is great, and seems to work very well, I'll experiment some more with it with coords etc, set some zip's and names.

Only quirk I see so far is that it keeps defaulting back to "Exclude your owned or found items" after I restart. Normally I'd want that enabled in reality, not sure if you intend it to remember its last setting or always default to checked.

Is it possible to make the 5-way middle button press when on a text input on the main page bring up the context menu vs go to the GPS screen? Seems it's fit better with the UI, which is one of the highlights of GCz being clean, simple, and intuitive.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] paulpille:
... Menu/Options/Search Settings config box should also be home of search parameters like:

- max # of caches to be downloaded

- radius in km/mi within which caches should be searched
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paulloft:
Waypoints and Inventory

I have the same thing happen with GPX files, it's not only the waypoints that don't load but also the inventory.

If I select 'reload cache' then the additional information is picked up and the inventory and waypoint buttons are activated (if there are any trackables in the cache). But the information does not get picked up from the GPX file.

It does the same thing when importing a GPX file generated directly from the GC website, not just when importing a GSAK generated GPX.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think this used to work okay before the last major update following the changes to the GC website. I don't remember having to reload a cache every time to get this additional information. But I could be wrong.

I also suspect the zero miles and no direction pointer on some caches is also related, as I get this on some caches when I first put them into my HTC, but if I reload the cache, then the distance and direction indicators come up okay.

Sorry, that's not an answer, but just confirming you are not the only one with the problem.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ferbricos:
