Hello Gech!

Let me give you congratilations for your amazing aplication. I´m a new user and everything is good in the aplication for me now. I´m just wondering if it´s possible to edit the line code to execute other aplication instead of google map?? I´m a user of garmin mobile xt, oziexplorer ce and tomtom in a HTC Herald WM device. I believe that for a geocacher the use of this on and offroad aplications included in your amazing GCZ will the TOP off all aplications.

Many thanks in advance

Best regards.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] derlbear:
Google Maps is used to show the current cache(s) on a map (maybe because of the satellite view). You can't send the caches to TomTom with 1 tap so that it shows your current caches.

But you can easily export your caches into the map folder of TomTom and when you open TomTom the caches are in the POI-list. Maybe this is what you are looking for :)

Cheers,

derlbear

-You can hand over the caches to OziCE if you export to *.gpx in GCzII and import that file in OziCE. Anyway this is not as perfect as GSAK-Export to Ozi.wpt because the additional waypoints are missing and every Cache has the same colour regardless of its individual type.

I asked Tom for a decent OziCE-Export already. Maybe he will do it someday. :)

-I think you can give Garmin Mobile XT a try to import the *.gpx-Export file, too. I don't know if it works, because i'm not using it.

-TomTom-Export is ready and works really fantastic! Thank you Tom! :)

Field Note / Post Log bug

Thanks, didn't know about that file. Tom, any chance of being able to view that file directly from within GCzII in the future? A list view of the individual notes, allowing us to remove ones we no longer need from the list, would be very helpful, similar to the cache list, where we can Remove from list, etc.

While I'm talking about Field Notes, I found what I believe to be a bug. After entering a Field Note, if I later go to Post Log, with the intention of logging my find using the info from my Field Note, I go to Field Note and see my previous entry. However, the Menu->Post Log option is greyed out and my only options are to Add a field note or make a Quick Note.

In order to be able to Post Log using my Field Note, I first have to open the Field Note, then hit Cancel, Yes, and at this point, all of the options in the Menu are now available, including Post Log.

Seems very strange and counter-intuitive to me that you have to go back into each Field Note, then cancel out, before being able to Post Log from the Field Note. Only reason I can see is that you somehow have to populate the fields and identify the specific field note you want to Edit/Delete/Post Log from; is this correct? If so, why support having more than one field note per cache or why not have some type of selection mechanism, like what you use for Trackables, to simplify the process?

Did you choose 1 record on the Field Note list?

(Field Note can contain several records.)

If you not, "Post Log" manu grayed out.

Because "Post log" needs to choose 1 record to post it.

thanks

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] realhuette:
Is it really just me who has this problem??

btw, thank you for the new "quick mark" option!!

And another question: poi export is a great feature but because i do not use tomtom .ov2 does not help. would it be possible to export to .asc too? It's a simple format and goes like this:

13.34326, 52.47816, "Innsbrucker Platzhirsch>+GC140H7"
13.35358, 52.47910, "Touri - "Die Telefonzelle 30">+GC1TXW9"
13.34436, 52.48490, "Die Glocke>+GCJED6"
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Master Darko:
I agree with the earlier suggestion of making lists searchable rather than sortable....

In the mean time, could we please have an option to sort lists so caches marked "Found It" are listed first?

Cheers for awesome app!

GPX import

Hi,

I am trying to import GPX file from other source than PQ (i.e. GeoGet). It contains "<![CDATA[" construction in listing, which GCz does not understand. It is standard XML syntax, so it would be nice if GCz accept it.

Some screenshots and testing data are attached.

Just wanted to post to say thanks. We just started Geocaching on Sunday and your app has provided every possible tool we could hope for, and I keep finding new features! It's made our experience fun right from the very start.

Thanks a lot for making such an awesome app, and especially for keeping it so up-to-date!

Just wanted to say thanks for such a quick response to GC.com's latest tweaking. When I left work, I'd just seen the note about GCzII not being able to access live data and by the time I had headed out later to grab some caches, a new update was available. Many thanks! :D

Post Log directly from Cache List

I really like the Quick Mark feature you added to the menus in the Cache List display and was wondering if you'd be able to add the Post Log option as well. Right now, we need to open the cache's full page before being able to select Menu->Post Log, so this would be a much quicker way to accessing it.

Also, will you be adding the display of the red X for DNF'd caches? Currently, you display a blue X for DNF Field Notes, but nothing is shown for DNF Post Logs, which would be very nice to have when reviewing the Cache List display.

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] elliotboney:
I just wanted to say that this application is amazing. I was screwing around with some of the costly ones before some1 suggested yours, and it blows them out of the water. Not to mention the fact that is constantly updated with new features and fixes so half the fun of geocaching now is to download the new version and see what's new!

Thanks so much for your awesome application and your non-stop help on the forum.

how to upgrade

Hi all,

I've just started using this great application, and it's time to do the update to fix that pesky GC code issue. Is it necessary to reinstall (in which case should I uninstall the old one first) or can I simply copy over the newer exe file?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Just install the newer cab. If you install AppToDate, it'll update it for you when you run it. Very handy.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jifr:
Hello, just an GCz feature idea. For our next trip I have about 10 gpx files generated from GC.COM. It would be great if GCz can do something like folder import.

Jirka

P.S.

Yet another fast questions.

Using current version of GCz what to do if I have more than one GPX file and I need to import all of them to one caches list ?

Each import will create one caches list for me currently.

How to add caches to other existing caches list ?

How to put together two caches lists ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jifr:
Just now I tried it. It seems that it can decode GeoGet GPX export correctly.

But I can see problem in total cache/waypoints numbers. It is for this test version and for official version also.

I have three files. GSAK GPX export 1.0, 1.1 and Geoget Pocket Query GPX

There is 531 caches and 410 additional waypoints. They were created from 18 GPXs generated by GC Pocket queries.

Using GCz GPX import I had the following results

GSAK GPX 1.0, 1.1 - 500/870

GeoGet - 500/909

Test files : http://tmp.georgie.name/gpxtest.zip

Or is there some 500 limit ?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jk75:
Hi,

thanks a lot for spending hours and hours to polish this little gem.

I have a suggestion how to implement the search of nearby caches (mode 3) in offline mode. If all cachelists are merged together in a virtual cachelistr,the program has to sort the caches in that list by distance from current location and show the first 20 (or x*20) entries. I don't know,if that could help,if not sorry,for wasting your time:)

Filter out your finds?

Tom,

Great app. Running fine on a xv6800 6.1 MR2, Verizon, with a GPS hack.

Maybe I've missed this feature, but is there any way to filter out your finds when displaying caches? For example, I would use the search around current location when looking for caches to find in a given area. In such a search, I wouldn't be interested in seeing the caches I have already found. I know that I can just look for the caches without the red "found" checkmark, but a filter to not show caches you have found would be great. In some areas, I have a lot of found caches, and would have to go through several pages just to get to the ones I haven't found. :eek:

Thanks!

When trying to import this gpx file it stops at 427/500. And I have to kill the GCzII process.

Tom -- Thanks SO much for this program! I had settled on BeeLineGPS about a year ago, after trying out at least half a dozen geocaching support apps. I stumbled onto your GCzII application today and even though I've only run through the menus and options I'm already blown away by the UI, the features, and how well you've integrated it with geocaching.com. I'll be using it tomorrow, and I have a feeling BeeLine is about to be dethroned. FYI, I'm running it on a TP2 (T-Mobile US) and so far it has been running flawlessly.

Hey tom

one of your original testers checking in :)

Wow man i finally got smart and turned on the WiiFii with this program in mind.

Great job, i noticed the did not find cache bug, and youve already fixed it, (again haha), with wiifii it doesnt even matter that i have no data anymore, im going to start using gczII again for entering all my logs and just upload them thru the wiifii when i get home. So besides having to wait till i get home (which is better with the bloodsucking mosiquitos so prevalent this year) this program is actually working better with all your new additions, and bug fixes then when i had my data on before i got laid off.

Thanks alot man! When are you going to approach them about making this a featured tool? And should i expect to have to pay for it in the future?

Im going to do a how to use gczII at some point in the near future and feature it on my caching site. Unless someone has one up already?

(must be very newbie friendly)

Holy... freakin... crap.

This app is amazing. I got out of geocaching a couple years ago. I am (like most users here) a fairly early adopter, with a winmo phone for a VERY long time. It REALLY frustrated me that nobody had an all in one app like this (at any price). The multiple steps of importing caches, converting files, etc started to grate on my nerves after a couple years. I am SO glad someone came up with this.

Now, for the more important question. I looked ALL over your site, and can't find a paypal. Am I blind? (I have had a few beers, so it's possible I'm an idiot)

Please let me know how I can show my appreciation for this app. (and hey, if you used the donation to spend some time figuring out how to import into Garmin Mobile XT, then awesome, hahaha).

Seriously tho... what is your paypal?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zephxiii:
Wow this program is dope!! Before I had to look everything up on the website, then right it all down....real pain in the ass...especially if you are out and about and want to look up other stuff. This app though solves all of those problems and makes geocaching less of a pain in the arse, thanks!

Great work!

Just to say thanks Tom.

I took an early version of GCz I away with me on holiday in about April. I found myself thinking it was a pretty cool app, but it would be nice to have one or two additional features. Well here we are only 5 months later and all I can say is WOW! GCz II has way exceeded any of my expectations and has met all my initial desires and added way more. It is truly a fantastic app. I personally don't think for the time and effort you have put it that it should be freeware, but hey, all I can do is donate and say thanks. It has made the other paid products that I bought for my phone redundant.

Thanks for the fun, ease of use and all the hard work!

Hi Tom,

Here's a static map download behavior request.

During a "Download All Caches" function, static maps that were not downloaded successfully on the previous run will re-download.

I noticed static maps that were not downloaded have a file size of 3,296kb and can be used as a comparison to determine if static map need to be re-downloaded.

*Update: I only have this problem when the cache download directory is on \My Storage

I have a problem now with the cache list. It isn't the software's fault becuase it just started doing this and continues to do it even when i reinstall an older version. The cache list is REALLY slow and laggy, takes fovever to load the whole thing after a search, loading an old list, or anything.

I have erased the cache database, and I still have this problem. I can't figure out what has changed recently that would make it slow down, but I was hoping some one here would know what would cause that!

Hi Tom!

I tested the 0233c.cab today on my xda diamond and everything works fine!!

I set gps to com4 and 9600 for my device and a few minutes after activate gps I got a right signal and the right location in google maps.

I other apps (like Richesse GPS) I can activate settings like "Prevent suspend mode" I'm not sure but I think its to prevent that the gps stops when u run less than 6km/hour. Don't know perhaps its usefull for GCz too?

Will it be selectable to use the windows gps-management so that I can use other apps (that need gps - like tracking apps to get locations for photo-trips) at the same time.

Do u still need someone to translate GCz into German?

khaytsus:

If you have a look at the GC forum, this program's thread was removed by Mods due to it being in violation. A Bit Anal if you ask me, but I guess rules are rules. :-(

I dont understand how Trimble's version doesn't violate something or another, but I guess it depends on who is sponsoring or more sponsored... something like that.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
WHAT? Being in violation of what, they aren't profiting off of it?? You've *got* to be kidding.

Since some over-zealous idiot deleted the thread, what was their excuse? Afraid of competition against their own tools? The signature? The lookup methods?

http://www.google.com/search?q=gcz+site:forums.groundspeak.com

Don't see any reasons except one thread someone mentioning something about an administrator. I suspect it's the methods GCz uses to pull the data, but I bet when it comes down to it, their iPhone app and Trimble do the same thing.

Gech, does GCz use IE and IE's useragent? Perhaps the signature gone is now a good idea if they're so uptight about it, but as long as it's using PIE's useragent I can't see they would notice the lookups.

PLEASE don't let this stop your development :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] eyecannon:
I have a question about the position averaging you are using in GPS mode. I've noticed that the position in Google Map mode updates more quickly, while if you change position in GPS mode, the distance indicator updates much more slowly. I have a feeling that you are doing a time average (perhaps of the entire time the GPS mode is open?) that causes the distance to update very slowly. Do you know the time you are using to average the position?

There are some screenshots and CAB file to test GPS Monitor.

To save GPS log.

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

1) Need to change registry.

REG_GPS_NMEA_LOG = (DWORD) 1

2) Create folder.

\Program Files\GCzII\Log

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jack_Brody:
Hi Tom,

I installed the new version and went out to test it. I entered nearby reference point to navigate to. It worked fine, without problems. The degrees was displaying correct value. The NMEA log was written correctly as well.

One thing: the blue arrow (my heading) pointed to weird directions when I was standing still (0 km/h) and was slowly turning around. Maybe it would be good idea to remove the blue arrow if the speed is 0.

Could you add the speed among the indicators?

Do you also plan to add the circle around current position indicating the accuracy and dotted trail left behind (as argh wrote in this post - http://www.modaco.com/index.php?s=&showtopic=284528&view=findpost&p=979755)?
