Great Job - Tom!!!

I'm hoping GC gets a grip and integrate your programm into their products for Geocachers!!! They should pay you a lot of money for it, because I'm pretty sure you brought a lot of people into Geocaching.

Your upgrade works just fine and I'm very happy to have the chance again, to do some Geocaching while I'm on the road.

Since you don't want a personal donation, I just donated some money to this forum and hope others will follow. Thanks again and please continue your fantastic work.

All the best from Hamburg/Germany

Many thanks, here from Portugal. Great api, a must have in geocaching.

p.s. for when a portuguese translation of this magnificent api, can i do it?

Greetings from Portugal:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ernie:
I also want to say thanks for the update!! :-)) Our caching day was much pleasant and made much more fun vice versa to the days where GCzII was not working due to changes on gcdotcom. I know what i was missing! :-)

If Gech needs some helping hands in coding, translation

or whatever, i would be glad to help!

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mashe:
don't understand .. what star?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Master Darko:
see my previous post, 1 above yours ... and 1 after? See how its says Master Darko followed by a circle (green or purple), followed by the yellow star....

That is the star you get for donating to the forum. :)

PS. Just for the record, GateCacher comes nowhere near GcZII in features and/or design.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fastcatcher:
The star will also be in your previous posts, once you made a donation.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Psyberdude:
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.

I just wish I'd known about it before caching yesterday, but for some reason I didn't recieved any post notifications from the site over the last few days :confused:. If I had, I could have saved myself a 40 min search for a cache that had been removed, if I'd been able to check for the latest logs and seen a new one saying it had been removed for maintenance. Just another reason I love GCzII and have been lost without it.

Thanks again Tom.

I have a problem. Is this a bug?

i am not able to download a picture wich is within the descripton of the cache. Doubleclick on the icon (Not Download) will not result in a download of the picture.

Doubleclick on the static maps works!

Any idea?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] docfred:
Now I have completely removed the old version and the old folders and cleaned the registry.

First. Glad to see where I can donate. Will do.

2) I downloaded the update but get the message:

"Local search has not implemented yet."

Am I missing something? I uninstalled the previous version. Soft reset. Installed newest to Storage Card.

Any advice would be great. GCZII has really increased my family's adventures.

I forgot my phone at home, so cant apply the updated yet, but can hardly wait.

Tom, are you free to talk about any discussions you may have had with Groundspeak? We would all love to hear (and to see if they are full of sh!t :D)!

PS making a site donation as I type!!

does anybody have the "cache not found" problem anymore? I have the new version, everything is ok .. but suddely the problem is back!! hm may be I am to silly

edit: only "search for nearby caches" is ok .. but this is all i want ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tptwo:
Thank you so much, Tom. I'm happy to be able to start caching on the fly again with V0.2.35.37.

I don't think it's part of your last changes, but i experienced a cache download problem on the road: It's a single cache, loading causes a "MAX_STR_LEN overflow. [268/256]". The cache is GC17HAF. When downloading nearby caches hit that one, it stopped working. Opening the cache by searching for cache code or deleting the Cache_DB/GC17HAF subdirectory did not work.

Additionally, when opening the Cache_DB folder i found two cache directories named "adopted by .........". I found the two caches that caused this behavoir. They also don't show the correct gc code on the cache list. Their codes are GC1D858 and GC1YQY8. This may be the same for other adopted caches.

Bug with "&" in cache-names with 0.2.35.37

Hi Tom,

I have still a BUG in Ver 0.2.35.37:

I search for caches around an address and get 300 Caches. I can click "download all" and some of the caches stay grey/not downloaded. When i click on a new cache or try reload an old/grey one I get the "cache not found"-error.

This are some of that error-caches: gc10yw5, gc10yw8, gca864

Now I see: ALL OF THEM have a & in the Cache- or Owner Name. I think thats the Problem.

Best Greetings,

Phil

Now, I also made a donation in honor of Tom Hiro's application GCzII. Today I was out and did a little spontaneous cacheing in my home country Sweden. ;)

Thanks again, Tom!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] McBeth:
Tom thanx for the update.

I also made a donation in honor of Tom Hiro's application GCzII. Love the program, tried to cache without it... Ok it is possible but with the software its easier.

1 small issue and one request.

small issue:

In "cache list / overview / cache" i have the message "cache overview does not exist" when i reload them.

Request:

"Local search has not implemented yet." ;-) would be nice... I live close to the border and going online in another country = 6 Euro/MB

Northwest cacher with a new WM phone!

Thanks for your hard work, Tom! I've been watching this thread daily since the issue came about. I think you've really changed geocaching for the better. My Garmin Oregon has been collecting dust ever since I installed GCZII. I was happy to make my donation. I think gc.com would be silly not to consider you a trusted source :)

Haven't used it 'in anger' yet, but am enjoying getting used to how it works, and will venture into the world of geocaching very soon!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Azurewrath:
When i try to use the "Google Map" Button from within a cache, i get "File not found. [\Program Files\GoogleMaps\GoogleMaps.exe]"

The reason is clear: I'm running a German ROM on my HTC Touch HD and thus the "Program Files" Folder is named "Programme". Could you change this hardcoded Path to a variable one or give the option to change it manually?

Thank you very much, i love your Application! :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sestka:
That option is in there. Search in Options/ Google maps settings :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Carlprem:
Tried that. It makes no difference. I did have ALL the other boxes ticked though. :o When I deactivated them my caches showed up. Thanks.

Hallo Tom

Thanks for your great programm from all members of our caching team here in Hamburg/Germany. As you dont want any money for your work, we donated to the board.

Kind regards
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dlf2001:
I use gsak to maintain a database of caches and log my finds. The macros make it very easy allowing me to spellcheck before I post the log, maintain a found database, etc. The field notes file from GCzII is not readable by gsak. I posted a sample file on the gsak forum and it appears that the file has to be a UTF16 Unicode file for gsak to read it. The field notes file that GCzII creates is a straight 8-bit ASCII file. Any way for this nice program to export a UTF16 file?

I would like to know also if there is a way to see a count of your daily finds & dnf's as you progress through a cache run? Something like overview in offline mode maybe? I know cacheberry has a open treasure chest symbol with a number beside it on the bottom border. Just wondered?

Thanks for your hard work Tom!!!!!!!!!!! Your program is great.

GCzII - navigation to inserted coordinates

Hi,

is there any feature in GCzII which allows me to simply insert coordinates of solved mystery and navigate me there (smartphone version)?

Thx,

Kecupek
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bigzdog:
From Main Screen

Menu->GPS->GPS Monitor

Which is this screen.

Then Menu->Set Target Location.

Type in coordinates
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kecupek:
Thank you Bigzdog ... it was the only menu item which I've ignored :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
What I personally do is create a new Waypoint, then from the Waypoint you can navigate. There are multiple ways to do it. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] derlbear:
Thank you Tom for the update! I was about to go geocaching without your software because it didn't work, but the timing of the update was perfect!

What means GPS Accuracy in GPS settings?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Phil82de:
NO bug?

I deleted all old caches and downloaded again. than i saw: all that caches which are making problems are now converted to premium-only-caches. So probably everything is ok with gczII.

Sorry for the confusion, thanks for your work again and best regards! Phil
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Beate Berliner:
...I'm interested too...

Thanks

Beate
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pingu-net:
This means the "Precision" of the received Coordinates against the real location. Example: If you set the accuracy to 1 then on the Display it will show you a precision of 2 or 3 meters (signal quality) what is normally a little bit to optimistic. Default setting is 3. with this accuracy will you display a quality of 4 - 6 meters precision what it seems to me more realistic.

Hallo Tom,

Vielen Dank für dein wunderbares Programm, ich liebe es.

Das Problem besteht noch immer, nur schliesst sich nun das Programm ohne Fehlermeldung.

GC17HAF läßt sich nicht herunter laden.

Der Fehler kommt scheinbar nur bei diesem Geocache vor, von daher kann ich damit leben.

Danke Tom

Hi Tom,

Thank you for your wonderful program, I love it.

The error appears to come only when this geocache, so I can live with.

Thanks Tom

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] karlyboy:
Hi guys, i wonder if anyone can help me out here. Just have installed the latest update of Tom's GCzII (.39) hoping it will fix my problem, but no luck. The program asking me to "agree to the Waypoint Licence Agreement" before i can use it. After clicking the "yes" and being transferred to my browser to the geocaching.com site, i cannot "physically" check and submit the agreement, because i cannot find it....

I've seen the support site for GCzII with some pictures of "what's next" as the program progresses, and there is a screenshot of the waypoint licence agreement site, which i'm suppose to be redirected to, with the check and submit button clearly visible. In the real case, the page doesn't look the same as on the screen shot... there is no submit button, just ask me to log on with my name & password... even then, i cannot see the agreement.

What am i doing wrong here, is there a way around this? ...i just started geocaching few weeks ago with my friend's GPS now it seems like i can use my HTC... Please help...

PS...i'm just hoping it isn't something straight forward, which is going to make me look really stupid..:(

Mobile device i'm using:

HTC TouchPro2

Thank you very much guys,

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ghofer:
Nvm. Haha switched the keywords to a different cache and it worked fine.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Psyberdude:
Noticed two things today while out caching (with the latest v .39)

The first, was that while looking at a cache that had just been published while I was out, I suddenly realised that there were no attributes shown in the decription. Now unless I'm loosing my marbles, the version prior to the GC website meltdown, did show the attributes on the description page.

Second, I had a peculiar thing happen while logging a TB. I recieved a message that the log failed. But when I got home I saw that in fact the log had gone through and was showing on both my profile and the TB page. So this must simply be an error in the way GCz interprets the responce.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tptwo:
A short, but huge THANK YOU. Works very well now.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paul Loft:
Hi Tom. I am getting this too. Placing a TB in a cache using the inventory button when logging a find works fine.

But if you go to a TB page and fill out either a 'retrieve' or 'discover' log, the program reports an error and says the log failed. You have to click OK to clear the error message then cancel out of the log.

BUT, the logs go through to the website just fine and the retrieval or discovery is being logged correctly.

So the program is working fine, but the error message is wrong.

This has only started since the changes made following the website update.

I have another new problem too (sorry). When trying to delete saved co-ordinates from the history (Menu>Options>Manage History>4. Coordinates) the list seems to just keep growing as you delete an entry, adding further entries to the bottom of the list which are copies of existing entries.

I now have 15 entries in the list, all the same, and none of which can be deleted.

I would like to add my thanks to those of others for the great work you have done with this software which is the best application I have found for my TYTNII.

Hope you are able to get these remaining little bugs ironed out for us.

GCzII Documentation

Hi Tom,

a great program (I use it with the german Skin). I already located my first caches using it.

It looks to me like something that was made to really suit the needs of an experienced GeoCacher.

The Problem I have is, that I'm new to the business, and I would need a description of the large number of features of that program. Is there any description of the capabilities of the program above the screenshots on the GCzII download site ?

There is quite a number of topics in the menus of which I do not know what they are meant for - because I'm just missing some background or because I have no usage scenario. What I would like to have is a kind of Document like "Geocaching with GCzII for Dummies ;-)

Thanks for the great program

Lutz
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Psyberdude:
Hi, and welcome to the world of Geocaching.

There is no manual for GCzII but most of it is fairly intuitive once you have played around with it a little bit. If you have a specific question about a function or how something works, please feel free to post it here. There are lots of people here willing to help.

All caches on a map

First I would like to thank you for this great programm and for updating once again! That is just one of the best programms for WM I know at the moment!

But now I have a wish do make it much better.

When I have search caches (maybe nearby) I would like to see all the caches at google maps. At the moment it's only possible to show one of it, or is it possible and I don't know how?!

That woult be a gread thing for me! Hope you can make that for us?!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pingu-net:
Hi TOPgun77, Make shure that you have already installed the latest Version of Googlemaps on your PDA. Then, if you have your list of caches, select Menu - Google Maps. It should show you then all Caches with their individual icons.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
You're looking at Google Maps from the Cache Details page.. Launch Google Maps from the list of caches (one screen up), it'll show all of them in the list.

multi user support

have you ever thought of gcz having multi user support?:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Psyberdude:
Seems, I'm not loosing my marbles. I have a load of data on my phone from previous searches and when I did a search today, I noticed a lot of the caches all had the grey folder icon (old data). Not being too concerned with this I was reading through the descriptions and noticed that they DID have the attributes at the bottom, whereas the new ones don't. When reloaded one of these caches I noticed that afterwards the attributes disappeared. So it seems something in the new version has changed and is not loading the attributes.

Tom, could you please look at this when you have a chance. Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jake Bullit:
Think that might have been a problem with GC.com as they wern`t showing on the main site the other day.They are back now so try reloading.

Static Navigation

Here is what i dont get about static navigation. When you are stationary, or moving slowly, the coordinates returned from the GPSr chipset will have slight changes (up to 0.002 degree minutes), even though the GPSr won't give any real movements. Weered....

PS The site admins fixed my star. Yhaaa!... Oh, and if anyone is paying attention, my internal GPS is working fine now. It seems to have bad days every 3 months or so. Last time I was in the back country climbing Green Mountain. Luckly I had my bluetooth GPS then too.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Psyberdude:
Nope, I tested it today and it definitely does not show the attributes when new data is downloaded, but old data does.

It does'nt matter what settings you are have set, gc.com has a limit of 500 caches per pocket query. So i mean there is also a limitaton of how many caches can retrieved by GC
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dlf2001:
I load the caches onto my gps and my phone from gsak. You can load many more than 500 at a time. I just thought I would adjust that setting if I could find it.
