First off, AMAZING software! I really enjoy using it.

However I have noticed a few bugs:

1) When you manually put in a GPS coordinate as your target and hit convert, it is not converting to the right thing... it is consistently like 50 miles off target so maybe you want to check the math there.

2) In Heading -> Head Up mode, it always is exactly 180 degrees off. Like if I'm going east, it says I'm going west and the arrow points in the wrong direction. Touch Pro if that matters.

That's the only problems I've got so far, otherwise it's great!

P.S. - using version .26

I have the "Cache not found"-problem and not using proxy...

I can try to create a logfile, but currently do not have a regedit-tool for my htc...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Lord.Nibbler:
Hi Tom, I also have the "Cache Not Found" error now :(

I don't use proxy and a few days ago it was working fine, but now it doesn't work no more ! and I didn't changed anything to my settings meanwhile.

So I suspect that something changed in the authentication procedure at geocaching.com (maybe some need of cookies or browser user agent filtering (*), or something like that ?)

GCz_4_GeocacheAuth.htm file says "You are logged in" then GCz_8_GeocacheCacheDetail.htm says "You are not logged in"

the coordinates are displayed as "N/S ? ??.??? W/E ??? ??.???" which explain the "Cache not Found" message.

(*) EDIT : using wm browsers seems to confirm the user agent filtering hypothesis : Opera mobile can log in but Iris browser can't. Previously I was able to connect with Iris browser, now I can't anymore. Iris browser is based on webkit which is really accurate web engine so apart from user agent filtering I don't imagine why Iris browser wouln't be able to log in anymore.

Cheers,

Nibbler.

I had a similar message on Sunday - said it's a member only cache; but I don't think it is...

Will try a few more.

I'm on T-Mob in the UK and I've found their proxy to be a pain as well - I'm writing an app that works fine via the emulator or device+wifi but caused problems over the GPRS/3G network - turns out that the tags in the pages i'm parsing got completely munched, carriage returns and spaces stripped out all over the place!

I just tried today to make sure nothing nefarious was going on, and no problems here with GCz, IE, Iris, or Opera. No funny business on any of the browser user agents (that I know of).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Gech:
Hi

I build new version of GCz. (Not GCzII !!)

1) New GPS Monitor. (from GCzII. ;D)

2) Add GPS settings. (COM PORT/BAUD RATE)

3) Tried to avoid Proxy server modification.

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

For example:

<img src="../images/icons/compass/S.gif" alt="S" title="S" border=0>

vs.

<img src="http://10.160.168.155/www.geocaching.com/images/icons/compass/S.gif" alt="S" title="S" border=0>

Great work! Just tried this in the office via HSDPA and it seems to pull up caches fine.

Looking forward to trying it out with the new GPS monitor "in the field" once it stops raining :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Daemonicus73:
Nice one Tom.

I look forward to using this.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pingu-net:
Hi Tom,

That's near the absolute optimum... :)

Just one thing: Its easier for the user if you disable the light- and powersave functionality during the use of GCz.

Thanks a lot for this application.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pingu-net:
Are there any plans to "regionalize" the language? If yes and for german i would be proud tho help you

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CouchPotato:
Short description of a cache missing

Hello Tom,

i decided to test your program GCz in Version 0.32 and 0.32.1.

Everything looks fine to me on the first look, but i'm missing the short description of a cache.

For instance look at GCVVVV. It's a mystery Cache and the riddle part is in the short description. Many other caches have vital information in the short description too.

With GCz the only solution is to start the webbrowser to view this information one cannot see before.

I would simply add the short description in front of the long description as it is on the Groundspeak website.

I would like to see the possibility to save all (maybe expensive cause of GPRS/3G) information in a database on the storage card for later reference.

Thank you for your hard work!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Gech:
Hi pingu-net,

Yes, I forgot to add power management features which is already implemented into GCzII.

No plant to support multi-language for GCz but GCzII will support it as MUI.

I will need to get help to translate languages like German. ;D

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

Hi CouchPotato,

Yes I know the issue because someone told me about it before.

Also, GCzII will support offline mode. it will not required GPRS/3G Internet Connection if already caches saved.

thank you

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Lord.Nibbler:
Hi Tom,

unfortunately for me the new version doesn't fix the "cache not found" issue :(

Please find my logs attached.

Cheers,

Nibbler.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Gech:
I checked the logs.

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

1) Check Login or not Login phase

GCz_2_GeocacheCacheSeekStep1.htm

>>You are not logged in.

2) Get Login HTML

GCz_3_GeocacheLogin.htm

>>You are not logged in.

3) Login status

GCz_4_GeocacheAuth.htm

>>You are logged in as testgcz.

4) Cache page load

GCz_8_GeocacheCacheDetail.htm

>>You are not logged in.

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

It seems you use new test account "testgcz". right?

If the account was create as new user, Have you activate the account? (via email I think.)

I think, GC.com steps are

1) Registor

2) Recieve confirmation email.

3) Activate new account.

if the account just registered and not activate,

it will not show the Cache information like below.

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

You must be logged in with an account to view the Location Information. It's free!

N/S ? ??.??? W/E ??? ??.??? []

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

thanks

tom
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Gech:
It will be for GCzII and I think it will be started after finishing development Goecaching main features.

Mainly, it's just text strings as resource file but need to re-build to make DLL file.

regards,

tom
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Lord.Nibbler:
The account is a new one indeed ... but it is definitely activated !

I created this new account and activated it precisely to test the "cache not found" issue, because my regular account wasn't working no more and I wanted to test if there is something wrong with my account or if it is the same with all the accounts.

With my desktop computer or with opera mobile I can log in and the page displays the correct coordinates N 35° 41.638 E 139° 49.703 instead of N/S ? ??.??? W/E ??? ??.???

With Iris browser or GCz I can't log in :(

Please indicate me if I can give you some additional logs / informations or if I can do some tests to help you to diagnose the issue further.

Thank you so much,

Nibbler.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Gech:
Sorry again,

I re-build GCz to add power-saving disable feature and to support short-description.

1) Cache Info - Short description support.

2) Prevent power saving features. (suspend/back-light off)

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Gech:
Hi Lord.Nibbler

In your case, to know what happen.

I need to same environment to debug.

I think that only way is use your account name (testgcz) & password to trace step by step.

If you think it's ok. I will test it.

but you don't, I have no idea what happened.

thank you

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] medwyn:
Do you plan to add "import GPX" support with a reasonable number of caches to cope with (1000-2000-even more)? Probably using SQlite or something like that.

I would die for this feature. Currently I am using BeelineGPS, but am looking for something more user and touch friendly.

Another great feature would be a PC-based application able to import GPX to the database.

I know that angle of my view is a bit different than the approach of your app. But I feel there is another hole in the market which you could cover with GCz. :-D

Than you for your time and work, as a developer I know what it means and I appreciate that
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Titus_Andronicus:
That is because your file browser software is set to hide the extension. Just copy the new .exe into the gczii folder. It will ask if you want to overwrite the old one. Say yes and 'Bob is your uncle'.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Micha_X1:
He is fooling you!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SecretAgentMan:
Yep. I've pretty much thought that David is trolling.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] David1052:
Got it Got it Got it!!!!!! Thank you thank you thank you Paulloft and derlbear and every one else. I am sorry if some members thought that I was trolling I supose that means kidding. but no I realy am that bad and belive me it is not funny having to admit it. Since I have had this phone I have had a PC man in 4 times at £20 a go that is £80 extra I have spent just because I dont get on with some of the new gadgets. As mentioned before I should not be allowed to own one, and at times wish I did,nt If it was not for this site I would have just put it away in a draw and forgot about it once again thanks to every one I now have version 49 on my phone. I managed it by using the pc more than the phone though. Now I will delete all of my pages so that as Paul said I dont take up too much room but I would suggest that he leaves some of his instruction up I am sure I cannot be the only one. Once again a very big THANK YOU David
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] David1052:
Yep. I've pretty much thought that David is trolling

That sort of hurts a bit I would not donate to this site if I did not feel it was a big help to loads of people that need that little bit extra help David
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] derlbear:
I didn't think so. And I think I can speak for Paulloft and many other members, too. I'm glad that you finished installing .49 for now :) and I hope that the next updates will be available via AppToDate, which makes them a lot easier to install. But .48 and .49 are for testing purpose only and require a different way of installation (replacing the .exe file on your own).

Feel free to ask questions. Noone should be annoyed or something like that when there wasn't a solution on the last 5 pages. And please don't feel hurt because of SecretAgentMan and Micha_X1. It's understandable that it's unbelievable for some people that there are people who are able to find a forum like xda, go geocaching, own a windows mobile device and don't know how to copy&paste :) But that's the way it is. We ALL started like that and I know many people who have similar problems.. they all have my telephone number.. and hey, 37 calls on my mobile within one week... because of copy&paste, installing a computer mouse, connecting to a wireless network, installing open office..

What I explain to all of them: I only want to explain this ONCE!!! So please write everything down so that you know what to do the next time you want to do it :) One of my neighbours has about 60 pages now :o

So, David, the next time we expect you to know how to copy a file from a zip file into a folder on your mobile! If you don't, ask again :)

Cheers,

derlbear
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nebias:
Probably a silly question, but why not make the patch available on AppToDate ?

Surely a version that MAY work is better than a version KNOWN NOT to work

Similarly, why not make the patch available on the website for the same reason....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SecretAgentMan:
I'm guessing that since Tom has limited time, he doesn't want to cab up "beta" versions when he can quickly just provide the executable. It can take some time to put a cab file together. You could just cab up the update and install just the executable, but then you'd have two types of cabs, which can lead to more confusion. Since it's pretty straightforward to copy the new .exe over the old one, he probably just took the easier route.

I think AppToDate needs a cab, but I'm not sure.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paulloft:
David, I concur fully, completely and 100% with Derlbear's excellent post to you. I could not have said it better myself.

Is it difficult trying to talk someone through a process like this using a forum? Yes

Is it frustrating when someone cannot seem to do what, for us, is easy? Yes

Did we all start out that way one day? YES

And are there things I can't do that to others is second nature? Yes.

That's what this forum is all about, people helping others. Some need more help than others, that's ok.

As long as the questions are civil and polite and no one gets irate with anyone then I'm happy to answer where I can. In between customers in the shop - which was very busy today.

I was trying to think how to word things for you and silly people kept coming in asking for a bag of sherbet lemons or an ice cream :D

Anyway, very glad you have it sorted and maybe you will know a bit more next time you have to do it.

If you want to slim some of your posts down I don't think it will hurt as there is probably nothing there that others could learn from (especially the "nope still not working" type posts).

At the bottom of each post (right hand corner) is an 'edit' button. Click that and it will open a window with your text. Just highlight it and type something else in - has to be more than 5 characters. Type "Problem resolved" or something into each post and it will at least take it down to one line. Click 'Save' when you have done each one.

I will leave my initial instructions where they are as they may help someone.

Happy caching!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paulloft:
We will assume that of you if you ever need help. Then there might not even be 2 people offering you help.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] David1052:
Thanks Paul I know how frustrating it is trying to help people I have to help my brother over the phone with his PC and it is like the blind leading the blind, cannot buy an ice cream off you so have donated to this site again got two stars now Thanks again David
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Titus_Andronicus:
Whith 2 stars and a "Problem Fixed" post, likely not trolling...This isn't realy the trolling kind of forum or thread.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paulloft:

GCzII download options

Hi all, who can i select one cache when searching in terrain, because i got no flatrate? Download options allows only 20 caches or more, even when i'am searching only one cache by code.

Thank you,

SpoonYs
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SecretAgentMan:
I don't think that you can, AFAIK. I can see why you'd want to do that to keep your data usage down, though.

You might consider loading a PQ to your phone before you go out. If you know where you are going to be, do a radius PQ. After you load the PQ into GCz and before you leave to go caching, you can "download all caches" while you're still connected by Wi-Fi to get additional logs, etc. This should save you from using data in the field.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Titus_Andronicus:
GCzII doesn't dowload the caches unless you select "download all caches".

How you can download just one cache is to select it from the cach list page.

The reason GCzII can't display less than 20 caches in the cache list view is becay]use that is how the web page workes. Untill there is an public API, nothing can be done.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bikedoc1012:
cache not found !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a T-Mobile HD2 with a custom rom (Elegancia gtx version). I have read the whole forum and tried everything that was suggested along with reinstalling the app 4 times. It seems no matter what I do I keep getting Cache not found when I select one. Any ideas?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Gech:
Hi

Check GCz install folder.

If "Cache_DB" exist, it might be a cause.

thanks

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paulloft:
Which version are you running? It will be shown in the bottom left corner of the first screen.

From post 2982

"How to Avoid Being Flamed or Told Off on this forum:...

...

2. Post the version of GCz that you are using. Believe it or not, there is a chance that you may not have the current version installed.

3. State whether or not you have deleted the contents of \Cache_DB.

4. Confirm that on Geocaching.com, your language is set to "English"..."
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Derak666:
I have the same problem. I have GCz 0.2.35.47 installed on my X1 and since yesterday it always says "Cache no Found" everytime i try to view cache details.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sigi_cz:
David1052 and Paulloft : I guess you guys should solve this over PM not this thread. There is bunch of useles empty messages now.

I wish I could spam my rank up too, I can't even put links into my posts or edit them after posting...

Well don't take me too seriously. I'm glad problem is solved, but next time .. . PM guys, PM ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paulloft:
Well thank you for your words of wisdom and advise,

Sorry if we have put a lot of useless empty messages on YOUR forum. They were not useless to the person who needed help, and it was not known at the start of the exchange that it would go on so long.

At one point I did try to take it to email but it didn't happen.

Each post seemed like it would lead to a conclusion, but didn't.

I am aware that it is not good forum etiquet, but it's just the way the situation developed in this instance.

The resulting posts were edited down so as not to take up so much space on the thread.

Will they stop people finding info they need (when there is now a much more suitable dedicated forum)?

Maybe

But when some people can't even seem to find key information when it's posted in a huge post with red text every other page, it is unlikely that a string of edited posts is going to make one bit of difference.

There seem to be just 3 or 4 of us here (out of how many thousand users?) fielding questions and problems from other users and doing our best and giving our time to help everyone who needs help, as quickly as possible.

So if you are waiting for an apology from me after being 'told off' by you then please don't hold your breath.

This is not YOUR thread and it is not MY thread but it does have moderators. If they see fit to delete the string of edited posts then that's fine.

Have you annoyed me? Yep.

Maybe I would be less annoyed if my 'telling off' came from someone who joined in helping other people out now and then.

Maybe I will just unsubscribe from this thread and join the ranks of those who lurk in the background.

See ya.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] immutability:
Paulloft - and others - don't take the words of the other poster personally, and stay here. You guys on this forum are doing an excellent job by supporting this great free app (and supporting it for free) for many people who would be completely lost.

So, while I agree that the thread is terribly cluttered by "cache not found" requests and I'm laughing at the number of the big-red-posts explaining that there's already a .48 or .49 addressing this (or steps to address most issue); the fact that you've blanked out some of the recent messages made the thread easier to read. The best would be to delete them completely, but that's probably impossible, so it's better to at least keep them empty.

Tom - as always, thank you a lot for your effort! :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paulloft:
Hi immutability, not wishing to 'spam up my rank' (after all I only post help on here so I can get more posts to my credit which enables me to edit my poast and include links, hope everyone realises that) but:

Thanks for your comments.

But I will be bowing out of this thread for a while and unsubscribing.

That post has left a sour taste in my mouth, as I thought this was a fairly helpful and friendly place to be yet there are clearly people lurking who don't like what I am doing and see it as messing their forum up.

Tom has issued a new version now so there shouldn't be any problems for a while, so no need for me to be here anyway.

Thanks to everyone who has helped me with my questions and who have made this a nice place to hang out.

I'll be back....actually in the very next post, as I have one question for Tom - after that I'm gone for a while.

Cheers

Paul
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paulloft:
Hi Tom,

Many thanks for the update. Have installed and played with it and test dropped a TB in one of my caches.

But the post log UI looks just the same and I couldn't see how to use a visited function. There is just the grey inventory button which has a (1) after it when you have selected a TB to drop.

I definately have 0.2.35.50 installed, have emptied my cache_DB folder and my website language is set to English :D

How does this new feature work?
