If you check the 09_CacheDetails.html file in your logs you can see that although its says your logged in the co-ordinates say ?????? / ??????.

1) go to geocaching on your desktop PC and double check that you have agreed to the waypoints agreements and that if you log in you can see the cache details correctly, including the co-ordinates.

2) launch IE on your phone/pda and clear all the cookies.

3) try GCzII again.

Yes I was suprised it worked myself :eek:

I can only think that its because I've upgraded it to Win6.1 and that it has better memory management ?

Anybody has similar issue "cache not found" when searching own caches found ?

If searching for others e.g. tomhiro255 it does the job !?

Strange thing, all other search functions running fine.

Dear Tom,

Regarding the new version GczII, because the top screens had been changed from 8 to 9 already. For my Treo Pro the top screen looks a little strange again. Would you please make a new SEARCH_HEADER_320_CUSTOM.png file for Treo Pro again?

Thank you in advance.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
WOOT! Normally right now, GCzII would not launch. PPC has been up for several days, and I've ran random various things. But it fired right up!!

I did run a few more programs and when I started it up again it froze on me, but let me see how this does as it is right now, unless there's more tweaks to be made. I did a soft reset, ran a bunch of stuff, and GCzII fired right up. So seems like it's more tolerant now, hope it's the same for kukuwaja!

Hi Jingle_tt

Please use this for 320x320.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] paulpille:
Yes, I see, OpenStreetMap seems not to have detailed maps of Japan :-(

Nevertheless, I think its not necessarily needed to download maps from an official web service with defined API ...

The easier way could be to cut out suitable map extracts of e.g. OpenStreetMap or another local map provider with a tool like screenhunter (screen capture tool) and then to import this to GCz.

Following functionality would be needed to integrate such map extracts:

- additional GPS-Monitor mode: MapView

- enable calibration of each map on at least 3 GPS points

- search & load suitable map in map folder when switching to GPS-Monitor mode MapView

- adjust GPS-Monitor MapView depending on own position and cache location (so that both are visible)

The main reason of my interest in such a function is that GOOGLEMAPS has very POOR FOREST TRACK view !

Find attached some samples how this could look like:

1. GoogleMap View of a forest area (sparse forest tracks shown)

2. OpenStreetMap of the same area (almost every track included)

3. (rough & uncomplete) GCz GPS-Monitor MapView

It would be great to have such functionality in a future GCz release :)

Done 1 field run finding 4 geocaches with GCzII 0.2.33.14 today

Ran well, no drama. I think the following might be essential.

- List Table sort function by name/waypoint/distance.

- GPX Import from GSAK not working

- option to download cache without any images

- option to skip Images if already downloaded

- re-downloaded cache(and logs) automatically link to images(spoiler) that are previously downloaded

So far it is good. Will keep trying and do keep up the good work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pipaman:
Great application! I'll try it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] erikcornelisse:
Great program, especially for "on the fly" geocaching.

Question:

Would it be possible to search for "new" geocaches in the area. When a new cache is published, it will have a "new" icon attached. It is also shown in the GCzII list after a search. It would be great to just be able to search for those new caches especially for the FTF hunters.

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jack_Brody:
GCzII uses Advanced search for searching, so unfortunately this is not possible.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] paulpille:
Tom,

in order not to be forced to open each note of each cache to check if some hints are inside, I propose to mark an existing cache note e.g. by using fat border line or by a colored button.

Although the border is doubled after saving a note, when exiting the single cache view and displaying it again this marking is lost.

I think it already supported since ver 15 and today ver 16.

After finding my first cache yesterday I'm very happy with this application. Is it possible to donate you some bucks?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kinglee:
Nice work Tom.

Now using .16 version. It looking good.

It won't import GSAK exported GPX file but I'm ok with that.

A behavior I noticed:

Cache description displays first spoiler pic and leaves the rest as "No DOWNLOADED" even though it had been downloaded.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] freekquency:
Wow it keeps getting better and better!

But now im laid off and no data :(

How bout an online/offline mode? pretty please.

Have placed 18 caches now using GCZ

Have found around 90 with it. But now having to use ****ty cachemate cuz no data........... HELP.

:)

BareFeaT on geocaching.com drop me aline xda types.

Also i think they are still deleting any thread mentioning this software.

(but they stopped banning me)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] marcuswar:
Excellent Tom, just installed and tested fine :D

Tom,

I think what Paulpille is requesting is some indication as to wether notes currently exist i.e have been previously entered for the cache or not. ? If you can't remember if you entered some notes against a cache previously, you end up clicking the button and creating a new note screen and then having to select menu->cancel->confirm to get back to the main cache screen. I agree that some form of indication would be nice :)

At the moment the waypoints button is disabled (grey) if no waypoints are defined and you have to use the menu option "Waypoint" to get into the waypoint screen to add the first one. Maybe we should be using the same methodology for the Notes button, i.e. initial grey and disabled and have to use a menu option to create it ?

paulpille ,

Thats just because the button is selected it doesn't imply that notes exist. If you use the DPad/cursor keys (or just click on another button) then the double border will move to another button.

Marcus
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] paulpille:
Sorry for explaining too complicate :(

In simple words: could you show the Note button in grey when no info is inside (as being done with Hint or Waypoint button if no info is available) ?

The reason for proposing that is the following:

next weekend my family and me have planned a caching bike tour ranging over 40 km. In preparation to that I generated 6 cache lists to cover all hides we would like to search.

Some of the caches are very complex to find (difficulty 2-4). So I made some notes for them.

When being on the tour I would like to identify quickly if some notes are available. This could be provided by a white/grey Note button.

Hope this is more understandable now :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Gech:
Ah ;D

The picture helps my understanding!

So, if Note has not existed yet, the "Note" button grayed out.

To create Note, open and select menu "Create Note" like.

Once Note created, need "Delete Note" menu too.

thanks

tom
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] paulpille:
I'd like to rollback and hope this topic is interesting for other geocachers too.

I've made some real bad experiences with GoogleMaps in forest areas.

This is mainly due to the fact that GoogleMaps has very POOR FOREST TRACK view ! See sample map below.

Therefore a GCz inbuilt map view functionality like shown below would be a big help ! (Sample map below showing the exact same area taken from OpenStreeMap).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Daemonicus73:
Great idea on the greyed out buttons Paulpille. Would it be easier though to have the note button greyed out if no note exists but still allow you to click the button to create a new note rather than a menu option. This could also be applied to the waypoints button (greyed out if no waypoints exist but when you click it it takes you to the waypoints page so you can add them).

Just an idea, what do you think??

Dave.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jack_Brody:
Yesterday I went caching, actually found only one cache, but was searching for it one hour :) since it was hidden in a wood. GCzII took me to the right spot, all the pain was because of my blindness. :) So when I was logging this story I had to use many smileys ;).

Tom, would it be possible to access it with only one finger-friendly tap from the post log screen? Maybe an additional button right next to the existing "Inventory" button could launch it.

And thumbs up, guys, for the idea of greyed-out "Notes" button!

Dave: that's a good one!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] paulpille:
Yes, that would be the cherry on top :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tomik1:

Odd, I'm using .16 also, and have no problems importing GSAK GPXs. When you export from GSAK, which version GPX are you exporting as? Mine is set to export v1.0 and works just fine with GCzII.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] realhuette:
When you previously downloaded caches, you had an idea where you will go caching, didn't you? So you can save your search, reopen it offline and so you have a perfect offline-mode. That's what I do. Or do I understand wrong?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
And I would add that one could cache all of the data via Wifi (or even Bluetooth) networking then go out in the field.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] paulpille:
Now I found the check boxes for downloading images.

They are all shown after calling the "download all caches" / "reload cache" menu with all boxes checked (set to no download) when being displayed.

Tom, could it make sense to put these 'pics download' check boxes to the Main Page 'Menu/Option/Download Settings' section ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Titus_Andronicus:
This file was writen by a local cacher with all of our local benchmark type thingys. It works on other software (Garmin etc, BasicGPS), but not in GCzII (or GateCacher).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tomik1:
Yes, I have saved my searched results, but the idea is to download lot of caches in my neighbourhood (10 km) and when I have time I could offline search for the nearest cache from my current position.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
I'm sure it *could* be converted, and if you want I can look at the file itself and see what I can do to help you out. I'm a benchmarker too, not a heavy one, but I enjoy it.

I did attempt a very quick conversion with GPSBabel with it and it still didn't load, 0/380 (ish) caches, no results etc.. Probably GCzII is looking for very specific order of tags, etc.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jake Bullit:
Hi Tom,brilliant program,I guess you`ve got lots of requests ,but could you make the cache name text darker on the GPS monitor page,and on the main page, could the 5 way come down to the big left right navigate arrows to enable navigaton through the pages without touchscreen.

Thanks again for the great program.:)

Asus p550 WM6 ,0.2.33.16 using internal GPS WITH GPSGATE.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] realhuette:
ok, I see, the *very* comfortable way :)

btw, is there a way to use google maps offline? download all needed maps (in the google maps cache?) and use them offline?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Titus_Andronicus:
That may be the problem. I opend the GPX file in notpad, and turns out it was generated with GSAK.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jack_Brody:
I guess Tom will do this one day, but most likely in some major version, maybe GCzIII :). These offline functionalities (searching, sorting) would be pretty complex to code without using database.

Todays core of GCzII is based on querying the gc.com search engine (Advanced search) and enables user to save cache listings, images and cache lists. Basically it's online application.

The position of the left of Inventory, it seems ok for Post Log but not ok for Trackable Post Log.

Need to adjust the position.

paulpille

>> could it make sense to put these 'pics download' check boxes

>> to the Main Page 'Menu/Option/Download Settings' section ?

First, I thought so, but not.

Because there are 3 ways to download images. currently,

1) "Download All caches" in the Cache List menu. => Skip / Not Skip selectable

2) Click cache column on the Cache List. => Skip

3) "Reload cache" in the Cache detail menu. => Skip / Not Skip selectable

So, if the option checked off All. (Download all images.)

2) will take too much time to download all images unexpectedly.

maybe need to consider this.

But my main idea is that reduce unnecessary downloading.

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

Titus_Andronicus

You can't not think, other applications works for the GPX but not work GCz.

Because I have no idea other GPX format. (That is the reason not work.)

(I only have WM devices and use GC.com GPX. no Germin etc...)

That's why I'm asking all of you to help GCz makes better. ;D

So, thank you for the GPX file. I will check it.

Tomik1

As I before posted, you don't need to worry about the feature.

It will be implemented in the future as "Local Search or Offline Search".

Titus_Andronicus

I checked the GPX file which you attached.

The GPX file does not contain necessary info below like.

1) Gache Code (GCxxxxx)

or

2) GUID (f4195c86-3b9e-4432-9c5f-29ada704bed5)

GCz can load GPX file without above necessary info.

But can not get Cache detail info from GC.com without GC code or GUID.

I have a question.

Other applications can show Cache Detail info?

or

Just show the GPX info only? (Cache Name/Owner/Type/Latitude/Longitude....)

thanks

tom
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kinglee:
An example of this is when viewing the cache description of http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=aadc58d0-717a-4b97-9fe7-6f06393a76fa on GCzII _16 version. Doing a "Download All Caches" said 3 images downloaded but only 2 were found in the /images folder. Hence some images were loaded but some won't ("NO DOWNLOADED"). Not sure if anyone else is getting this behavior.

In addition, it would be good if images can be zoomed in/out (inline or via executing external image viewer). Some images need to zoom in to see clearly.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Hmmmm, I see where the problem is coming here. His data is probably NOT on GC, I didn't look at it closely, but I suspect it's a list of benchmarks/waymarks which are not on Geocaching.com at all. In that regard, can GCzII show the built-in description in the file and the waypoints?

Problem comes back to the GPX being fairly loosely interpreted in some programs, therefore the variations in the XML could vary depending upon the source.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jingle_tt:

Ok, I got your concerns.

What about the following ideas:

- put the menu item "Download settings" to the cache list menu too

- allow to abort the downloading of pics in case of tapping download option without checking the boxes before

Another option could be to have dedicated check boxes for home and for field access. This only makes sense if its possible to distinguish between broadband home access and narrowband field access, are you able to detect this ?

Hi Tom

Thanks for the update! New changes work well! Like the grayed out note button and smileys!

:confused:I have a small request:

"Google maps" added to menu on waypoint detail page.

i.e.: create a new waypoint (eg the final of a muticache) > list of all waypoints for multi, including newly created waypoint > click on new waypoint to see detail (or edit note area), then want to check position of waypoint on GM. Instead of going back to waypoint list, then menu > GM, can you add GM to menu of waypoint detail. This will also just show newly created waypoint in GM, not whole list of waypoints of multi.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Titus_Andronicus:
Other software has a link to the cache page (there is one page for all these WP which we all log repeatedly, once for each Brass Cap we find), but only has cache info found in the GPX file.

Realy, all I need is to have the coordinates load in so I can sort by distance etc and hunt these bad boys down.

I just tried ver 0.2.33.17, and same thing, it imports them, but then reports 0/398 cache(s) [689KB]. Then I click OK, then get 0 Chache(s) Page [1/0] (hey, a divide by zero).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Kasush:
Please be careful here. Some of us have unlimited HSDPA connections to our devices and never use Wi-Fi. My concern is that you desire a significantly different experience when on a non-Wi-Fi connection and that would be a problem for those of us who fall in the category I am in.

I have also seen people mention that they frequently have areas with no or limited connections, again, that is not the case here. The entire country is covered with high speed HSDPA coverage. Occasionally we run into a spot that drops down to EDGE, but that is not very common.

Moral of all this is please don't forget where this project started. A wonderful, online, instant access geocache program.

Tom, you have done an excellent job and have my thanks for what you have built.

On a grammatical note, "NO DOWNLOADED" should read "Not Downloaded" to sound proper.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] arghness:
I noticed an issue with the waypoints menu.

I'm in the UK where we generally use N xx xx.xxx / W xx xx.xxx notation.

When I use "Set Waypoint Location" or "Google Map", it passes the same numbers as as N xx xx.xxx / W xx xx.xxx, but as N xx xx.xxx / E xx xx.xxx which is a completely different co-ordinate.

The co-ordinate shown in the waypoint menu is correctly shown in the N/W notation.
