>> I have tried this with each build and im using the gpx files from the website.

>> The GCz still tries to access the internet for some reason.

GCz uses some informations from GPX file as cache index (Cache List).

But I think GPX files does not contain full information to see detail.

So, I don't know what have you done and I guess you are talking about click the Cache name on the Cache list.

So, GCz uses the GPX file as cache index but not detail.

That's why, GCz tries to connect Internet when click cache name.

>> I believe it's a position from the radio towers.

I think you mention about A-GPS.

I guess it needs to talk with Radio Interface Layer (RIL) of device directly.

Currently, I have no information about it.

Need to look into it if will do it.

>> when I try to view the acctual caches, it gives me a "Cache Not Found" error.

I think it because no Cache Code in the GPX file.

The cache list shows (BCP001) like. right?

That is not Cache Code of GC.com

Tom,

Everything is looking great, the re-ordered menus make a lot of sense except for one item..

On the main/home page, the Import GPX option is under "Option" and it seems like it'd best fit under the Cache List..

Cache List

- Prev Cache List

- Load Cache List

- Import GPX

Just a suggestion!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Gech:
I checked GPX file from GSAK(?)

The GPX file contains some URL like below.

http://members.shaw.ca/pdops/Cache/BCP001.htm

http://members.shaw.ca/pdops/Cache/BCP002.htm

then I opened some URL.

The html contains GUID.

http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=decfcc89-4dca-403c-a696-da6d00a04db6

First I thought it is nice. but not.

because ALL the same "decfcc89-4dca-403c-a696-da6d00a04db6". LOL

BCP001.htm => "decfcc89-4dca-403c-a696-da6d00a04db6"

BCP002.htm => "decfcc89-4dca-403c-a696-da6d00a04db6"

BCP003.htm => "decfcc89-4dca-403c-a696-da6d00a04db6"

aha!

tom

PS) Also, Cache Code is all "GC43F3"

Conclusion:

I tried to find a way to get Cache Detail from GC.com. (from Import GPX)

But there is not useful information in the GPX file from GSAK.

Also, no information to bridge GC.com from the GSAK web site.

If you know something about more. Please let me know.

I suppose it seems no way.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Manamana25:
Hallo,

as there are so many new ideas for this really, really great application, here are just two from me:

I wonder if it is possible to see a kind of status page...(may be is an initial page at program start?), where I see just the number of my own finds, and my own caches...

After a long cache day, i would find it great just to see, how many finds I have actually....

what do you think?

another thing i have in mind, is the number of logs of a cache...It is displayed as a total number ! I think it would be better, to see the detailed view:means: How many finds, how many DNF's, and others!...

Best regards

Marcus
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cdlh:
Tom

The full detail of the cache must be in the GPX file from Geocaching.com. If I do a PQ and receive the Zipped file, I can import full text detail (no pictures), including logs and hints into CacheMate, on the PDA (no computer needed, I get the file emailed to my phone and import ALL details from that zipped file).

So there must be a way!:confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BBosman:
It doesn't contain everything.

You don't get:

Spoiler images

Travel bugs/coins in the cache

...

Not to mention that the information it does contain could be stale.

Absolutely, all needed info missing.

It does not contain important info to get from GC.com.

Anyway, I suppose will not work for this.

Because lots of other features need to implement.

Otherwise, how about converter from GPX(GSAK) to (Cache).xml

It might be work.

You have the GPX file and (Cache).xml.

Just convert it. ;D

Here is my comment.

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

Suggestions:

-- Refresh of the Cachelist with current coordinates

(Done)

-- Search by Trackable number

(????)

-- Cache along a route

(will be)

-- Caching tools - waypoint projection, ROT 13 decrypter, checksum calculator

(not planned yet)

-- "I would like to see an adjustable speed threshold for location updates in GPS mode. In one instance I was very slowly moving around and the location seemed to be frozen. I think this behavior was an very early feature request and not a bug."

(I can not see the meaning.)

-- "While context sensitive configurations help to prevent unnecessary clutter I prefer to find all the config options in one place accessible the same way from wherever I am in the menu hierarchy. But that's personal preference..."

(Please give me suggestion what exactly should be. ;D)

-- Searchable cachelist (GPX lists can by up to 500 caches long)

(????)

-- "It would be great to see all the caches from a multi cache visible on the radar with your arrow pointing to the "active" cache and maybe arrow buttons for the next/previous cache."

(not planned yet.)

-- "1 thing that would make this app, "over-the-top" is some sort of sonar or ping that would speed up as one got closer to the target cache. This might also require a button or option to silence the "ping" as some might find it annoying."

(not planned yet.)

--"is there a way to use the position returned from googlemaps?"

(currently, not)

-- cachetour: select caches for a cachetour and save them as a cachelist

(will be)

-- cache attributes

(will be)

-- add picture to a log entry

(not planned yet.)

-- Use cache type icon on gps monitor screen

(hmmm... possible but useful?)

-- Customizable waypoint icon on gps monitor screen

(I have no idea how to get the icon?)

-- "Offline" mode selecting of "Center" cache for distance sorting

(it means, "Sort by Distance from selected Cache"? if so, done)

-- Sort cache list based on name,distance,date placedd,last log date,owner,waypoint code,etc

(will be) (except some items)

Bug Fixes: (please state your device and Operating system)

--GPX issue (relies on geocaching.com)

(????)

--Spoiler Images url parsing error. http://xdaforums.com/show...&postcount=973

(Need to check)

--Long Cache name truncated on list and details page. http://xdaforums.com/show...&postcount=974

(that is design limitation of Microsoft. I think can not change Height of listview.

It must be all the same height. if change the height.

Other short titile caches consume screen space.

And decrease the number of caches in the screen without scroll.)

--after filling path & application in image viewer settings and exiting GCz, settings are lost when calling GCz again. http://xdaforums.com/show...postcount=1022

(Can not find this issue. how to reproduce it?)

--Just found a small bug. If a log entry contains HTML on the first line then its shown as HTML in the cache logs list page. I've attached a couple of screen shots to show an example.

(currently, this is design. not a bug. but will change from HTML to [: D] like.)

Hi Tom,

I just updated to .20 on my Sony XPeria X1. I can load caches and cache listings just fine, but clicking on the cache name with the middle button or on the touch screen doesn't show me the cache details anymore.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] realhuette:
"Sort by cache" has status "will be". Therefore greyed out. That has nothing to do with the accidentally uploaded test version of .20

Problem with test version was that you could not open cache detail page.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] djhobby:
Thanks for this great software app. As others have stated it's the best geocaching app out there, and I too was ready to scrap my perfectly workable WM device for something more trendy until now. I've used this for a few days now and I couldn't be happier. I'm almost embarrassed to even suggest any tweaks to your awesome software :o But here is what is on my wishlist.

On the cache page with the buttons "description" "cache logs" etc.. I have a hard time seeing what I have highlighted. (probably not an issue for touch screen users, but I use the 5 way buttons to navigate) the little green outline is hard to see in some light. I would love to see the whole button change color when highlighted.

I would love to be able to mark a cache found or DNF. Currently what I do is after I find/DNF a cache I make a note as found or DNF and then go back home and look at the notes, and make my logs from home. I used to use cachemate till I found this, and what it does is after you find/DNF is you can mark it found and then when you go back to your cache list it is already sorted by next nearest caches. Maybe a counter that could be reset with your finds and DNFs.

Something that GSAK has that could be implemented, on the cache list page, along with the name and the cache size who hid etc... there could be an indication of the last 4 attempts. GSAK has four little squares tiled that are colored. Red for not found, grey for NO finds, Yellow for maintenance, and green for found. That way you could look at a cache and see right away that the last 4 people DNF and this cache is probably gone.

As far as images, you could have a gallery button on the cache page along with "description" "cache logs" etc.. Click gallery and it will download the images. Also I would like to be able to click an image in the cache description and have it downloaded and viewed.

Along with search by attribute etc... how about direction, search all caches North of my position etc.. Also a sort by direction.

Thanks again for this excellent software. As soon as I have some extra spending money I'm going to fly to your location (Japan?) buy you dinner and find some geocaches with you.:D Or if you want I'll just donate via Paypal:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Titus_Andronicus:
There realy is nothing more. GC.com does not have any of the information. All the information on coordinates, hints, previous finds and DNFs are all contained in the GPX file. You will have no luck trying to find them on GC.com. Either you can not support this sort of file because it doesn't fit the intended use of GCz, or you will have to mine the data from the GPX file.

PS I posted the file 2 times. The one found in this post is more compleate. You should look at that one.

PPS even without this GPX fix, GCzII is the best geocaching software out there. Even beats the official iPhone and Tremble software! Thanks again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Titus_Andronicus:
In the cache info window select Menu, then Post Log. Then you can directly post a log to GC.com.

I have a touch screen, but I think that this is a good idea. Even though GCz is not designed for non touch screens, this seems like a rather easy fix that could help a lot.

Bookmarking Caches

Hello,

Like the others before me, first wanted to thank you, Gech, for creating this most excellent application.

Second, I'm not sure if this is a feature request or just finding a different way of using the software that will address what I'm looking for.

Let's say I look up some caches close to me from my home PC; I solve the puzzles then wish to have those caches available on my phone with GCzII. I don't have a geocaching.com premium account, so can't export GPX files from there. If I search for caches by location, there is no way to highlight those particular caches that I'm interested in in the list. The only way I have found is to search for the caches by cache code then hit Save to save it to the search history. That works, but it would be much nicer to have a "bookmark list", or a way to save a particular cache to a specific cache list file. Accessing geocaching.com bookmarks are not useful to me since that's also a premium feature.

Thanks so much,

EnigmaticSoul

EDIT: I also just tried exporting to GPX (using v0.2.33.20) and receive the message:

EDIT 2: The GPX directory did not exist. Export worked once I manually created that directory in the path specificed. Note that this doesn't really addrsess my original question, since I can't export just one selected cache in the list - it exports the entire list. Is there some other obvious thing that I'm missing?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] realhuette:
a little bug: when resorting the cachelist by -let's say- current coordinates, the arrows showing the direction do not change. did i see right?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] realhuette:
sorry, i am wrong. the arrows *do* change! :o
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Titus_Andronicus:
2 questions:

If I have added a bunch of waypoints in a cache, if I Reload Cache, will the waypoints go away? (Answer: They seem to stay)

What is the maximum number of waypoints you can add to a single cache? (Anser: 20)

This cache with added waypoints is saved. Can I back it up, and or send it to other users for them to use? Where would the file be located (or is it part of a database)? (Answer: The files are in the ...\GCz\Caches\ directory. The waypoint have a .wpt extention, while the cache has a .xml extention)

OK that was more than 2 questions but oh well.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cdlh:
:pDoh!:o

Sorry a bit slow there!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Titus_Andronicus:
Request:

I would find it usefull if more than 20 waypoints were possible (say 398).

Also, if waypoints could have a Found, not found, DNF setting.

Also, if waypoints could be sorted by distance. (maybe that was already covered. I was not paying attention to that topic)

That would solve my GPX issue previously talked about. After the initial setup of the waypoints, I would have just as good of a result.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kinglee:
What do you mean by 20 waypoints? I have 189 on a one page list.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] leeperryar:
New test version is working fine for pulling caches now. It does really suck that they are switching all of these things up which keep breaking the program. Thanks for the quick turnaround also!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Titus_Andronicus:
Request: Tom, have you ever thought about adding a "Contact cache owner" feature? Not sure if it is needed that bad, but may be handy for reporting cache issues.

Waypoints are added coordinates within a cache. If you have been following my GPX topic, I am trying to get the 398 coordinates for a single GC.com cache into GCzII. First I tried the GPX thing, but because these waypoints were not actualy listed on GC.com, didn't work. So I thought that I could add them to the cache as waypoints. Worked great till I reached 20 waypoints. So, still stuck using BasicGPS for this cache (not for any normal caches though). But I think that I will just use BasicGPS as a data base, and add each waypoint that I am hunting for into GCz when I need it. GCz is soooo much better for almost everything.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] paulpille:
Thx Tom for reacting so quickly ... I had the same problem with GC login.

Now I have 2 other issues:

1) when tapping on a cache in a cache list, the pics are not loaded although the last "skip download check boxes" are set to unchecked. So I always have to call the reload cache function additionally.

2) the image viewer is greyed out in the Description/Menu although the path is set in "Image Viewer Settings"

Hi Tom

Thanks for your instructions regarding missing Target Cursor.

I tried version 0.2.33.20 just now and sadly still encountered same issue.

Believe it has something to do with 240x240 (Square screen). I have no idea how to edit the XML.

Anyway, I waited for my GPS to lock on and set cache location. On GPS Monitor, I can see my blue orb with trail behind as well as Red Orb (cache.) However the Target Cursor still doesn't show up.

I have also tried both with/without Big Target Cursor.txt file but still same result :-(

Like others here, I also experienced issues authenticating after v...20 - but managed to resolve it without needing to upgrade. I looked at the files HTTP_Log\01_LoginAuth.html and 02_LoginResult.html - neither made any indication of a login failure. So I actually entered my credentials in the form on these pages and logged on to geocaching.com from the form contained in one of these files (also choosing to have it remember me via cookies) - GCzII was then able to logon without further problems.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mistm:
Does "Post log" work for you? It worked for me in previous versions but today when I click the option just waiting clocks appear and then they dissapear and nothing happens. Maybe its caused by geocaching.com as they probably changed something (i mean like login issue)
