Isaac: the program's not yet a Release Candidate, so no search works in this phase. :D

Now we test Tom's implementation of NMEA and the new Radar function at the same time.

So if you want to help, install it, enter manually some nearby waypoint to the GPS monitor and post some feedback about how it works on your machine.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Gech:
Hi!!

I change some codes.

1) Add GPS Logging option.

2) GPS Logging indicator "+" on Top screen. (Near the NICQUE LOGO.)

3) GPS Monitor range (Square -> Circle)

4) Add "Speed" & "Degrees" on GPS Monitor.

5) Change Blue Arrow behavior. It only appears when moving.

please visit below to see screenshots and get CAB file.

One thing which I would surely forget later: :)

On my Kaiser I have set switching off after 1 minute (to save battery). The GPS also switches off. Could you keep the device on while GCz running?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Lord.Nibbler:
Hello Tom ! your app is wonderful, I love it !!!! :cool:

I tested with integrated GPS on Glofiish V900 and it is ok !

I would suggest you some features to help to find the caches :

1°) Instead of keeping "north up" and display a blue arrow for moving direction and red arrow for cache direction, please add an option to always keep the moving direction "blue arrow always up" so when you keep your screen in front of you, the red arrow will point in the real direction of the cache :cool:

2°) I would also really appreciate a "ghost-trail" ie. keep the last few (10 or 20) positions while you are walking and display them on the radar with a fading effect : your current position is the blinking blue one, then in a fading gradient from blue to white you can see your last movements. This way you can see if you are going in the right direction or if your turning around the cache ... :D

Cheers !

Nibbler.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Lord.Nibbler:
I imagine the ghost trail something like this :

This would allow to see your relative recent movements around the cache :)

Hi, you're programme is just awesome!

But is there any possibility to search for nearby caches? Like "Search by Current Location"? This option (the "go"-Button) is greyed out for me...

I have a GPS-signal established...so what am I doing wrong? ^^
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] derlbear:
Click "Download Cache List" or how it's named in English and check all boxes like I did it in the German version (picture). Then it only reloads the logs. You can also check only the first 3 boxes if you want the log pictures.

Feature Request

I would love to see static maps have the option to download Map, Satellite , or Terrain. This would make the, in my opinion be the cherry on the top of a already awsome app. Lets face it, for most places that I would like static maps, the map does me no good because it is just a blank sheet with no landmarks. The satellite veiw is often not much better as there is no high resolution pictures of the area, but is some help. But the terrain usualy is exelent.

As always Tom, thanks for this great app. It realy makes the rest look like junk.

Odd problem with Cache Not Found Error

Hi - super software which has been working fine - until now!

The application does download cache list details but when selecting one to view it comes back with Cache Not Found.

The security configs for mobile ie are OK and the correct lat and long data in the cache detail file are also correct along with all of the information about the caches listed - tried to re-install to no effect. So the 09_CacheDetail file is present and correct. I am logged in correctly and if I open the 09_CacheDetail file it displays all of the information - just will not display in the application! Frustrating! Any help or advice welcomed.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Gech:
I have no problem to see cache detail.

Why don't you try to share much detail info.

1) Which version GCz?

2) How to reproduce it?

>> how to donwload more than 100 caches in ono downloading proces?

Maximum download cache is 100 in one process.

After that only 20 caches each process manually.

---------

Majjin

If you check ON all 4 checkbox, that will not download anything if already the caches downloaded.

Check ON means

1st: download anything if the cache already stored before.

2nd: skip download all images (download any images)

3rd: skip images which are contained in description.

4th: skip images which are contained in Logs.

so, if you want to download images check OFF the checkbox.

Audio Alerts.

Tom,

great work, ive been following since the early days.

Would it be possible to add some audio alerts ?

ive tried `gpsbasic` before and it has Audio alerts to announce the distance to a cache, it would save getting the device out of you pocket/bag when you know your going in the right path/direction already.

some options of ...

1. a `ping` noise with a delay relative to the distance from cache.

2. a user selectable wav file and user selectable distance to announce when within range.

thanks,

Stuart.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Majjin:
So there isn't a way to download only logs?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
I've also heard of this idea before, and the way I heard it done was that if you needed to change heading you had a different tone, ie: clockwise higher pitched then counter clockwise.. And as you say, the sound gets faster as you get closer. Perhaps a config to set the tone for each to please everyone on what pitch would be desired would be good. :)

And a mute button on the Monitor, that's for sure. I hate when I'm caching in an urban area and forget to mute my other caching program (GeoNitch within styletap, although I use it less and less these days!) which starts giving me a sound at a configurable distance from the cache.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SecretAgentMan:
Posting logs without a data connection.

I'm curious about how GCz handles posting logs when no data connection is available. Does it cache them until a data connection is available and then upload them, or does it just throw off an error?

I haven't been able to test this since my phone re-initiates a data connection when required, and I haven't recently been in any areas where I have no data. :p

Thx!

Features I have seen in cachemate that could be a good addition to GCzII.

1. Auto sort of cache list based on distance from last cache logged, field note, quick mark.

2. log templates. (Text files that are preloaded on the post log or field note log text), I different textfile for found, not found, or needs maintenance.

3. offline travel bug inventory with a nag screen if you have kept the bug too long after a set amount of days.

4. Travel bug change log containing the drops, grabs, discoveries. This is a textfile listing the bug serial numbers and caches that they where drop, grab or discovered. After a long trip it is easiler to print a text file out and log TB's on the computer at home.

5. cache list search feature or filter. Maybe filter difficulty and/or terrain on a cache list.

Also, there was a mention of photos in earlier post, maybe possible to geocode exif picture information with the gps coordinates in phone, to use with mapping programs where a picture was taken at.

if you download same pics many times. it just count 1.

Also, you are not download from Google Static Map site.

the URL should be started from

>> If there is the design limit 500. Will be possible to search across more than one list ?

It depends on free memory size and if expand the count more than 500.

Some users will have "GCz can not load issue" again.

Tom

Is there any way to include a scale on the static maps? It would help to be able to estimate the distances between points on a static map. This could help with finding the cache while using static maps.

(Even nicer would be a tool to measure the distance between points on a static map. Would really help when planning new caches, and with solving puzzle caches).

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] del4:
Thanks for adding in #2 so quickly. However, there are several other things I've noticed:

If I attempt to use either the Quick Mark->Found it or Quick Mark->Didn't find it options on a cache not showing the folder icon (which means cache info has been downloaded), I get the error File open failed. [\Storage Card\My Documents\Geocaching\GCzII\Cache_DB\GC16HFE\GC16HFE.fnd. Is there a way to use the Quick Mark feature without having to download the full cache details beforehand, which creates the directory for the cache in the \GCzII\Cache_DB\ folder?

If we mistakenly mark the wrong cache as found/not found using Quick Mark there's no way to fix that mistake. Could you add a Clear option to the Quick Mark menu for these instances?

Similar to #2, if we mistakenly post a log to the wrong cache, there's no way to correct that mistake. Any chance of having the ability to edit our logs posted to GC.com? (I think I know the answer, but figured it couldn't hurt to ask. ;)

Still missing the Red X to mark caches we've logged as DNF. Works fine for Field Notes, but it's missing when we Post Log.

An option to purge Cache data could be nice to have, though I realize it may cause problems with the cache lists. Currently, my Cache_DB directory is nearly 100MB in size and contains several thousand files. Rather than clearing things out completely, an option to clear out cache data for just found caches would probably be the best way to go?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] del4:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] del4:
Long cache names

Sometimes, while hunting a series of caches in an area, the displayed part of the cache name in the cache list is all the same, so you need to go into each to find the specific one you may be searching for. Could you implement one of the following options (in order of preference) to help with this:

1 - Have the cache name of the highlighted cache scroll, like many mp3 apps do, so that the entire name can be viewed by waiting an extra second or two

2 - Allow us to set the font size for the displayed text so that more of the name could fit in that area of the screen

3 - Add horizonal sliders so that long names can be read
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] del4:
Two more feature requests:

1 - Add an option to also exclude Temporarily Disabled caches from the search results (in addition to owned or found items, as done currently). Maybe split these options out so users can choose separately which groups of caches to exclude? If the cache is disabled, I'm not likely to waste time stopping anyway, so I'd rather have the option to not even display them in my list...

2 - Add an indicator to the cache list to show those caches which contain additional waypoints, especially user-added waypoints, such as the final coords for puzzle caches. A closely-related request would be to add an option similar to one supported by CacheMate and GSAK where you are able to provide Corrected Coordinates for a cache that are not overwritten by the actual cache coords upon a subsequent reload or GPX import. This could be implemented by creating a special type of waypoint that, when exists, is used as the cache coords instead of the posted coords. This would allow solved puzzle caches to show up properly in the lists in terms of their distance from other caches and your current location.
