It`s a bit different. The cache-list is shown correctly with all the Informations i got in the earlier version (50) too. That`s the direction-arrors, the distances, cache-names, owners, symbols for tradi or multi, GC-Codes, the yellow folders with the green dots, sizes of the caches and D and T-Infos.

If I touch one entry from the list shortly the next page opens as it did before I changed the version. The above informations appear and a few infomations in addition, like Koords, Last found-date, Hidden-date and the Location-info.

What I´m missing are the cache-descriptions, the logs, the hints, the spoilers.....

They where shown in Version 50 and now they aren`t.

When I hit an entry in the cach-list for a longer time the "second-List" will appear. This list contains the entries "Sort by Distance from this cache", "Find nearby this cache", "Add to favorites", "Remove from List", "Post Log/Field Notes >" and "Move to".
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] stine1991:
An additional information for Someone who wrote, he could create the cach-list but couldnt`t get the next page with the Cache-Informations when he touched an entrie in the list.

That happend with my MDA when I loaded the cab-file v 50 from the NICQUE-Website and took the STD zip-file from the xda-developer-post No.4426. After overwriting the exe-file I could download and save the cache-list. I could then download "All Caches" and the list was fine. By touching an entrie in the list - nothing happend.

But - that is not my problem I wrote in above post.

Thanks

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] stine1991:
Sorry Tom - no change.

What I did is:

Download GCzII......52+.zip on PC

Unzip to get the ..exe-file

Overwrite the .exe in File GCzII on Mobile-Phone (all GCzII issues are on storage-card)

Delete Cache_DB and Cache_List

Restart GCzII

When program is started:

Put in City-code and city-name on main-menu

choose all geocaches

tick on gray button "go"

20 caches are downloaded after a while

Tick on "Save cache List as" and take the same name.

Tick on "Download All caches"

The field "Name already exis`ts overwrite" = yes

Result: 20 Caches/14,5 MB, 220 images, 6 smileys, 12 attributes

When I now tick on one cache in the list, the head infos appear, but still

no informations like cache-discription, hints, spoilers..... same as before.

What I also see is, that only the caches are downloaded, which are not found yet,

even there is no hook in the field "Exclude your owned or found items from result"

in the search-settings-menu.

It might help to post a screen shot of what you're seeing so that we can see it.

That's what I thought you were getting all the time. Seems like this part is working normally.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SecretAgentMan:
I'm not sure that there is always map detail at 200%. It's just like if you put Google maps in the satellite view and zoom in too far.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SecretAgentMan:
Good suggestion!

@ Primex and Pere - Try Stine's suggestion and double-check so make sure you loaded the touchscreen .52 exe and not the "std" .exe that is for non-touchscreen phones.

Sorry S.A.M. - I don´t know, how to realize a screenshot from the mobile.

Attached is a foto - hope it shows my Mobile-screen too.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SecretAgentMan:
Thanks. Makes perfect sense now. I see that you are missing the portion of the page that contains the buttons that link to the Description, Cache Logs, etc.

Hopefully this will make a bit more sense to Tom.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Gech:
Ahhhh!!!

I misunderstood what is your problem.

but now I got it clearlly.

hmmmm....

Normally, if the buttons (Desc/Hint/etc) is not visible on the screen,

It might be the problem of Language pack (SKIN) or Graphic files (JPG).

The case is... once installed Language Pack (German?)

and removed the skin without clear the registory settings.

So, GCz checks the registory key below.

\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\NICQUE\GCzII\REG_SKIN_LOCALE

What is the value of REG_SKIN_LOCALE?

Also, you might use 2 folders to put GCzII.exe separatery for v50 and v52.

GCzII.exe needs to load graphics files (under Skin folder) to show buttons.

So, I guess it is the problem of Skin settings or missing graphics files.

thanks

tom
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Gech:
It's bit difficult to explain.

So, GCzII.exe loads graphic files from under "Skin" folder.

(GCzII Installed folder structure)

+--GCzII.exe

+--Skin--+--Common

+--Skin--+--Eng

if "Skin\Eng" folder is not exist at same place of GCzII.exe

Buttons are not visible. But other icons under Common folder are OK.

What is the registory value of GCzII?

If it shows "Eng", might be missing "Eng" folder.

or not "Eng" need to be the Language pack.

thanks

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] stine1991:
I`ve got it. (You`ve got it!!!) ;-))) Big smile.

It´s been the first time in my life, I´ve been in a registory (What are you doing with me old man). Previously I`d to install a software to come in - (that`s difficult enough for me). Then I checked the listing and found the Skin-Entry was "De" for German. I changed it to "Eng" and everything seems

working correctly now as it did before I updated to V52.

I´m very thankfully to S.A.M. and espacially to TOM

If you look at the attachement, you`ll find out, I handled a screenshot too, :-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SecretAgentMan:
Have you read the last 5 pages or so and tried the fixes listed on those pages?

Care to share some details like what version you're using what you've done to try to fix the problem???
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mhuska:
Tom -

First of all, thank you for keeping us going as I rely on this app for GCing!!!

v52 works great for me but I did get the following error when attempting to try to post a "Needs Maitnenance" log entry:

"[VIEWSTATE] not found."

Tried this on two different caches with the same result and verified once I got back home that no log entry was posted so it's just another small glitch.

My apologies if someone already posted this error but I looked before writing and didn't find.

Thanks!

Yesterday the first Multi Geocache (within my GC mail notification range) using the Garmin GPS Beacon for the first stage was posted not to far from where I live.

Since I'm only using my HTC Touch HD and Toms fine software GCzII for my Geocaching I'm wondering if there's any possibility for me to find such a cache.

The idea is obviously to be able to download the coordinates to the next stage once being within range of the beacons WiFi range (approx 10m).

Does anyone know? Or maybe Tom has an idea?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] iminhull:
HTTP buffer is empty

I hate asking for help on forums, but I'm totally stumped. I was having the login issue, so I've installed v52. Now I'm getting the "HTTP buffer is empty" issue and I can't find any help on it. I have searched this forum, but found nothing.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Pere:
Found the problem! I'm sorry it's my fault: I downloaded the GCzII_20101115_0235_52.zip for STD (standard model) instead that the other one!!! Fixed downloading the other file. Primex, I'm sure that you made the same mistake :o
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] docfred:
I'm not Tom,

But at the moment there is no possibility to receive the signal of a Garmin CHIRP.

This is neither a bluetooth nor a wifi signal . It's a standard (ANT+) used in fitness watches to receive heartbeat, step frequency and so one. It's the same problem, that it is impossibe to tranfer a gpx-file from a Windows smartphone to a garmin oregon for example. Perhaps there are usb-sticks that can receive this standard, but such stick will not fit to a smartphone. I've heared there is an adapter for the iphone. This adapter is normally used to receive fitness data as descibed above.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SecretAgentMan:
When are you getting the error? Logging in, searching, trying to display a cache page, etc?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Pere:
Decimal format?

As also happens on the geocaching.com website,I'm afraid that this program only uses the Degrees Minutes format for coordinates. I rather prefer the decimal degree format ( Positive decimal degree numbers (absent negative sign) are either North or East. Negative decimal degree numbers are either South or West.)

Most of the GPS programs (all the Navigators, even the modest BasicGPS for Geocaching) can use both formats as option, but I can't find this feature on this one.

I'd like to be able to read my cache coordinates in the decimal format . Is there any way to do it?

Thank you in advance.

Hilfe .... .exe installieren? Es kommt die Meldung : File open Failed... skinn COMMON 800x480.txt
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SecretAgentMan:
Probably to some extent. You should still be able to look up caches that don't require the program to know your location. You should also be able to load .gpx files and view cache info that way.

If you're asking if the program will use the approximate location provided by towers, the answer is no.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] iminhull:
When searching, the program recognises the postcode as it shows the location. After I click on the location, the program sits there, with that beachball spinning for quite some time (5-10 mins so far, still waiting). Still waiting for the error on this go. I am using wifi, so it shouldn't take this long. I will report back with an error, if one comes up.

I got the buffer error, when trying to see a cache from a previously saved list too.

Still waiting...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SecretAgentMan:
Sometimes "old" lists create issues when upgrading to a new version of GCzII. Try deleting everything in your Cache_DB folder (you're cached data). You'll have to download and save your lists again. See my post above for a caution about what you might lose when deleting Cache_DB. There are other things that might need to be deleted, but let's start with this.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] iminhull:
Just tried it using 3G and it worked perfectly. Solved for now, but it would be nice to know why it won't work over wifi. I had read the rules for posting, so I had already deleted the cache_DB, but not the lists. Thanks for your help so far. I would like to use wifi too though, as the amount of 3G data I can use is limited.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Gech:
Hi

"HTTP buffer is empty" means

GCz did not recieve any response from server. (0 byte recieved via HTTP protocol)

The main cause of the issue is Internet connection.

How about Wi-Fi settings? use Proxy or Gateway?

Require UserID and Password?

need more info your network.

cache not found!

Hi there,

I keep getting the 'cache not found' error lately. How do I fix this? I love this software btw!! Thank you for creating it =)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Titus_Andronicus:
What version of GCzII do you have? The version number can be found in the bottom left corner of the first screen.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Titus_Andronicus:
Tom: While you seem to have a bit of time to work on GCzII, I was wondering if you noticed my bug report from a couple of months back.

My static maps seem to be scaled wrong. The cache appears in the correct location, and when I am at the cache, my location is also in the correct location. The issue is when I am not at the center of the map. The farther I am from the center of the map, the more and more 'off' my location is shown. It would appear that somehow the static maps are not 1:1 scaleing, but 1:1.2 or something that is not quite right.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SecretAgentMan:
Did you read the post on the prior page that specifically addresses the cause of "Cache Not Found" errors?

The post is easy to find, as it has "Cache Not Found" in a bolded, larger font.

It's always a good idea to read back five pages or so to make sure you're not asking a question that has already been answered!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] alexandrea73:
Thank you for posting back. Yes, I put .52 over .50 and I still get cache not found hit and miss which is weird.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SecretAgentMan:
Can you post the exact steps you are taking that results in the error? i.e. Are you generating a list and trying to open a cache, opening a list from a .gpx, etc?

Did you try the fixes in the Cache Not Found post, such as clearing \Cache_DB, etc?

Exactly which cache(s) produce the error? (although I understand the issue is intermittent.)

How are you connecting to the Internet, data connection or WiFi?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SecretAgentMan:
Are you a Geocaching.com Premium Member? You'll need to be a PM for that to work properly. If you are a basic member, retrieving a LIST of caches does not retrieve coordinates (because of Groundspeak programming), which causes the error.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Samaka:
until now it`s a basic account

so this will be a reason to become a Premium Member if there is no other way with GczII.

Ver 0.2.35.53 Available

Hi all

Ver 0.2.35.53 is here now!!

This version is for GC.com Basic members.

Before, try to use GoogleMap or Sort By "Distance from" features did not work if your account is Basic member.

And now, it works even if Basic member.

The method.

1) Search caches at top window then go Cache List Window.

2) Select menu "Download All Caches".

That's all!!

So, if the cache list does not contain location info (Lat/Lon).

GCz tries to load location info from Cache Detail.

That's why need to download all caches before open GoogleMap or Sort.

thanks

tom

PS) Don't forget "Save Cache List" when it's done!!

Achived caches

Hallo Tom,

I've performed a search "by username hidden". The list of results contain archived caches also. Unfortunately there is no sign that marks the cache as "archived". On the GC website the name is dashed out. Perhaps you can use the symbol for "cache archived" to mark it.

Major maintenance !!

This notice is on the Groundspeak Forums today.

As Groundspeak and Geocaching.com have grown, the demands on our production network infrastructure have increased significantly. As a result, on Tuesday December 14, 2010 at 8:00 PM PST (GMT -8), we will be performing a number of major upgrades to our production network. These upgrades include a new network design as well as new hardware to help increase the performance, scalability, and security of the network.

We're estimating that the downtime may take up to 6 hours, and during that time, all Groundspeak sites and services including Geocaching.com, the Groundspeak Forums, Pocket Queries, Geocaching Mobile Applications, and other 3rd party applications that access our API will be inaccessible.

While we're giving ourselves a 6 hour window to cover anything unexpected that might come up, we'll be doing everything possible to minimize the downtime and are confident that we'll have the site back up much sooner.

Thanks,

Elias
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Phil82de:
API is comming!!!!

"API for 3rd party applications

Planned → Started

Groundspeak is currently in the process of developing an API for 3rd party applications. Our current plan is to make the API available to a limited group of trusted third parties starting in late January 2011. Once the API has been properly tested, we intend to expand the list of 3rd party developers throughout 2011 and beyond."

WM7 may very well change the landscape. My understanding (someone correct me if I'm wrong) is that WM7 apps MUST be loaded from the App Store. This might prove to be an obstacle to some developers.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Titus_Andronicus:
Hopefully Tom will have some time to make good use of the API once it is opened up for him!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] AngusCS:
Keep up the pressure

This is not just an obstacle to developers but to me as a user. I love the fact that I can find an app online for my WinMo phone and install it just like that. I can drag apps from anywhere and generally they will work. I can even decide I want to pay for some apps but generally there will be a free app that is equally as good if not better (just look at GCZII).

There is no way I was going to be locked into iTunes by Apple and I cannot understand why Microsoft would want me to be locked into the MarketPlace. Android doesn't fully tie you in, but they want you to use the App Store.

No way Hosé. I have just bought another two HD2's just to make sure I have a handset still working for the next couple of years with an OS that works and lets me do what I want. Hopefully coders like Tom will keep the updates coming for brilliant apps like this...

There has been talk that MS will bring out a version of WinMo 7 for "Professional" users and that will still be open and based on WinMo 6.5.x (I hope so).

Probablly, the big wave has come at GC.com.

The new changes might be huge impact for GCz.

(Don't know what happen after the maintenounce.)

The first release date of GCz is Dec/17/2008.

So, it was 2 years ago. Time is faster!!

I always tried to fix problems as soon as possible.

And I've got lots of feedback to improve GCz from members here.

I really appriciate all of you!!

Now, I have not decided yet what will continue or dis-continue to work for GCz.

It depends on the side effect of the maintanouce.

I hope, it will not be catastrophic destruction.

I must say that of all the Android and WM geocaching apps, GCzII is by far the best! I would encourage you to try to keep it alive at least until GS gives you access the the API. Once that is setup, you should not need to do fixes very often at all.

PS, just checking out GC.com. I don't see any changes. The warning seemd to be more focused on their hardware, than the website.

Version "S" works great for me. It would be nice, if distance and bearing would be shown on each search-result-list, not only for "nearby geocaches" list.

This app becomes more and more perfect. It's great to be a beta-tester in this case.
