I noticed something odd last night and though I'd share even though I think it's a problem with geocaching.com.

I was getting ready to hit a few caches late at night and looked on mapquest to see where they were at, when I used gcz to pull them up one didn't show. It was GC1EV4H that didn't show and the zip code was 50021. We drove to the that interesction and hit search for caches in the area and it still didn't pop up? As far as I can tell all the rest showed up fine.

I can't say thank you enough for this program, it's definatly one of the most used programs I have right now!

edit: on further investigation it apears to be the same problem others are posting logs for. Whats weird is that I can get the cache to pop-up on a search for area code 50021 but get the "cache not found" bug when I click on it. BUT if I search for the cache by name everything works as normal...right down to google maps.

I noticed on the listing in GCZ there are a few extra characters (squares) so I took a screenshot. I checked this users other listings and these characters do not show for the other listings.

I have been getting the cache not found error too. here are the logs.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] LK123:
I am with T-Mobile in the U.S. (using t-zones) and I also get Cache not Found with GCz (WiFi works just fine). The zip is attached. From what I can tell, the difference is in the img tag links -- t-zones apparently rewrites the image links to its own proxies. I wonder if you could do anything about parsing those URLs more gracefully?

For example:

<img src="../images/icons/compass/S.gif" alt="S" title="S" border=0>​

vs.

<img src="http://10.160.168.155/www.geocaching.com/images/icons/compass/S.gif" alt="S" title="S" border=0>​

Hi AmazingMonkey & Jabba1701 & LK123

Thank you for the Log.

I checked the logs and understand what LK123 said.

For example:

<img src="../images/icons/compass/S.gif" alt="S" title="S" border=0>

vs.

<img src="http://10.160.168.155/www.geocaching.com/images/icons/compass/S.gif" alt="S" title="S" border=0>

-----------

HTML codes had been modified by someone. (Proxy server?)

I will check GCz program (especially HTML parser parts).

But I suppose many changes needed to support it.

(and probabbly, I will not be able to change it because have not enough time.)

So, I think easy way to use GCz, I recommend that turn off Proxy of your mobile operator.

thank you

Error message when opening GCzII

I got a new HTC phone today - an HTC HD Mini.

This phone has a screen resolution of 480x320.

When I open GCzII I get the following error message:

File open failed. [\Program Files\GCzII\Skin\COMMON\480x320.txt]

I click ok then get this error message:

Unknown screen size. [480x320]

The GCzII program doesn't open.

Is this something Tom can fix - does GCzII need a programing change to add this screen size?

I love this program and rely on it for my geocaching. I'd appreciate assistance in getting it running on this new phone.

Thanks... Chrys
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paulloft:
YES!

That's exactly it.

Strooth, how on earth did you find how to do that? I would never have found it on my own.

Thank you

Give users a chance to fix fatching stuff

I think a really good thing would be to code GCZii with the chance to give users the opportunity to fix the parsing stuff from GC.com via userscripts,...

Even if an API would be great - just an XML with a standardized parts for the fetching stuff would also help - then fixes would be available only hours later,...

In my german version:

There is only:

Namen = name

Code = code

Typ = type

Größe = size

Besitzer = owner

Datum = date

Schwierigkeit = difficulty

Gelände = terrain

No "found it" or "DNF"

Am I blind?

Just Follow the steps step by step starting from the home screen.... NOT from a cachelist.

Is this a list of all caches stored under Cache_DB?

Limited by <GCz_REG_CACHE_LIST_MAX>500</GCz_REG_CACHE_LIST_MAX>?

I think I have thousands of Caches on my HD2, because I've collected lots for summer holidays, to use them offline.

Hope for a fix, I like this software, and I dont like to be behind my Iphone friend:-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paulloft:
You'll never be behind your iPhone friend. He'll run out of battery while you just pop in a fresh replacement :)

Read back one page for an explanation of why you have the 'cache not found' error on version 47 and what you can still use GCz to do before a fix is issued.

You want to work with a list of 50,000 caches on your phone? :D

Or are you talking about gpx files with one cache in each?

dear tom,

i would like to test your GCII app but when i try to

get the gps started it shows an error

COM-port could not be opened

[COMO:4800]

i use a htc-hd2 winmob6.5 prof

surely you can help

thanks

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paulloft:
In the GPS settings, have you tried ticking the box that says:

"Manage GPS automatically"

I have my settings set to:

COM Port: COM2

Baud Rate 4800

GPS accuracy 6

and the automatic box ticked.

This on an HD2

Final idea: When I wasn't sure which com port to use I googled my phone com port and several sites gave me the answer as to which one to use.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] klaps:
Thanks mate

that did it..

but now i have a new problem:

i do get a list but when i select one it says

no cache found

i really would be glad for your help

Cache not found error

" CACHE NOT FOUND " ERROR​

The latest version of GCz (20100719_1330_0235_47) is currently not fully functional following website changes at gc.com.

This means that there are no fully functional versions of GCz currently available.

Tom the developer will issue a fixed version as soon as time allows and until he does we will all have to be patient.

Remember, GCz will still be fully functional in 'offline' mode. Just load your cache lists from GPX files generated either from Pocket Queries or a database such as GSAK.

Note: You need Premium Membership to use Pocket Queries to generate GPX files (but it's not expensive)

With the cache lists loaded from GPX files, you can still view cache descriptions, past logs, hints etc which will allow you to hunt caches.

The cache logging function (Found, Not Found, Post Note etc) IS still working. GCz reports an error but just press cancel, the log will post OK.

Check back here regularly for progress reports and possible temporary fixes from Tom.

Check the developer's page for the next full version release. http://www.nicque.com/PQz/GCz.htm

Also check the dedicated GCz forum for info and updates: http://gczii.newstarforum.com​

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paulloft:
Bad timing, you just get it working and...it's not working.

But don't give up, if you can get cache details into GCz (GPX files) you can still do all the important stuff - including finding caches and posting logs.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paulloft:
No tutorial no, sorry.

You need to have premium membership at GC.com to get a GPX file (either as a single cache GPX or a multi cache Pocket Query).

There's loads of stuff in the GC.com knowledgebase about pocket queries.

When you have got yourself a gpx file, simply put it on your phone.

Then open GCz and from the main screen:

Menu>Cache List>Import GPX

Navigate to your gpx file and select it.

GCz will load it up for you and display the caches in a list. Save this list and give it a name.

There, that's all the tutorial I have time for tonight ... good luck :)

And remember, you can't really break anything so have a good play
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] derlbear:
If you use EasyGPS or GSAK you can drag&drop the files into the program and you're done. Export the result and you have one file.

What I do (I cancelled my premium membership):

1. Load loc files into the software "Cachewolf" (it's actually German afaik).

2. Spider gc.com for these caches with Cachewolf.

3. Export to .gpx (These .gpx files don't work with GCzII).

4. Open GSAK, import .gpx .

5. Export .gpx (GSAK)

6. Import .gpx (GCzII)

Ready :) Very complicated.. I did that only today because I wanted to hunt some caches before I went to the cinema (Inception - really good). I hope GCzII will work again!

Does someone know the reason why other programs like c:geo for Android don't have problems like GCzII? I tested an old version on my girlfriend's phone and it still works without any problems. It doesn't have an API access afaik.. so why does this still work and GCzII not?

Cheers,

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] David1052:
Hi Paul did this

Menu => Cache List => Create Cache List.... (wait)...

Menu => Sort => Cache (Found it/DNF) /

Menu => Check => Found it (Blue tick)

Menu => Create Cache List.......

Got a big list but what is this list

Thanks David
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paulloft:
It should be a list of any caches in your device that you have marked as found.

A rather brilliant solution discovered not by me, to solve the issue I was having with identifying my found caches from a large list of caches at the end of a busy day.

All the caches in the list you have generated should have a blue tick against them, indicating you have marked them as found.

If you don't have anything in the list, then you haven't found any :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paulloft:
Why?

How do you live without Pocket Queries :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] derlbear:
I cancelled it because I don't want to waste my money for Iphone users. If they support WM (and a tool that's at least as good as GCzII!), they'll get at least one premium member back.

I live with GCzII :)

Cheers,

derlbear
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paulloft:
Ah, right, a protest rather than a "I don't need it" or "I can't afford it". Makes sense.

Good as GCz is, and it is very good as we all know, it's main drawback (for me) is it only pulls down a full list of local area caches - mystery, multi, trads, various difficulty ratings etc.

For planning a day out I like to plan in advance which caches I want to aim for after reviewing them on the website.

To be able to then produce a list of my chosen caches together with a map (from GSAK with myGME mapping) is invaluable, and I wouldn't give that up, even as a protest :)

Once I have the list, I pop it into GCz and that becomes my list for the day, called something like "Sunday 1st".

Then I have a 2nd list which is generally everything within a 10 or 20 mile radius of where I am going. That's my backup list in case something pops up on tomtom that I missed from my target list.

All done with pocket queries and gpx files so no real need to download anything in the field, and I have everything I'm likely to need for the day.

I'd also miss the notifications of new caches published.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] derlbear:
Well, I also think that I don't really need it :)

Same here :)

I don't use the online functions of GCzII either. I also plan my cache tours before I leave home, but I use the geocaching map of gc.com. There we search the caches that are interesting and on our route, or not too far away.. add them to GCzII and that's it.

My "backup" is wifi or 3G.. but I've NEVER used it before on the road :)

Me, too. I can do all these things as a normal member, too. As a premium member the planing time was a bit shorter.. but that's ok.

THAT'S!! the only function I miss :)

Dropping a TB

@All

Anyone tried logging a note or find and dropping a TB with the new version yet?

Just tried a test note on one of my caches and when I get to the final part of posting a log the inventory button (which usually lets you add a TB to the cache) stays greyed out.

Can anyone confirm this problem?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] totto222:
I can confirm this one as to the button staying grey on mine too....

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paulloft:
I'm wondering if it is because the TB handling is now much much different on GC.com (with 'visiting' now an option and a drop down box rather than just selecting the TB and sending the log)

Maybe Tom got all the other bits working but is still working on the TB aspect.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _Rayman_:
Found Date?

I'm just back from vacation, where I found several caches. During vacation I marked the particular caches as "found" in GCzII v47.

Back home: For logging all these caches at the GC website I wondered where (and if) I can find the date when I marked the cache as found in GCzII?

I didn't find out the logging date in GCzII caches so I had to review all my photos and remember what was where ;-/

1 - thank Tom for great job

before I nstalled cab file and everything was done well, but now I just upset. I never before installed on my HTC Touch 2 exe files. Help pls with some link. Just don't know how to find in googl. Tryed install directly from PC, but myu windows 7 said sorry it's not valid 32 bit app ..

thx in advance

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Micha_X1:
Just simply copy this exe into the programmfolder ..\Program Files\GCzII and replace the old one. That's it! ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paulloft:
There's a field notes file in the GCzII folder (called fieldnotes.txt).

You can open this up and each line represents a log and will give you the exact date and time you marked the cache as found.

You can also upload this txt file to GC.com and it will prepare all your logs ready just to confirm and post each one.

There may be other ways to find the log date in GCz but I would use the fieldnotes.txt file.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CaptainBarber:
thx older bro :) if I could know that it was so easy. now evr works

once again thx Tom for app and for update so soon after disconection from GC webpage

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Elmtempelriddaren:
I tried out the fixed version but it seems that there is a little bit to do.

If I find a new cache by the search function of GCzII and look in the description the maps didnt download. Your find only the placeholders.

I hope Tom can fix this too.

Thanks for your great work Tom.

Hi, Thanks Tom for your work.

I have a problem that is surely not caused by GCzII but maybe someone can help. I installed a win 6.5 ROM on my HTC Touch Pro2 and since then, I cannot scroll cache listings by finger swiping in GCzII. I have to pull the scrollbar on the right. Probably it is just some kind of setting somewhere in the system but I have no idea where. Can anyone help?

Thanks a lot.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paulloft:
Not a setting. You can't scroll the description page with your finger. It's a known issue in later versions of GCz and is thought to be a windows issue.

It was discussed a while back but can't blame you for not finding it in this rather large thread.
