Hay Tom,

I use now version .47 with the new .exe (.48) and I have found some issues. There issues are not blocking for working with GCzII!! I can fully work with it..:-) I don't know if these issues are known or new to you but here we go (I use Windows Mobile 6.1):

1) Start GCzII -> choose option 2/9 (search a cache by it's GC-code) -> enter a GC-code -> hit 'go' -> you now get a long list of caches with the cache you were searching for at the first place. Is that how it's suppose to work? Not just one cache after this search?

2) Start GCzII -> choose option 9/9 (search by trackable item name) -> the 'go' button is grey (not clickable). Is this a function not working yet?

3) Start GCzII -> search for caches -> select a cache -> hit the button 'Discription' -> when I scroll there with my finger on the touchscreen it scrolls VERY fast up and down (to fast to read everything, I can't scroll a little bit)! When I use the scrollbar at the right side of the screen I can scroll normally. Is this a known issue?

4) Start GCzII -> search for caches -> select a cache -> hit the 'cache logs' button -> at the bottum of the screen on the left side is a button 'back'. On the bottum right side it says something weird. Like 'F63/D0' (at cache GC23VKN), or 'F220/D1' (at cache GC21ZY1). I can hit it like a butoon but nothing happens. It says something else at every other cache.

And this is something for the wish-list..:-)

5) Start GCzII -> search for caches -> now you have a list of caches. I would like to see in this list if a cache has a TB or TC in it. Is that something you have thought of too maybe? Now you have to open the cache first and look if the button 'inventory' is clickable..:-)

And here I have two questions:

6) Start GCzII -> search for caches -> now you have a list of caches. What is the meaning of the little red arrow with the compas-bearing next to it? What means for instance 'West'. West from/to what that is?

7) Start GCzII -> search for caches -> now you have a list of caches. Some caches have a yellow folder with a little green '+' on it. What does that stand for? Does it have something the other caches dont have?

So, this is a rather big reply from me..:-) I hope it is usefull to you!!

I'm a huge fan of this tool and I hope it will only gets better and better..:):D

Greetings from the Netherlands,

Screen Size Unknown 320X240

Thank you very much for your precious help.

Hi Oesti, take a look at this link...LINK (german)

or Here (english)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paulloft:
This is how it has always worked. It shows the cache you searched for plus the nearest.

Not noticed that before, one for Tom to address

Doesn't scroll with finger at all in 6.5, so can't help with that one

This is a summary of the logs you have loaded. F=Found D=Did Not Find

So F63/D0 means of the logs you have loaded for that cache, there are 63 found logs and zero DNF logs.

Clicking this information is not meant to do anything it just summarises the log contents.

One for Tom.

It's showing the distance and direction FROM your current location TO the cache

If the folder is yellow it means full data for that cache exists within GCz (i.e it has been downloaded from the website) and is current (ish).

After some days since download (I think it is 7) the folder turns from yellow to grey to indicate that the cache details are no longer very up to date and you should download the cache again.

Hope that helps with a few of your questions.

Others may be able to help with the ones I have missed or expand on my replies.

Cheers

Hay Paulloft,

Thanks for your VERY quick respons!!

Your answers helped me a lot..:-)

Cheers to you too!

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _Rayman_:
This is great!! I used GCzII for a long time now but didn't find this. This helps really!

The ultimate solution would be if GCzII could directly upload the field notes to the GC website :o

Btw: I think the best way to upload field notes directly from the mobile phone to the GC website is to create a bookmark to the GC field notes upload site in the mobile phone's web browser and upload it from there.

Thanx!

Hello,

Just wanted to say "Thank You" I'm new to Geocaching and thought that it was all my fault. The tips worked brilliantly.

Many Thanks.:D

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ian_rufford:
can't open caches

Hi,

I've downloaded v0.2.35.48 and got it to run but when i click on a cache it does nothing apart from hi-light it.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Using HTC Touch HD.

Ian.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paulloft:
I guess we've all missed the obvious from time to time.

At least there isn't wave upon wave of folk asking the same question this time round. So we'll excuse Cernunnos. This time :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paulloft:
OK, that's a completely new one I think. Don't think I have ever seen that reported here before.

Just to be sure what's happening:

You already had version .47 (or earlier) installed.

You then downloaded Tom's zip file and extracted the exe file

You copied the exe file over the older version

You emptied your Cache_DB folder

You launched GCzII

All checked so far? Excellent. Right, what's next...ah yes..

When you open GCz and get the main screen (with the left right arrows to select the search criteria) does the version number in the bottom left menu bar confirm you have version 0.2.35.48 installed?

If so then we need some more info I think:

How are you getting your list of caches? Is it by GPX file loaded onto the phone or are you using GCz to do a search.

If using GCz to do a search to get your cache list, which option are you using? (Search nearest, by cache code etc etc)

When you have your list of caches, do they have a yellow folder symbol beside them? (Need to establish if you have a fully downloaded cache or just a list.

Finally, when you click on a cache are you sure absolutely nothing is happening? No spinning colours or egg timer or anything to indicate your phone is having a think?

Cache details can take up to 2 minutes to come up if all the cache details are not downloaded yet and you are using a slow GSM connection.

Get back to us and we'll try and help some more.

As I say I have never seen it happen before so it could be you have a corrupted installation. We'll see.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paulloft:
Caching in the rain with an HD2

Anyone ever used an HD2 to cache? In the rain? It's quite entertaining but utterly impossible.

Due to the sensitivity of the capacitive touchscreen, even a tiny drop of water landing on the screen will 'press' a button.

It's like watching your phone go into meltdown.

In short, if you are going caching with an HD2 and it's raining, use protection :eek:

Edit: Sorry, that's completely off topic, not related to GCz at all. Don't know why I posted it here. Sorry

Cache not found error

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] micbo:
cache not found

Since 1 hour version *.48 doesn´t work for me with Touch hd. Same error ( cache not found) as in version *.47. I haven´t change anything. Anyone with same error?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ok1kok:
I try to use 48 version on Samsung Omnia II, but without success. I replaced the existing GCzII.exe file (v. 47), emptyied the contents of the Cache_DB folder.

In the bottom left menu is 48.

I have still the same error "CACHE NOT FOUND" :(

GCzII is with Czech Language Pack.

ok1kok
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paulloft:
What is your language set to on the gc.com website?

It has to be set to English.

If it is not set to English you will still get the 'cache not found' error.

Is that the problem?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paulloft:
Can you confirm you have deleted the contents of your cache_DB folder?

And that your language setting on the gc.com website is set to English?

And finally that you are not testing on one of your own caches or one you have found already and you are excluding these from being found in your GCz search settings?

If none of that works, post the GC code of a cache that is giving you the error.

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ok1kok:
I'm afraid not.

On website I had English. I tried to change to Czech, after that back to English and every time GCz wrote 'cache not found' (in Czech: "Chache nenalezen")

Ver. 47 ran without problems before changing on gc.com.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] micbo:
problem is solved

:) you solved my probelm, i didn´t erase the cache folder. Thanks a lot for quick answer and solution
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paulloft:
Hmmm. Don't know what else to suggest.

If you have done everything outlined in my post to micbo (above) then you have done everything that normally clears this fault.

There are now no other reports of the 'cache not found' problem using version .48 (micbo is solved), and given the number of users I would have expected lots of reports if there was a general problem. So there must be something wrong with your set up somewhere.

All I can suggest is that you uninstall what's on your phone, then reinstall version .47 from Tom's website.

Before opening it, delete the GCzII.exe file and replace it with the .48 version from Tom's post.

Unless anyone else can suggest anything else to try ??
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paulloft:
No problem, glad I could help.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ok1kok:
Heureka !

I had to also empty Chace_list folder ! :cool:

Now v48 is ok !!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paulloft:
Odd. Can't think why your Cache_list folder would have been causing a problem, it only holds the lists of previously downloaded caches and should not interfere with searches.

Or were you bringing up one of your previously saved lists before downloading cache details?

Oh well, glad you are up and running.

That just leaves ian_rufford with his problem I think.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nevim999:
Hi, first I want to give a lot of thanks for developer of this software :):):) Til now, I didn't now much about developing of this soft...but for some days I have the *** problem - "cache not found" and the site nicque.com hadn't any solution...than I tried to find it in this forum...and now I have the solution (version .48).

I read the bugs of this version.

I tried to do, what says bug #4 (next caches) and it works. I have the correct list of 40 different caches. And such surprise, I see the correct red tick at caches, I found - bug #3 is false too...

I can't understand... :eek: :confused: is my post wrong?? or I have something different??

I have the HTC P3300 with WM5 and GCzII + skin CZ
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
http://www.aquapac.net/usstore/waterproof-phone-and-gps-cases-592-0.html

Or if you want waterproof + drop resistant, Otterbox.

I almost always put the phone in my aquapac when I go caching if it's near water. And no, it doesn't affect the capacitive input.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paulloft:
Bug update

Can anyone confirm or deny the reported bugs on the basis of Nevim999's comments:

What I think happens here is that when you click on 'Page 2' the next list of caches are loaded but are tagged on to the end of the page 1 caches, giving you a double length list.

Therefore the cache at the top of the list remains the same giving the illusion that the list has not changed or moved to page 2. In fact page 2 is appended to the bottom of page 1.

I'm not sure if this is how it has always worked, I suspect it might be.

Can someone confirm my theory?

I get a blue tick showing on the actual log immediately before posting the log (after the field note is prepared). The blue tick remains on the LOG (field note) once it has been posted, when it should change to a red tick.

But there is no BLUE tick on the cache page or cache list view after it has been marked.

I also have NO RED TICKS showing either on the log when the log has actually been posted, or on the cache description page or list view after logging.

If the cache is reloaded the red tick will show.

But I am sure it used to show immediately after a log had been posted.

If I download a new list of caches that include caches I have found, then the red tick is showing on the found caches.

Not really sure what's going on here, could do with some additional 'real life' testing.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paulloft:
Ok, so they allow your fingers to operate the screen but not droplets of water? Cool.

Always thought a cover wouldn't work with capacitive screens -mine won't work if I have a glove on.

So that's interesting, cheers.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nevim999:
I'm sure that

had worked since I had first download this soft...

And the bug isn't bug, but mistake :), as you wrote:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] LeFrog2:
BUG: Search for trackable names?

Hello Folks,

I have a problem with one of the search options on the main screen of GCzII. I cant search for trackable names because the "GO" button is grey/deactivated. I also cant change the cache types on the left of the "GO" button, it is grey too.

I use the V0.2.35.47 with the latest V0.2.35.48 update with german language in GCzII and english language on Geocaching.com. I deleted the whole Cache-DB on my HTC TouchCruise.

All other search options, including the search for tracking numbers, are running very well and without any problems.

Furthermore, I have to say that the search option for trackable names never worked since I have installed GCzII for the first time on my HTC and with V0.2.35.45.

Is this a well-known bug?

Regards from Kiel/Germany,

Marco

Thank you and sorry,

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paulloft:
No problem Marco :) "More haste, less speed"

I'm not sure if this function has worked before. I am sure I have used it in the past, but you say it has not worked since .45

I'm happy to believe you as it is not a feature I use often.

But I am sure Tom can get it sorted.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] LeFrog2:
Hey Paul,

Tom is doing a great job/work!

I never could use the search for trackables names option. The .45 was the first I tried on the HTC. Is there a chance to donate for Tom?

Tom has always said he does not want donations personally but would prefer people to donate to XDA Developers to support the community.

Cache Not Found error

Post moved forward...to here
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] charonsk:
Right. Now it works fine. It was probably problem with connection (I used stupid proxy) and I did not have time to try different.

One maybe stupid question: Is it possible to set up option to download images in listings automatically? Images are automatically downloaded only when I use "Reload cache" with "Skip downloaded Images" unchecked.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paulloft:
Thanks confirming this is ok, I will remove it from the bug list now.

Hmmm, can't help with that one. I know there is a discussion on the dedicated GCz forum relating to image downloads and there were some problems based on how the CO had embedded the pictures in the cache page.

Maybe someone else can help with this one, as I tend not to use (or want) pictures to download into GCz. The only helpful one is usually a spoiler (as a last resort) and I have always found a way to get to that whenever I have needed it.

Problem with images is some COs plaster their cache page with them, which is nice when viewing on the laptop but quite data intensive (and hence time consuming) when trying to download the cache page in the field.

So I'm quite happy that they don't always come through :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] charonsk:
To images: Thanks for quick answer. I think it should be just the option (not default). And I agree that many listings are overloaded with useles images.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] clarer1:
Thanks for the update.

I'm having trouble installing it on my HTC Touch Pro 2. I downloaded the zip file for Windows Mobile Pro, unzipped it and copied the .exe file to programs folder on my phone. When I try to run this to install the program, I get an error message

File open failed. [/Program Files\CGzII\Skin\COMMON\800X480.txt]

Then

Unknown screen size [800x480]

Do you know what is happening and how I can resolve it or do I need to wait for the full update?

Thank you.

Red and Blue Ticks

Okay, stopped off and did a cache tonight on my way out for the evening and logged it using GCz.

The blue tick and red tick showed fine, on the logs and, once logged, on the cache page and the cache when shown in the list view.

When I was testing earlier today I was posting a found it log to one of my own caches and things didn't seem to be working.

But tonight the ticks were all there as they should be.

Can we have some feedback on the tick issue please so we can let Tom know if there is or isn't a problem.

Thanks everyone :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paulloft:
This issue did come up in the dedicated GCz forum, but related to a 320x240 resolution. The error message was the same (except the resolution bit).

It was confirmed in that thread that your resolution should work 'out of the box' and the suggestion was that the installation was corrupt and a reinstall should fix things. There was no confirmation that a reinstall worked, but there were no further problems reported either.

I would try a reinstallation.

To do this, install version .47 by downloading it from Tom's website. It will uninstall your current version and put .47 in it's place.

Don't launch the program at this stage.

Go straight to your program files/GCzII folder and delete the GCzII.exe file.

Then copy into that folder Tom's latest .48 exe file.

Then try running the program again.

The other suggestion is to try installing the software onto your phone memory instead of the memory card, so it may be worth doing that. I have mine installed on the phone and it works fine.

Let us know how you get on so we know if this solution works.

Thanks

PS You did have an older verison installed first didn't you???

You didn't just try to install the GCzII.exe file on it's own did you??

If you did then it won't work. You have to install a full version (cab file) first and then replace the exe file, as the exe file is not the full program in itself.

How to Solve Most GCz Crash Issues

There are several things that seem to cause GCz to crash. The typical complaint is that GCz crashes when viewing a description, sometimes causing the application to close or return a cache not found error.

There are several fixes that typically resolve the problem:

Uninstall and re-install the current version. At the time of this post, the current version is 0.2.35.48. You will need to first load .47 (you will find it HERE) and then load the executable for .48 from here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7513236&postcount=3809 . Just unzip the executable and copy it over the existing .exe on your phone. You'll find the version you have installed by looking at the main screen in the lower left corner.

Find the \Cache_DB folder and delete everything in it. Don't delete the folder, just the stuff inside it. These are older, "cached" entries that can cause crashes.

Make sure that your language setting on Geocaching.com is set to "English".

Review recent posts on THIS FORUM to see if you can find a fix. (http://gczii.newstarforum.com/)

How to Keep from Getting FLAMED when posting about GCz Crash Issues

There are a number of people here willing to help you. But to be honest, we seem to answer the same questions over and over again. We'll be glad to help you, but you need to do your part first. Here's what we suggest:

Read the last 5 pages of posts and try the things that have been suggested. Most of the time, the solution has been posted recently. If you don't want to take the time to read the last few pages, why should we take the time to restate, again, what we just posted not too long ago?

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

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

Confirm that on Geocaching.com, your language is set to "English".

If you've worked your way through the above and are still having an issue, post using the guidelines above, and we'll be glad to give you a hand. :)
