Hi

Now you can see Geocoding testing part.

http://d.hatena.ne.jp/Gzh/20090502#1241152541

GCzII_20090502_1230_0233q.cab

1) Menu > Option > Geocoding Settings.

Only 2 lists are in the list as default.

1st list is for "US" and 2nd is for "JP".

Some countries might need to change the parameter to match the location.

If you know matched parameter for your country. please let me know.

I will add it as default.

****************************************

So, I'll have a one-week vacation starting tomorrow.

Maybe I will not be able to visit here.

Thank you for the log.

I understand the issue.

Copy "GCz_8_GeocacheCacheDetail.htm" to your PC.

And Drag&Drop it to Internet Explorer.

You will see the WEB page. (as offline page)

So, your HTTP file has not included Location Information.

N XX XX.XXXX / E XXX XX.XXXX like.

I don't know why it happened but it seems GC.com.

please take a look attached screenshot.

Left image is yours and right is mine.

thank you

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] petermg:
heh... is there a fix? What should I do? :confused::(

EDIT: My bad.. I'm retarted. I never activated my account on GC.com. As soon as I activated it it worked!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!

I think when I signed up for my account I didn't receive an email right away with the activation code and then forgot about it. Thanks again for this AWESOME APP!!!!

:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Gech:
Ahh

I understood, your GC.com account had not activated.

That's why the location would not be showned on it.

Geocoding parameters for uk

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps/geo?output=xml&oe=utf8&hl=gb&q=%s

Hope this is what you are after.

Think the layout of the search results needs a little tweaking. See attached image.

D.

[Edit]

When I put "Boston" in the search string it pulls up "Boston, MA, USA"

If I put "Boston, UK" in the search string it pulls up "Boston, Lincolnshire, UK"

I thought it would pull up the second result for both search strings as I am defaulted to the UK region code?

Hi Tom :)

geocoding works fine :cool: but I have noticed two little issues :

1°) when there is an apostrophe in the text to be displayed GCz displays &apos; instead.

2°) If the text is longer than a line it encroaches a little on the coordinates line below.

Nibbler.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Phil82de:
That works really fine!! =)

I use

http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?output=xml&oe=utf8&hl=de&q=%s

for getting the destination written in German, and this

http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?output=xml&oe=utf8&hl=de&q=%s,DE

to search for caches in Germany first (much easier cose I have only to type a short post-code).

After I edit the active setting-string I have to click on it again to activate, thats a bit strange I forgot a few times.

Have a good vacation!

Hi Tom,

I found some work for you after your holidays ... :p

After closing GCzII a failure notification is shown on the screen (see below).

This failure kind of blocks the BT connection to my GPS mouse such other applications like TomTom can only connect to the GPS receiver after deleting and reestablishing the BT-Connection.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] derlbear:
I followed your steps and changed the value within the .ini file.. then I imported it, closed GCzII, opened a registry viewer, checked the value... and it's "0".

I use SK Tools, but that costs money. Google "Mobile Registry Editor" and you'll find a software that can change the registry of your mobile via Activesync. That should do the job.

Cheers,

Hello derlbear

I have now downloaded and installed a freeware called MobiReg v1.00 and REG_CACHE_LIST_MAX has now the value of 1000.

I have tested on one GPX with 1000 entries, it took some time but it works.

Many thanks for setting me on the right track.

App crashing on retrieving cache details

First of, let me say that this is a GREAT app. I have used it quite a bit and it has rarely failed me. But, recently, something has gone wrong and I'm hoping someone can help me out.

I cleared out a couple of apps taking up memory (TomTom Navigator was the main app removed) and now, when I go to open up the details of one cache from the list, the app crashes and drops me out to my device screen. If I then open up the app after this I find the cache details have been downloaded.

I don't really want to have to restart the app each time I grab the details of a cache. Is it my device, the geocaching site or am I missing a vital component (e.g. some CF component, I already have NETCFv35.wm and NETCFv35.Messages installed) to prevent the app from crashing?

I have noticed that the listing, when reopened, displays a line that says:

(ahrefclassCacheCodeLink...)

the '...' part I can't read properly because it is hidden by the cache size icon. I don't remember this appearing when it downloaded the cache details properly.

I have an HTC HD2 running the touch screen version of the app. Hope someone can help.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] M_Family:
Regarding the crash issue:

There is a new version to fix this problem but it is not listed on the main website.

Information about version 0.2.35.46 is found in post #3450

Cheers,

Matthew.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amethyst:
Fixed! Thank you very much :-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] geisven:
Hei

Have tested version 0.2.35.46 found in post #3450 and all my probs are gone.

The closedowns are gone and the fail message when reg a log is not there.

Will test further today.

Very good app and it works now great on my HD2.

Another issue I had after installing googlemaps 4.1. The map text was double.

Fixed: GCz used the old Google Map in the windows folder, when I changed the path inn GCz to the new Google map in the programfiles folder everything went good:-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] derlbear:
The solution was only 1 page back (Paulloft's post). When a thread is only about 1 topic, it is really helpful if you just have a look at the last few pages to check whether there is someone who has the same problem OR if there is already a solution.

That could have saved you both a lot of time, you know, and trouble ;)

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
two smaller display issues

Hi,

since I got Version .46 I have two display issues with GCzII:

1) the size of dl'ed cache data isn't displayed any more after some kbytes...

2) in the "select cache list" menu the field names (in front of path etc) are shown as: [][][][][][] or something similar

I think, since I'm working with the German translation, that there's an issue with the translation in cooperation with the new version. Is there any possibility to fix the issues?

Greetz

Zap
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] derlbear:
*thumbs up* :)

Hi Zap,

I also use the German translation file and I don't have these problems. The downloaded data is correct and the field names are also fine. Maybe a reinstallation of both files GCzII and the translation files could help.. but I'm not sure :( . I just wanted to say that I don't have these problems with .46 and the German version.

Cheers,

Hi Tom,

Many thanks for the new version, much appreciated.

The problem with the "Cache Overviw" is actually with the website links - the overview list comes up just fine.

Each cache type is a hyperlink to the GC.com website where you used to be able to click on, say Traditionals, and it would take you to the list of found caches of that type in the web browser.

It was a handy link from time to time, although not an essential part of the program, a 'nice to have'.

Now, when I click on any of those hyperlinked cache type names n the overview list, the web browser opens but with the following:

ERROR!

Could not open file

You tried to access the address

file://localhost/seek/nearest.aspx?...

which is currently unavailable. Please

make sure that the web address (URL) is

correctly spelled and punctuated, then

try reloading the page.

Maybe it is just me as I haven't seen anyone else report it, so maybe I have a setting or two wrong.

But I haven't changed anything in the settings that I am aware of and the problem seemed to start after the last gc.com update.

Cheers

Paul

Description of Cache crash GCzII

I installed GCzII 0.2.35.45 for first time few days ago.

I had already solved few problems with using this app correctly.

Version -.45 was crashing with loading details of cache, leaving me on main display. As I noticed, not every cache was crashing. This was solved by installing version 0.2.35.47 BUT still remain with trying to open description of certain caches. It display introduction and while trying load rest of description app crash leaving me on main display. Again there is more caches that works correctly.

divice: Xperia X2 , Win.Mobile 6.5 with MR3 update,

I would add some examples - links to caches that works fine and which don't but I am not allowed post links yet. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paulloft:
I suspect your problem might be that you have caches stored in your Cache_DB folder which need to be cleared out.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] enyon:
looks like this help :)

Good point... did not noticed if it was only caches already download. But seems it worked. Thank you.

no details

hi!

i'm using gczII for over a year now and it allways worked.

now since a few weeks, the programm only shows me the overview information for the caches that i was searching for.

i do get a list of as many caches as i want to, but when i want to look at one of them - there is not one button like description, hint, cache logs, inventory etc. - only the name of the cache, the difficulty etc. at the top of the page.

i allready have installed version .47, but still no change.

what can i do?

PLEASE help me, i loved that programm so much and i still want to go caching with it.

bernhard
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] derlbear:
Hi ataxerxes,

Have you already cleared the Cache_DB folder? You can find it in the GCzII folder. Just erase everything that's in there and reload the caches. That MIGHT help :)

Cheers,

derlbear
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ataxerxes:
no detail-buttons

did that allready - doesn't change anything.

still no detail-buttons.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
Hi, I've had a similar issue (could see the cache list, but not open ANY cache) with the app. From my point of view there are only two possibilities to solve it:

a) try to uninstall GCzII completely (Uninstallation + deletion of Folder + cleanup i.e. by SKTools, especially all of the registry entries have to be deleted), then re-install GCzII in V .47 -> test it

if this won't work:

b) hardreset + new installation -> solved the problem for me completely :D

in my opinion is this an issue with v .46 which has a problem to handle the caches dl'ed with v .45, ... maybe ...

cheers,

Crash when displaying a cache description

Hello,

I experience a crash when trying to see cache description for a particular cache (other info are displayed ok for instance the cache log). See a video capture there of the 'automatic close' when displayed a cache description.

Any idea : is it a bug, do I need to perform an other install ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SecretAgentMan:
What version are you running. Look in the lower left corner of the main screen.

If it's not .47, load it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paulloft:
Why do people, when they have a problem, come to the forum then spend ages describing their problem and adding screenshots and video instead of just reading back a few pages first to see if anyone else is having the same issue and finding the solution? Strange.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jackouille:
Hi,

i install GCzII v 0.2.35.42 on my storage card and if i seek a cache with USB connection internet on my PC no problem :). If i try with my GSM connection i have this error message : buffer HTTP is empty [\carte de stockage\program files\gczii\http_log\00_geocoding.xml] :mad:

what is the problem ?

I am on ACER S200 and I update with GCzII 47 and the problem is the same !!! also I try hard reset and no solution.

thks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] derlbear:
Hi Jackouille,

If you don't have the problem when you use the USB connection, it can't be a GCzII problem. It must be something else on your device. Do other programs work with your GSM connection?

Cheers,

derlbear
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jackouille:
thks for your help. I can use my GSM connection with others programs like Google maps or Youtube ...

any idea ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] derlbear:
Ah okay. There must be something wrong with your geocoding settings. Maybe this post of Gech helps. There was a person before that post who had the same problem.

Cheers,

derlbear

Edit: Oh, I forgot. You said that it works when you use the USB connection. Hmm... is it possible that your provider blocks some user-agents?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SecretAgentMan:
Do you really need to install the app on the card? You can still have GCz point to the card to store files even if you load the app to the phone. This is just a wild guess, but try installing GCz to the phone instead and see if it clears up your problem.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jackouille:
thks but I try with install on my phone and not on my card and it's the same problem.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SecretAgentMan:
Try PMing the user (erikcornelisse) who posted THIS POST. He had the same problem and fixed it.

Unfortunately, he didn't post the solution.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] namhtc:
I'm already running this version.

I've used the function "search the thread" before posting with no clear answer.

By the way, after "reload cache" I'm able to display cache description again.

But the same pb (GCzII crash) occurs sometimes when displaying description of the cache just after cache first load.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SecretAgentMan:
Try deleting everything in \Cache_DB . This should have been done when you upgraded to .47, but it's worth a shot trying it manually. Basically, this clears older cached caches which may be causing the crashes.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] namhtc:
Thanks for your quick answer, I have performed this "trash" manually and I will let you know if it solves the "crash" :).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paulloft:
I don't think installing a new version does clear the Cache_DB folder, so it's best to do it manually.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paulloft:
Would be interested to know if it does solve the problem as everyone who has had the crashing problem has resolved it by following the steps posted as a summary some pages back, which included installing the latest version and clearing the cache_db folder.

Apologies for my implied criticism of your initial post, but you have to admit, the issue you described and showed in your video is exactly that which has been discussed at great length here for several weeks now since changes to the GC.com website caused GCz to start crashing as you describe.

And the steps to a solution are documented across many pages.

With Tom not able to post to this forum on a daily basis there seems to be only a few of us fielding other user's problems and it does get frustrating typing the same suggested solutions all the time.

But then I suppose no one asked me to get involved so it's my own fault :D

But hopefully your latest actions will solve your problem and you can start caching again.

Good luck :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Titus_Andronicus:
This is exactly why I setup the http://gczii.newstarforum.com forums. This solution got burried a couple of pages back, and a noob couldn't find it. Then there is 2 pages of angst before he figures it out. On the dedicated GCzII forum, he likley would have immediatly seen a thread with the solution. Hopefuly Tom will officialy sanction the forum, then maybe it will get more traction.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paulloft:
Agreed. It needs something posted here, or on Tom's page so that people find it when they have a problem.

BUT, given most people seem to dive in and post their problem without even reading a page or two back, how can we make them aware of your forum.

We can put a dozen messages around the place but would folk read them?

Maybe instead of answering the question fully here we should just put a link to where the solution is in your forum, to try and get people used to using it?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SecretAgentMan:
You're right. I guess I was thinking that the uninstall would zap those.

@Tom - You might consider dumping the contents of \Cache_DB during an uninstall, since remnant files in that folder seem to sometimes cause issues.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Titus_Andronicus:
I posted a note on Tom's blog asking him to make it "official". Then as a courtesy, used google translate to repeat the comment in Japanese. After I again used google translate to translate it back into English. The result was shockingly nonsensical.

I think if the forum link on his GCzII page was for my forum instead of this thread, it would fix the issue.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paulloft:
LOL You should have posted it :D

That would be good, this isn't a forum, it's a single thread and does not lend itself to questions and answers on different aspects of the software.

Your forum is a much better solution but underused.

We have the worst of both worlds at the moment, a little used useful forum and a much used less than useful thread.

If Tom would agree, then it would also be useful to lock this thread with a final post directing people to your forum as well as a similar note on post #1.

This software is so widely used now that it deserves a forum of its own as more new people start using it and, with the lack of a detailed user manual, needing help finding their way through all the great features.

Hope a solution can be found.

getting the list takes about 4 minutes....

then from the list i pick a cache, and that will be take about 2 minutes...

Edwin
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paulloft:
Are you talking about downloading a list of caches over the GSM network? By usiing the "Find nearest" or one of those searches?

If so, how many caches is your device set to download?

When you click on a cache to download the details it can take a while. I find it varies greatly depending on the quality of reception (3G, HSDPA, Edge). Sometimes it can be lightning quick, sometimes as you say, it can take a few minutes to get the initial list and another couple of minutes to get the cache details.

BUT, try it from a wifi connection and things get a whole lot quicker.

This suggests it might be more to do with the speed of the GSM network than the software.

To overcome this, I always start my day's caching with either a GPX file generated from a Pocket Query directly loaded into the phone from a laptop OR an initial list downloaded using wifi.

Most times this is all I need for the day.

I only resort to a GSM list download if I wander away from my planned area during the day. And then I download as few as possible into the list.

Some of the problem may also be down to the website and how busy it is. Logging a find can take anywhere from seconds to 2 or 3 minutes, there seems to be no logic to it.

I use an HD2 (1Ghz processor compared to 624Mhz of the Omnia), and yes it is still a little slow sometimes. But I'm sure it's to do with data download speeds not the software.

It will sort a list of 100 caches by 'nearest to,,,current location" in a couple of seconds, whereas my old TYTN11 would take minutes to do that. :)
