Looks like the Google Maps path is hard coded.

Could you make Gcz locate Google maps based on it's reg key?

Upon installation, the program path is defined in

HKLM\Software\Google\GoogleMaps\InstallPath

This is quite important, since I usually integrate Google Maps in different paths in my ROMs.

btw, do you use the windows-defined GPS polling or does Gcz set its own?

I've noticed a tremendous battery drain on the Diamond while using Gcz, unlike any other GPS software I've used.

Please try

GCz_20090522_1330_0032_007.cab

It tries to work both case of GC.com HTML.

the version 0.0.32 works but i would like the updates to the GPS Monitor, what can i do to help ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amniberlin:
Hi there, you need to change the COM Port in GPS Settings to COM4. This works for me (running Touch Diamond) ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xhozt:
as stated before this does not work here ;-( tryed it
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xhozt:
what does work for me right now is version2009-03-17	0.0.32	GCz_20090317_1630_0032.cab

but of course i would like the new gps mon and the other new stuff 2 ;-(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Gech:
What is you device name or model name?

How about Externel GPS settings?

my case

GPS program port : COM4

GPS hardware port : none/4800

Automatically Managed GPS: YES

then I set COM4/4800 into GCz GPS settings.

thanks

Hi Tom, I'm getting the "Access denied" error too :-(

try http://www.nicque.com/pqz/GCz.htm
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] paulpille:
Thx, but this is the 'renewed' old version (GCZ I) :)

The one that I mean is the latest version of GCZII.

EDIT: just recognized that both versions are GCZ I (GCz_20090522_1200_0032_006 & GCz_20090522_1330_0032_007)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Heh, main reason Geocaching.com was down? Microsoft patches. Surprise!

Tom,

Good job on the response time on these problems, hopefully it's not something you have to do very often. It's unfortunately a requirement based on the way the parsing works, but I would suspect GC doesn't change the output code that often. This is the second time I recall them 'breaking' third party clients. I used GeoScout a little last year and I recall them having to scramble to get it updated once, but otherwise pretty quiet.

GC.com was so screwed for a few days it would be somewhat hard to tell what was a GCz problem and what was a GC.com problem though. I dunno how many errors I've seen out of the page in the last few days.

Cheers!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] adwinp:
I've set it in here:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\NICQUE\GCz]

"REG_GOOGLE_MAP_PATH"="\\Windows\\GoogleMaps.exe"
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] medwyn:
In fact, they change the code quite often. Even though it can't be seen with naked eye, all parsers go absolutely mad about two times a year :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] medwyn:
Furthermore, we have no tree to bark up.

Its explicitely forbidden to use robots to gain data from Geocaching.com. So all these GCzs, Geotoads, GeoScouts are considered illegal (as far as i know).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xhozt:
they do want there 30$ a year , i would pay if they allowed this kind of acess PQ's are really a joke

back to my issue that is not related .

any one know what changed in the way gcz works with the gps after version.32? thats what i have narrowed it down to . something changed in the way it talks to the gps .. now all the new versions give me the com error ;-(

Hi Tom,

hope and pray that you are well! Just wanted to let you know that caching without GczII is no fun. There is absolutely no alternative in sight, I really hope you can help us.

We wish to express our gratitude for your quick correspondence.

Hereafter, I will keep using GCzii.

When such a wonderful GC application is lost, it is useless.

It assists all.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Yorkshiretaff:
Wow!!

Thanks so much Tom for the incredibly quick fix. Expensive paid apps don't get this level of support! :D:D

Really hope you are one of the 20 working on the API, GCzii is so much better than Groundspeaks own app. Dare I mention a version for Windows Phone 7? :)

Keep well Tom...

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SecretAgentMan:
Thank Yous

All,

I know it's important to be polite and thank Tom for all of his hard work.

However, posting individual thank you messages is really counter-productive. There are probably at least a thousand users of GCzII and in 2011 alone there have been 14 updates. I don't need to do the math here . . . I'm sure you get the idea.

My point is that it is difficult to get to the material relevant to the last upgrade, as there are already several pages of just thank you's. It's important to make information about GCzII easy to find.

The proper etiquette for thanking a poster in xda is to use the "Thanks" button on a post. Tom didn't post here for this upgrade, but you can just look back and find a recent post and "Thank you" there.

S.A.M.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] namhtc:
I've got the same connection problem. What I have done :

- upgrade to GCzII x.72 through AppToDate ... great :)

- delete content of /Cache_DB folder

- check on geocaching.com website that my language is still English

- re-enter my username and password in GCzII.

any other idea ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Titus_Andronicus:
This is kind of a dumb one, but I only ever get that error when I have no internet connection (in airplane mode etc.)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SecretAgentMan:
I've seen it as well when I have a very weak data connection.

Namhtc, how are you connecting to the Internet? Do other apps like your web browser work? Are you using the phone's native data connection? (I don't think you can connect via ActiveSync and get it to work.)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Titus_Andronicus:
I use GCzII with ActiveSync quite often. You just have to make sure that all your settings are correct.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] namhtc:
Thank's all for your answers. I made an other try this morning and everything is ok. Maybe the data connection on my mobile side was on error (despite I was able to use Google maps) or the geocaching.com web site was the source of my pb.

@Tom : your work is just amazing ... I will seriously consider a donation => Can someone provide me a direct link ? (none is present on the first page of this thread)

Best regards,
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Titus_Andronicus:
1) Geocaching.com has been going down occasionaly for hotfixes after the 04 May update. So maybe it was down when you were trying.

2) Tom has stated that he would like donations made to this website (xda-developers). So, just click here to go to the donation site. Just be carefull to follow the rules is you want to get that star under your name. If you screw it up, you will have to beg the site admin to fix it for you (like I did).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] luismigpt:
Thank you very much!!!!

Dear Tom.

I´ve already tested a lot of programs for Geocaching, your´s the best of all whith too much points ahead. You are a Genius. Thank You.

I´m from a little country called Portugal, usualy the programs dont have PT language, so, its usualy do the translation ourselfs.

I´ve done for my Artemis witch is QVGA.

I leave here, and I´m sure you do Your MAGIC.

Thanks Again.

Dont leave this amazing software die.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rbach:
Thanx anyway for your help, great support!!

I think it has maybe something to do with the mobile provider, because when being connected to the laptop or using WLAN (recently found out) it works with search by address but not by using GPRS although in general internet works and also maps.google.sg!

I even removed the program, the complete folder, I uninstalled the skin etc. but somehow I didn't succeed.

Strange things going on...

I upgrade to GCzII x.72, before new instal I unnistall old version and delete all GCzII folder from SD, check on geocaching.com website that my language is still English, re-enter my username and password in GCzII, try different conections from gprs to wifi, any other programs like opera working perfect trying reinnstal about five times but nothing

Hi Tom! Thank you for your support and your commitment! It is not self-evident that people inserting it UP! Greetings from Switzerland
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SecretAgentMan:
It seems like your login name and password aren't getting passed to the geocaching.com web site, although I know you tried logging in a number of times. Have you tried logging out of geocaching.com and then logging back in so that you're sure you have the right password?

Also, look in the \HTTP_Log folder of your GCzII installation. Look at the file 02_LoginResult.html . When you try to retrieve data with GCzII, it logs in via HTTP and writes a copy of what GCzII returns here. It's a cached copy of the login page from geocaching.com. Look at the date and time and make sure it's the last time you tried something with GCzII and got the error. (It should match when you last tried to retrieve data.) Then look at the contents of the page and see if there is something that clues you in as to what might have gone wrong with your login. Normally, near the top in green you'll see "You are logged in as XXXXXXX". If you're having login problems, you may see something different.

Hello everybody

thank for all your help (and for all the fishes ;-) you are providing to geocachers.

After installing the ńewest version there is a "cache not found" problem.

I got through everything in the instructions (english, cookies, passw, DB folder & uninstalling and repeated installing) for this type of fault, but none of this helped to resolve the problem.

Device HTC HD2 with Windows 6,5

any idea?

Have a nice day
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pleswi:
Hi, I have same problem as 4tatami. I was on FTF today morning and GcZII write cache not found but cache listing was downloaded in folder http_log in file cache_detail.html. Maybe error with parsing code ? GC.com was down yestrday evening maybe they changed something again :(

Have someone the same problem ?

Impossible de trouver la cache

Bonjour,

hier et ce matin je me retrouve avec le meme problème. J'ai installer la version 72 et j'ai effectuer tous ce qu'il fallait pour que cela fonctionne. J'ai bien recu la liste des cache que je voulais de ma région, avec meme la derniere mise en ligne, mais lorsque je veux ouvrir une cache j'ai le message IMPOSSIBLE DE TROUVER LA CACHE je pense que je ne suis pas le seul avec ce problème merci de m'indiquer la marche à suivre

Cache Not Found is back

Guys, I can confirm the "Cache Not Found" problem is back after yesterday's update at geocaching.com. I've had 0.2.35.72 working absolutely fine, but today, I can only get to cache list, but when I try to load cache details, I'm getting a "Cache Not Found", so definitely not a problem with my installation. I guess we just have to wait for another patch...

Off-topic: one of the changes I've noticed is that the click/pan/zoom map from the cache listings is gone at GC.com. There are just 2 statis maps now (static image). What a joke - do they really mean to make the site worse with each upgrade?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SecretAgentMan:
I agree that the Cache Not Found error has returned. Seems like it started about 12 hours ago or so. List retrieval is ok, but trying to load an individual cache page returns "Cache not found."
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ingo_fr:
I'm sad to say, but i can confirm this. The f*****g error is back. :(

Hope there will be another fine update soon!

@the programmer: You did a very good work! But it seems that Groundspeak will keep you still busy.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] enyon:
GPX inport - waypoints in description

Well it seem obvious new GC.com design make problems to load caches. With v.72 at least search works.

But I want to report problem with Waypoints.

I used GPX files to import caches, but the waypoints are loaded in Description not in Waypoints as it should be. Makes difficult to copy them to GPS monitor and use them. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jenda.69:
I released new version of my cachelist downloader.

I haven't tested it much but it should download cachelist and cache details (you must login to download details) to GCzII.

If you choose GCzII/cache_list dir (e.g. on memory card), it should download all required files to their correct directories... Otherwise it saves cache details to Cache_DB directory located in same directory as cachelist's XML file.

It is possible to set which things will be downloaded in settings. You can also define custom static maps, that will be downloaded for main cache coordinates. (but it's not possible to define custom maps for waypoints too :( ).

Here's my link:

http://geosheep.4fan.cz/en/GCzII-CL-Downloader/download/

I hope it will work. If any problems appear, check if your GC.com profile is set to english language first.

And sorry for little "OT". I don't think that I could post new topic because this is not for WM but for desktop Windows.

Cache not found - strange error

Let me say "Thank you, Tom, for another quick update" at first.

I´m getting the "Cache not found" error, when trying to open cache details, but when I look into <...\My Documents\GCZ\Http_log\09_CacheDetail.html> there is a correct cache detail page.

Isn´t it strange?

Some info:

Basic geocaching.com membership

Premium member on geocaching.com

GCZ 0.2.35.72 installed

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] docfred:
In my opinion that is not surprising.

There are two things:

1. The program sends a request to gc.com page and gets back a result page

2. Tom's parser has to interpret this page.

If the format of the page has changed this will result in a misinterpretation of the the .html-file. And even if the page ist in the Http_log folder (step 1) GCzII isn't able to generate its own .xml file (step2).

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] martinhe:
Gentlemen with GS again made ​​the change. "Cache Not Found" v.72 :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pleswi:
OK, we all have the same problem "Cache not found", the question is: Contacted someone Tom with a wish an update? It is possible that Tom does not know about the error. :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] martinhe:
Correctly downloads only events and Wherigo caches.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Titus_Andronicus:
I haven't even tried GCzII since this issue started. But here is my idea. If you can still search, you can send the cache list to google maps. Using that, you can find the cache. Then from the cache list, you can log the find (I think).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Psyberdude:
There are still many ways to use GCzII until it is fixes. You can import GPX files from PQs or generate the GPX files from GSAK and import that.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] docfred:
I don't think that GCzII will generate the necessary .kml file that is used to dispay the caches on google maps.

docfred
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Psyberdude:
Of course it does.

At the bottom of the menu on the cache list page, you can sent the entire list to Google Maps.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] docfred:
Yes, you're right. Only the cache download is affected and not the list generation.

docfred
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mmartin1977:
With current .72 error I use GCzII this way: Search caches, which is without problems... Then I export list to GPX and import list back, there is parsing OK. Result is - I have caches ready for searching, even I have no waypoints (no such big problem for me), no hint - I open web browser for hint and when I found, I log also from opened web page... I also miss amazing comfort of normally functional application, but this way still allows me to find caches in unknown location "online" without preparing at home...

Cache Not Found

I installed Ver.0.2.35.72.

It is not possible to use it now though it was possible to use for a while.

The display is "Cache Not Found. "

Does Geocaches.com annoy it to a free application?

I think like that.

Mr. tom, please update it. I hope.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Titus_Andronicus:
Try reading a page or two. The answer to your question will be revealed.

No, geocaching.com is not trying to screw the free apps. They just are doing buisness as usual. Web pages make updates. These things happen. geocachign.com is not trying to help the free webscraping apps, but they are not intentionaly breaking them.
