Great idea, consider me a member of your translation team - into Czech language.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Can you please quote references to people being asked to not have signatures of programs in their logs? I routinely see several such type signatures, including the Trimble Navigator which Geocaching has in many places on their own site. There's a difference between what likely happens of people spamming logs and a signature of the program used.

I don't see the problem with the signature myself.

The next point:

I posted about GCz in our local geocaching-forum and some people have some

issues with older devices. they need an option to manually config the gps-port and baudrate. is that possible?

Internet connection [ConnMgrEstablishConnection] failed

Not sure if this helps, but I had the same error using T-Mobile here in the UK. The problem turned out to be T-Mobiles proxy server (SpeedManager?).

I turned it off bu going to setting -> connections , clicking connections icon , click advanced tab, click "Select Networks" button, Click "edit" button on top option (programs that connect to internet use this connection = 'T-Mobile Internet'). Click "Proxy Settings" tab and untick second tick box "this network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet". Click OK and its done.

AT&T Fuze

Great software, has promted me to forgo my Garmin Colorado!!

I have the same issue as a previous poster a while back with the "Cache not found" message. Although they were on T-Mobile I'm running version 0.0.32 on an AT&T Fuze. The cache list comes up, the Google maps works, and no problems with GPS or searching for nearbys but when I try to get cache detail by clicking on a cache in the list, I get the "Cache not found message". I tried both IE and Opera with the same results.

Any advice?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] realhuette:
Wow! That software really looks great!

Since there is nothing like Trimbles Geocache Navigator on Windows Mobile, GCz could be my favourite software.

At the moment, there are two problems for me: as someone already wrote, the compass shows opposite direction (on a HTC Artemis)!! In old China, south was up, but in Japan? ;)

Second: there is no support for multistage caches, right? I can't see additional waypoints etc. Or am I blind?

Thanx for the efforts,

I am sure that will be a perfect software soon.

Hi all,

Today, I upload COM port GPS test tool.

Please visit the URL below.

http://d.hatena.ne.jp/Gzh/20090403#1238754869

1) Top > Menu > Option > GPS

COM port:

Baud rate:

2) Top > Menu > Option > Google Map

Google Map exe file path:

3) Top > Menu > GPS Monitor

4) GPS Monitor > Menu > Google Map.

if GPS (COM port) works correctly,

The locations (GCz and Google Map) could be matched on Mobile Google Map.

Please test it and feedback please.

thanks,

tom
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jack_Brody:
Perfect match here!

First I waited until PDOP was about 3 (I think) so the GPS was accurate enough, then did the test. Set up COM port 4, baud rate 9600.

See the attached picture.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
WHAT A TEASER! It looks great, but everything is disabled ;-)

GPS works good here, set it to COM1 38400 (which is what I have GPSGate set to for sharing my Bluetooth GPS) and it worked dandy, monitor looked fine etc. However, Google Maps seems to be receiving 38.0 84.5 for me, rather than 38 -84.5 so it winds up on the wrong side of the world.

The interface and everything looks very nice. And is the little GPS monitor widget under your icon in the bottom-right corner new, or had I just not noticed it before?

Look forward to the final version, and happy to try any futher test or betas. :)

HI Jack_Brody

Hi khaytsus

SO, you live "Lat:N38/Lon:W84.5" on the Earth.

GCz GPS Monitor shows "Lat:N38/Lon:W84.5"

but GoogleMap "Lat:N38/Lon:E84.5".

Is my understanding correct?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
I should have explained better. Let me write down exactly what it's showing. It *looked* right to me to be honest, perhaps Google Maps was not accepting the data input quite right. Not sure, but here's exactly what I see:

GPS Monitor looks right, says:

Lat: N 38 x.xxxx

Lon: W 84 x.xxxx

Google Maps says:

Current Location

(N) 038 xx.xxxxx

(W) 084 xx.xxxxx

But the results are apparently 38,84.5 which is in China.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] derlbear:
Is it possible to get rid of this new POI export? It was better to have only 1 POI instead of 20 different files. Or am I the only one who thinks so? I know that someone wanted to have this feature, but I think it is more irritating than helpful.

Cheers,

derlbear

Edit: The feature you wanted, CouchPotato, would be more useful when you would NOT have GCzII installed to find caches (geocaching by accident). There are several sources in the internet that provide such POIs for TomTom for the whole country and that is exactly the thing you want, isn't it? Driving around and see on TomTom if there are interesting caches around you.

khaytsus said:

and I think that this fits perfectly. I don't know how many caches you export using GCzII so there's a need for this feature. But I think most of us use it to list the caches we have in GCzII (and we know that it is a traditional or whatever) in TomTom.

Now you can't click "GCzII" in TomTom anymore to see your list, but you have to know the category the cache belongs to to set it as the target.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ulihoden:
Feature request

The Timestamp doesn´t work in GCZ und the <br> in the Logtext doesn´t work on gc.com. please change <br> to [br] - then works fine

Sorry for the bad english
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
I was afraid of that too.. If I'm caching what I looked up in GCzII, I'd prefer to just open a list of POI's, not then have to look up each individual POI group..

Tom, I have two suggestions... Whichever you think makes more sense.

POI (TomTom) export has two options, one creates POIs per category and the other creates one GCzII category (like the first POI export function did).

Or the POI export creates POIs per category AND a GCzII POI which has all exported POIs in it (so one can pick within TomTom how they wish to search).

Caveat: Second option MIGHT show the "GCzII" POIs on top or instead-of the specific ones, "covering up" the category-specific POI bitmap, which was the reason for the request for the separate POIs to start with, so option one might work out the best. I see this sometimes when I have 'duplicate' POIs, such as a cache I haven't found AND it's on my "Lonely" list. One would be white, the other Orange. I sometimes see White, sometimes Orange. Not sure what the internal TomTom logic is in this regard, but it's outside of GCz control.

different POI-Icons for additional waypoints (TomTom)

Hello Tom!

Many many thanks for the fantastic POI-Export to TomTom! :)

Only one thing is missing:

- different Icons for the additional waypoints from Groundspeak

Here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4280409&postcount=1548

i posted TomTom-POI-Icons for additional waypoints.

TomTom can show you

- Parking Area !

- Question to answer

- Stage of a multicache

- Trailhead

- Final

separate on the map.

Could you please separate the waypoints into these categories?

The people who don't want this type of POI-Export could use the "one icon for one cache"-mode you provided as your first solution as an option.

Additional waypoints should not be in that export imho.

So best solution imho would be:

Option 1: (german: "nur 1 Icon je Cache")

POI-Export 1 Icon:

Only one icon for each cache. No export of additional waypoints.

Option 2: (german: "verschiedene Icons pro Cachekategorie")

POI-Export different Icons for each cache-type (as you did) and for each different waypoint category AND as addition the same file you would give in option 1.

One can use then in TomTom the wanted option(s). In TomTom it is perfectly configureable which POI one would see on the map.

For searching one could use the merged file from Option 1 even if it is not shown on the map!

Once configured, these settings would stay permanent even if a new export from GCzII is done. Only new POI-files are automatically enabled the first time they are detected in the map-directory of TomTom.

Tomhiro, you are my hero! ;)

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] derlbear:
1 item for ONE cache? Or do you mean "all caches in one item"?

Still, I think it's not necessary to have different POIs because there ARE actually such POIs in the internet of ALL caches. You even posted one. Nevermind, Tom already did it and if you can switch this function off, then it's all right.

But I'm interested in how many people, except you, will use this feature.

That's a better translation.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] roderickhowie:
In my case step 1 is different. I use GCzII to grab the data (so NOT a GPX file import from GC.com but however the app gets its info) and use that to export a GPX file. It is this "scraped" GPX file that contains these characters.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] del4:
Post Log feature, esp Log Templates

I wish I'd known about this app sooner as it does everything the iPhone app, which I've long been coveting, does and more. I would like to add my thanks to the developer for all the effort put into this great app and for their releasing it as freeware.

That being said, there are of course a couple improvements I'd like to suggest to make this great app even better, IMHO.

The first involves the Post Log function. It would be nice if a default type of log, e.g., Found It, could be set so that you don't have to select it every time but only on those few occasions where you're logging a note, a DNF or a Needs Maintenance log. After all, most logs are 'Found It', right? :)

Within the text of the Post Log function, it would be helpful if we could have, as Mousetreasure previously requested, the option to insert a log template so that you only have to modify it for the particular cache. For example, I like to include specific text as well as the Find # for the cache, so the ability to have this pre-filled when the Post Log screen comes up would be a huge time-saver. The Find # is something currently implemented in CacheMate that I'd love to see here as well to make it easy to keep track of find # as part of the log template.

Also, in the cache detail screen, I would think that Post Log is a frequent-enough task to merit its own button, so I'd like to see it either added or put in place of an existing button.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Please, just no "Find XXX TFTC", total waste of my time when people log my caches with that.

Otherwise, I agree, perhaps "Found it" for typical caches, "Owner Maintenance" for caches you own as defaults.

Additional feature requests/suggestions

Option to remember choice for Submit Log Now so you don't have to answer it every time

Display an icon for DNF'd caches in the Cache List, similar to the checkbox that's used to indicate a cache that you've found. Currently, nothing is displayed in that space between the cache type icon and the (GC#) except the checkbox for found caches and the disabled icon.

Bug? => Event caches do not show a checkbox (to mark found) when you post an Attended log, which they should.

After posting a log for a cache, could we have an option to automatically re-center the cache list around that cache? Even better, what about an option to automatically update the cache list based on your current GPS location?

Would like to have an option where Found/DNF'd caches are automatically moved to a separate cache list so they can be reviewed later, but removed from the 'unfound' cache list.

Cache list should include the Difficulty/Terrain rating for each cache, perhaps in the space between the (GC#) and the size display?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] del4:
No, I agree. I typically close my logs with the same text, which includes the Find #, but I always try to write a sentence or two, something specific about each cache. I've got nearly 100 caches out there myself, so I hate the one word logs too!

I need to know how to export waypoints.

Because, when I get GPX files from GC.com.

There are 2 files.

1) 2667862.gpx

2) 2667862-wpts.gpx

Already 1) is exported by GCz without Waypoint info.

Q1) File 1) contains waypoint info?

(I can not find XML tag of Waypoints in the 1) GPX file.)

(What is the XML format of Waypoint?)

or

Do I need to export 2) file too?

There are 5 icons between cache type icon and (GC#).

This relates other part of GCz program internally.

Satellite View

Tom,

Do you have any plan to add Google's satellite view to the static map view options? As I stated before it is much more comprehensive than just Google's street view and would resolve most complaints about poor coverage in forests and more rural areas.

Second question, any chance of natively supporting the accelerometer which is becoming much more common in newer devices?

Thanks for a great application.
