Thanks for keeping the software so up to date and allowing us to cache with our WM devices.

I need to ask how I use the GPS logging feature. Its in the RADAR menu, there is a start logging and stop logging option.

I thought it might create a file that would log where I had been since I pressed 'start logging' to when I pressed 'stop logging' and that this file could then be used later on to calculate distance walked etc. I have used the start/stop buttons, but I have no idea where the created file might be found, what its called or how to access it.

If you could give me some information about the GPS logging feature I would really appreciate it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Gech:
Hi

Please find GPS Log folder at same place Cache DB folder.

Basically it is for debugging of GCz trace world wide location.

But you can use the NMEA formatted log file to trace your route by using tools GPS Babel like. It is a converter tool.

For Google map google earth many others.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sf49er:
Thanks so much for that. I have downloaded it and converted the file. Fantastic.

Thanks again for all the hard work with GczII

Request for additional menu items

Hallo Tom,

Vers .62 is really great!

Thank you so much

docfred

As told before by someone else, I also use the "Personal Cache Note" to store the final coords of a mystery cache. (sometimes for additional information e.g. password for the cache)

Perhaps it's possible to add two additional menu items (cache details):

1. Copy personal cache note to note

2. Create new waypoint from personal cache note
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Indianajoan:
Hi guys, have a quick question:

Is there any way to find the center point of multiple coords? I know Gatecacher has the option of finding the middlepoint, or two crossing lines, or the point where two circles cross x meters from the given coordinates. I thought maybe under Calculate Destination, but there I only found options for single coords.

For examples where this is necessary: (grr cant post links yet...Ill just have to give the examples)

Erinnert Euch an die beiden Schwaben und erweist ihnen die Ehre durch diesen Cache!

Peile vom größeren Schwaben: 127°

Peile vom kleineren Schwaben: 178°

Sight two lines and find where they cross

OR

Der Cache ist in A F (2*F) (F-B-A) Metern vom Schlösschen, und in Richtung A E A ° vom Schloss.

Er liegt an einer Stelle, die letztmals 1969 in Gebrauch war.

Go x Meters from Point 1 in ° from Point 2

OR

N 49° 24.CodeN13' E 008° 41.303'

CodeN13 = [ ( T * N ) - O ] + 307

N 49° 24.404' E 008° 41.CodeE14'

CodeE14 = ( R * F ) - ( N + K + C )

N 49° 24.CodeN15' E 008° 41.298'

CodeN15 = ( T - 3 ) * ( H - G )

Im Zentrum der Peilungen - na, ihr wisst schon.

Find the center point of the 3 Coords

If there is no way to do this in GCzii, what do you recommend?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nsa_sailor:
Scrolling in the Cache Description

On my device, I can use gestures to scroll through the cache list, but when I try that in the cache description, it just highlights the text. I think I know the reason (so that you can select, then copy text?), but most of the time, I just want to scroll through. I know there is a scroll bar off to the side, but it is rather hard to operate with gloves on (ala winter time searching).

Is there a possibility to have the cache description default to scrolling text, rather than selecting text? If necessary, one could add a menu item that would toggle between scrolling and selecting.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nsa_sailor:
Reload in Cache Description?

There is a "Reload" menu option on the cache description screen, but what does it reload? It doesn't appear to reload the cache data, as the "Reload Cache" menu option does in the main cache page.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nsa_sailor:
Easy to do. Just select the text, then copy (by selecting (highlighting) the text, then holding on the selected text until the Copy/Paste menu comes up, then select "Copy". Then go to the note page and "Paste" the text into the note.

Great work Tom.

I knew we could count on you to not let this app die!!

Cant wait for GCzIII.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Gech:
I don't remember detail. (How to use it.)

But perhaps it works.

Try copy "TEXT" from Cache Description.(It saves to clipboard.)

Then try Create new Waypoint　from Clipboard.

Latitude/Longitude should be inserted automatically from clipboard if the Lat/Lon format is correct.

thanks

tom

The TEXT should be included location info "N 31.1234 W 123.4567" like.

e.g)

---------------TEXT------------------

This is the sample note. the final location is N 31.1234 W123.4567

Copy text to clipboard then select "Add from Clipboard" menu.

---------------TEXT------------------

See pics.

If location info does not contain in clipboard, the text set to memo area of add waypoint screen.

(Latitude/Longitude are empty.)

Try!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Gech:
Ver 0.2.35.63

This version is just minor change of "Add from Clipboard" behavior.

No need to update if don't use "Add from Clipboard".

Before!!!

---------------TEXT------------------

This is the sample note. the final location is N 31.1234 W123.4567

Copy text to clipboard then select "Add from Clipboard" menu.

---------------TEXT------------------

Result of Add Waypoint from Clipboard.

Lat: N 31.1234

Lon: W 123.4567

Memo: (empty)

Now!!!

---------------TEXT------------------

This is the sample note. the final location is N 31.1234 W123.4567

Copy text to clipboard then select "Add from Clipboard" menu.

---------------TEXT------------------

Result of Add Waypoint from Clipboard.

Lat: N 31.1234

Lon: W 123.4567

Memo: This is the sample note. the final location is N 31.1234 W123.4567

Copy text to clipboard then select "Add from Clipboard" menu.

No location info in TEXT!!

---------------TEXT------------------

This is the sample note. the final location is

Copy text to clipboard then select "Add from Clipboard" menu.

---------------TEXT------------------

Result of Add Waypoint from Clipboard.

Lat: (empty)

Lon: (empty)

Memo: This is the sample note. the final location is

Clipboard Menu in the Calcuate Destination Screen?

How does the clipboard menu work in the Calculate Destination Screen? I tried it assuming it works likes the "Add from clipboard" option added in v.63, but it doesn't do anything. Is is supposed to work like the "Add from Clipboard" option added in v.63? It would be nice if it could.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Gech:
The "Clipboard" menu send "Destination" text to Clipboard.

It is not for getting text from Clipboard.

If you need to set location values.

Try Tap&Hold Latitude/Longitude text input area.

[Copy/Paste/Cut/Undo/Select all] popup menu appears.

But, to add new "Copy from Clipboard" button is nice on the screen.

thanks

Hi

Ver 0.2.35.64

1) Add "Clipboard" menu in Calculate Destination of GPS Monitor.

- "Send Destination to Clipboard"

- "Send Lat/Lon to Clipboard"

- "Recv Lat/Lon from Clipboard"

to test this, need to rename Language file "GCzII.exe.04xx.mui" to another file name.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SdKfz.171:
Tom,

you are posting updates to your superb app faster than I can download them :D

Thanks again for your work
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Daemonicus73:
When you create a route within Tomtom, whether that be a standard navigate to or an advanced A to B, it must be stored in a temp file somewhere because when you restart Tomtom the route is still there.

I have had a look around but can not find anything (even looked in registry).

If we could have GCZ just edit that file directly then launch Tomtom this would be a great solution.

Dave.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Yep, this tells me that the name of the int file is stored somewhere. Let us know if you find it, I'll look around today as well. I bet it's a config file somewhere, don't think TomTom uses the registry but I could be wrong.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Boyo:
I'll try to see what I can find as well, in between my caching today that is...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Daemonicus73:
I think I have found where the last route taken is stored. It is contained in a file called "MapSettings.cfg" and is housed in the map folder.

I looked in a hex viewer at the file when there was no route planned in. I then planned a route to a location I had never been before and shut down Tomtom. I looked at the file again in hex and I could see the location I had set up contained in the file. My knowledge of hex is very limited so it might need someone who knows what they are doing to have a look (and give me some tips if possible please)

Hope this helps

Dave.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Boyo:
Went out today and while in the MIDDLE of looking for a cache I accidentally hit back and went back to the main screen. Well, I get an error that says "Not Found [VIEWSTATE]" (Screenshot below). After getting rather aggravated, thinking my phone went dumb, I moved on to the next cache, and again got the same thing when I got closer to where I knew it was, trying to find it. The second screenshot below is a screenshot of Geocaching.com with the relevant source code for it to be down.

Was thinking you could check for it to see if maybe the site is down and display a message that says Geocaching.com is down for maintenance.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Boyo:
Opened it up in a Hex editor and it seems there's no set format for the file that is easily decipherable. I'm thinking that Garmin may be better, since the ability to import is at least there, and you can set it for "Off Road" once you get to the general area.

Would be nice to be able to use both but it seems Garmin is more open to others interfacing with it then Tomtom. Now with all that said, I still prefer Tomtom for my road navigation since that's what i've used for awhile now.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Daemonicus73:
Like I said I have not got a clue how to read a hex file (apart from picking out he ascii bits) I presume you know more. If this method is not an option maybe it would be better to just create a "GeocacheParking.ov2" file, as the format for this is available on the internet and then you can just use "navigate to poi" from within tomtom. The other method would be better but using a poi would be better than nothing.

Dave.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Rather than getting this overly complicated, how about this...

One sets up TomTom ahead of time and saves the Itinerary as some set filename, say GCz. GCz then can create the data and write it into that file.

That way TomTom is already using that file, and if you aren't creating your own itineraries, it will continue to be the default one, even if GCz is re-writing the actual contents of it. And even if you don't "set up" TomTom ahead of time, once you've loaded and started using the GCz.itn file, it will continue to be the default in TomTom until you clear it.

That simplifies things, right?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Daemonicus73:
Yeah that sounds good i'm just not really familliar with itinaries. I was just thinking of what would be the BEST method. Obviously things would be so much simpler if tomtom had a command line :)

I'm sure someone with enough knowledge could crack the MapSettings.cfg and then force tomtom into thinking it already had a route planned in, even if it didnt.

I understand if it is not possible, just trying to learn a little myself along the way.

Dave.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Heh, I'm certainly not either, I just spent about an hour yesterday on the net searching around for TomTom command line, TomTom automation, etc etc, and accidentally came across a KML to ITN converter which then got me on the path of creating ITN files.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Daemonicus73:
Hi

Ive been doing the same today, I wish I could say I had only spent an hour :) (much to my wifes disgust).

I found the pdf file for the sdk for TT3 which gave some info on file format for itn and ov2 files but it only had a little meaning to me.

I hope someone with some good knowledge on the situation can tell us if it is possible or not.

Dave.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bornl33t:
I saw this tonight. We went out and were driving for a nice area to walk and cache and just before we arrived I wanted to refresh the area caches. I backed out to the main screen and hit search from current location and got that message. I soft reset a few times and that message went away and now it says

"Invalid form location"

I've reinstalled GCZ to a different location, soft reset a dozen times or so and I still cannot search by zip code or by current location. I can however so a search for by cachecode and it will display the cache info. I'm completely stumped right now. GPS and data connection worked fine the whole time.

Anyway, as I sit here trying to see if anyone else had the issue I see that GCzII has the search feature enabled. I can do a search for caches and it displayed corretly but it will not show the caches on google maps. I get an error. Screenshot on the right is trying to show caches in GCzII
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Boyo:
I'm getting the "Invalid form location" as well after it worked for about 2 hours for us to go out and play then when we got back home it was doing this. I'm sure it has something to do with the geocaching website and not the program or our devices.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bornl33t:
Confirmed. I did a hard reset and installed only GCz and I still had this issue.

how to completely remove GCZ

Hi,

I'm having problems with my application and would like to do a new fresh installation.

Does anyone now how to completely remove the application from the phone including settings?

By just uninstalling, it seems some information remains (like the zip-code entered on the first screen.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vdefender:
Triple confirmed. I have reinstalled/uninstalled/soft rest my device to get rid of the "invalid form location" message but nothing has worked. I can also still access the cache by typing in the cache number but searching near my location is broken =(

I almost did a hard reset to make sure I was getting a fresh copy of the program installed, but I haven't gone that route yet.

The trouble started when I tried to search by zip code: 98058

Hi Folks,

da ich diesen Thread nun leider schon eine ganze Weile nicht mehr eingesehen habe, hat es mich heute um so mehr gefreut, das GCzII nun schon in Version 0.2.35.64 verfügbar ist. Dafür ein richtig dickes Dankeschön an

alle

Beteiligten!

Ich habe es gerade auf meinem HTC Orbit 2/Touch Cruise problemlos installiert und es läuft mit dem 0.2.35.64 Sprachpaket bisher ganz sauber und reibungslos. Danke das ihr soviel Zeit und vor allem Arbeit in dieses Projekt einfließen lasst. Weiterhin ein dickes Dankeschön dafür, dass man diese Software im Vergleich zu ähnlichen Programmen immer noch kostenlos bekommen kann und der Support klappt ja weiterhin, wie man hier ja nachlesen kann.

WP7 Question

Thanks to this group for all the efforts to keep gczii working... it's a great app! Especially when you finally start to use your wife's Christmas present (a WP7 phone) and realize the geocaching app for that SUCKS compared to all the functionality I am use to having at my fingertips.

I researched some posts in the 4,600 range and what I read is kind of what I expected. Any update would be appreciated.

Stupid question - I assume I cannot install .64 into to WP7 OS, correct? I may have to look at shelving the new phone to go back to WM6.5.

Keep up the great work!

Ray
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paulloft:
Goodness me, I haven't been around here for a while and then I get a message saying a change has been made to the Nique website. And I find version 64!!

Crumbs I was still with 58 so I had obviously missed something.

On checking back here I find I can now use the notes on the cache page - how excellent is that??? I always put corrected coordinates for puzzle caches into GSAK but then downloaded the PQ to run in GCz, so the coordinates were not in there - now they can be with just a quick reload.

And everything else now working beautifully.

Thank you Tom for your continued development of this great app, and sorry for my being absent without leave, I will try and keep up from now on. :D

I wish to have such a feature too! It's soo fiddly to hit the scroll bar on the right side of the screen and scroll the cache description :-/ This is always a little annoying; Gesture scrolling mode of cache description would improve the GCzII experience by far. Especially since users always need to scroll to read the cache description and only use text selection in rare cases (from my experience).

But there should be a toggle menu, so that the copy/paste coordinates you just implemented will work. Say a menu item that toggles back and forth for gesture scrolling/ text selection.

Is it possible to short German? It seems bit longer.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MisaNov:
Just a quick note:

In czech translation It would be better not using these words:

Zeměpisná šířka

Zeměpisná výška

there is only visible "Zeměpisná", because it is long.

Better use:

Zem.šířka

Zem.výška

or just

Z.šířka

Z.výška

In the case of Lat/Lon it should be the same translation, so correction should be:

en "Send Lat/Lon to Clipboard"

cz "Vložit šířku/výšku do schránky"

en "Recv Lat/Lon from Clipboard"

cz "Získat šířku/výšku ze schránky"

en "Latitude/Longitude is empty!"

cz "Šířka/Výška jsou prázdné!"

Thanks for correction.

Oh this just gets better. The scrolling is perfect.

Trouble is with the software moving on so much and S.A.M's regular instruction post any questions people now have are too difficult for me to help with. Which is good because it seems most people are now not having simple problems but instead enjoying the software.

This software is one very good reason never to upgrade to a winmo 7 phone.

Thanks Tom.
