also groundspeak does not like the way gcz gets its data , they want every one to pay for pocket querys and not allow direct field access , but that does not allow us winmobo users true paperless/wireless/device only cacheing like i want so for me GCZ ROCKS ;-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SecretAgentMan:
The ASUS P535 shipped with Windows Mobile 5. Did you load a custom ROM to get to WinMO 6.5?

Who is your carrier? Could they possibly have the GPS locked down like Verizon used to?

Not sure why you can't find Location Settings, unless you're really running WinMo 5. If you have a custom ROM you might have to look around for it.

Are you running Google Maps? Does the GPS work with that?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Andreha:
I often wodered what might be the best setting for GPS bluetooth connetion:

Currently I've choosen 9600 baud.

But for exampe if I travel by bike, I feel the GPS Monitor of GZCII shows the distance with delay: When i stop my bike closed to zero distance, the distance often runs on an i have to go back 15 meters.

Might that be related to the speed of bluetooth?

I guess 19.200 might be too much and only takes batterypower.

So what settings does the audience use?

Andre
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] james punnett:
thanx for sharing the features of the new app,,,,,,,, keep up the great work,,,,,
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Titus_Andronicus:
I suppose it depends on your bluetooth device. I usualy use 19200. Not sure why, but I just do. I don't think that the baud rate is what is creating that lag. It is more likely the processing time in the bluetooth device, or in your phone. Or maybe the frequency of updates. My bluetooth device has a 1Hz mode and a 5Hz mode. Q-Starz also makes one with a 10Hz mode.

Edit to ask: Has anyone been able to get WM to use the bluetooth GPS as the automaticaly managed GPS? Some apps don't like using com ports, so having WM automaticaly manage the bluetooth port is needed. I ended up haveting to do a registry hack to get mine to work....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Titus_Andronicus:
I do not know of a way. However, if you hook your phone up to your computer using ActivSync (or however you need to for your PCs OS), then with the correct settings, your phone will be able to access internet via the PC. I think your intent was to not use your cell phone plan to download the maps, so this will work. This is how I do it now that my WM6.5 phone is not activated on a cell network.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Titus_Andronicus:
Sounds to me like you may have to do a registry hack. Either do some googling for that, or maybe I could help you out via PM using my phone as a templet.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jake Bullit:
Download and run GPS test from here:

http://www.chartcross.co.uk/products/WM00002_details.asp

That should tell you the port and baud rate you need to enter in GCZ settings.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] obstgarten:
Hi,

thanks for the answer this is an alternative that I haven´t tried yet.

Have you the GCz Tool? In this tool you can show caches from the cachelist with the map in the Background and you can also Filter your Caches by "Found" "Not Found" ... .

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] docfred:
Hi Zaliens,

the option you've requested already exists.

You can generate (I think about) 10 new waypoints.

For example: You can write the final coords in the personal cache note of a cache.

The you can download the cache.

In the cache description the personal cache note is included.

You can copy the Coords to the clipboard.

Then you can generate a new waypoint from the clipboard.

You can also create a new blank waypoint.

You will find these functions in menu - waypoints

docfred
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Titus_Andronicus:
Wow, this forum has been quiet for a while. I guess that means GCzII is running smoothly? Anyway, so you hear about c:Geo? Wow.... I for one am getting impatient waiting for this semi-public API to go live. Once it does, GCzII and other apps, and new ones, should become super fast and feature rich! Develpers will be able to focus on features etc. rather than on keeping up with site changes.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paulloft:
I haven't heard about C:Geo - must investigate.

In fact I am rubbish at keeping up to date with stuff, for example...

When I run a sort on a list (distance from current location), there is a load of options called "10 seconds" "20 seconds" etc.

Of course I know what this is all about, but just testing to see if anyone else knows?

<ahem> :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Titus_Andronicus:
the c:geo developer just commited geocide. So tomorrows site update will likely be the end of c:geo.

As for the 10s etc. I don't usualy use that as my HTC Touch vouge does not have enough horse power to sort in any kind of reasonable time. Short lists, I don't really need resorted, and long ones take too long.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SecretAgentMan:
Paul,

Look HERE for the c:geo post.

To answer your question re the 10 seconds, 20 seconds, etc, i THINK that this is a refresh interval. I recall someone wanting to sort on the fly as they were driving around. I THINK the timer forces a resort on the selected interval. How'd I do? :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paulloft:
Crumbs, sounds serious.

No prize for you then :D

I find it handy to sort the list when I'm doing a series with long names and you can't immediately see which is which from the simple list. A quick sort by distance usually gets the one you're heading to next on top.

The HD2 does a pretty good job of sorting even long lists quite quickly.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paulloft:
Thanks for the link, I will go and read what it's all about.

Ah, I see, that's clever.

I mean, <ahem>, well done SecretAgentMan, you are today's winner.

(Once I have checked out that you are right ;) )
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] docfred:
It is like secret agent man said! This option will resort a list by distance to current position.

I use this option when driving by car. If you use a gpx-file "cache on the route" you can automatically see the next cache.

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

A comment on c:geo and gczII:

I think the difference between this two programs (both potentially violating the TOS) is, that groundspeak has an application for android (c:geo runs on android). c:geo is free an groundspeak wants to sell their own app. This is moe difficult for groundspeak if c:geo is the better app.

For windows mobile (lower than wm7) there is no official product sold by groundspeak. I think this is the reason why they tolerate GCzII.

I'm annoyed about the behaviour of groundspeak. GC only sells a platform to exchange cache defintions which don't belong to them. As a PM I pay a fee every year. That should be enough for GC.

It's okay that you can buy a software for geocaching on mobile apps. It is not o.k. that you have to use this apps instead of others that a potentially better.

docfred
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nebias:
That's why I cancelled my Membership.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Titus_Andronicus:
c:geo also does live scraping. It is similar to the 10 second, 20 second thing, but instead of just re-sorting the cache list, it actualy does a new search on the web site. Quite convinient for cachers, but can create a large increase in traffic for the web site.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Titus_Andronicus:
When you download too many static maps, google starts to give you blank files. is there a way to re-download the cache list the next day so that you will copy over the blank files, but not the correct files?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pleswi:
oh no :( Cache not found ! after gc.com maintance :( I hope, Tom will make update quickly.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mhuska:
Cache Not Found

Ugh! "Cache not Found" is back again after the GC update. Never fails that it is right before I want to go caching too. My cache page will load an unloaded cache but the search from GPS is not working so pre-loading my caches are going to be of little help this time.

Hope Tom can fix it soon - Thanks Tom!

As usual, a PM and PQs will always work in a jam.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] immutability:
I'm a PM but I use GCzII mainly when I get a chance to geocache unprepared - to find the caches for my current location, with no PC access, etc. If I go somewhere, where I know I will have time for geocaching, I preload the caches into my Garmin at home.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Titus_Andronicus:
So I just tried to re-load a cache, and it worked. Also, I can load trackables. havn't tried submitting a log... So it would appear that the issue is the actual search function only.

probleme avec la version 75 en France

Bonjour, avec la version 75 en France il teouve les listes que l'on recherche mais ne peu pas ouvrir la cache individuellement, message: impossible de trouver la cache

Y a t'il d'autres francais dans le meme cas?

Davy

Hi, with version 75 in France it teouve lists we are looking for but do not just open the cache individually message: Can not find the cache

Are there other french in the same case?

Davy
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] immutability:
Thanks! Just testing it, and seems to be working again. One strange thing I see now is that it only returns a few caches when I search by town name. Previously it always returned the first 20 caches, sorted by distance. Now, for my how town, it only returns 3 of them (and a note "page 1 / 117"). When I do a search for a nearby town, I get a list of 7 caches.

It appears to me somehow, that the list only includes caches I haven't found yet. Could that be? Now I've tried a location I haven't visited yet, and a full list of 20 caches appeared.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Gech:
>> that the list only includes caches I haven't found yet.

You might change the GCzII option.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] immutability:
Tom, thank you for a fast response. The option to "Exclude your owned or found items" is unchecked as it has always been (I didn't even know it existed - cool feature for the future!). But this is not the cause of my issue. I guess if it was checked, it would filter out the ones that I found, but still return 20 caches on the first page of the list, and not only 3?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Gech:
let me keywords which you input to search caches.

thanks

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] davy33:

I just did the test in french and in English I did a search by region in France, I found the list but when I ask to open up a cache he said, could not find the cache. I also tested with a search near me he lists but do not open the cache

Davy
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] immutability:
Try doing a search for "dolny kubin". It should give you a location "Dolný Kubín, 02601, Slovakia". When you click that, you'll probably get 20 caches. But I only get 3 caches and "Page 1 / 117" - exactly the ones that I already found are missing from the list. I'm a PM now.

watch listing

Hi

For me version .75 finds only caches that I do not have in my WATCH LISTING list in geocaching.com. There was same bug a long time ago.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fama1:
Hi Tom.

I can confirm, that the WATCH LISTs casches is not in list and the count of caches is smaller. I have one cachce in WATCHLIST. And than if i look for 20 cache the GCz find me only 19 caches.

I think that the problem, which have "immutability".

Problems

First of all: I have the .76 version from 2011.07.01

Second: I'm new to this

Problem: My Touch HD (WM 6.1 Original ROM O2 Germany) doesnt work well with gcz2.

The only thing what works from time to time ist searching by postal code or cityname (1 of 9).

All other option (GQ Number, Search by location, ...) dont work. gczII is opening the internet connection an the "windows ball" is turning. After a while nothing happens, internet connection closes and the software is frozen up.

Only a restart of the phone helps.

Can it happen because of the slow "EDGE" internet connection?

Sorry for my bad english...

Thanks for help!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gazza-qld:
Hi. I am using the latest 0.76 Version and have noticed this issue ever since I started using this great piece of software (at least a year). When using the Field Notes function, the date and time added to the entry is not the system time. Instead it uses some other time zone. For instance, if we go caching on the 2/7/11 about half of the entries will be dated the 2/7/11 and then the other half will be 3/7/11. Is there any way this great function can be changed to use the phones system time?

Cheers Tom :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SecretAgentMan:
Where are you seeing the erroneous entry? I.e. When you first go to add the note . . . Looking at the field notes with a text editor . . . After uploading to the geocaching.com site???

When you say some are 2/7 and some are 3/7, is that Feb 7 and Mar, 7 or is it July 2 and 3?

Are the caches later in the day the later date?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SecretAgentMan:
It might be due to a slow connection. I have seen that happen once or twice when I have had a very marginal connection, which equates to slow.

Have you tried connecting by WiFi to see how it performs?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gazza-qld:
OK so the error doesn't actually lie with GCzII, but is a 'feature' of geocaching.com

When we upload the FieldNotes file to the website, it automatically adds the number of hours on of our timezone. Ie. In Australia, it adds +10 hours on to the time recorded by GCzII. This can easily be avoided by changing the geocaching.com timezone to GMT (0.00).

This is a silly feature of geocaching.com and would love to know why, but for now, the issue has been fixed :)

Thanks SecretAgentMan and Tom :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sibsn2000:
I havent WiFi available right now, but I tried it via ActiveSync, and it worked fine.

Is there any possibility, to get this great software working with a slow connection?

Tanks for answering!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SecretAgentMan:
The only thing I can think of is try it when you have a STRONGER connection. There must be others on this forum using Edge. Maybe someone will comment.

The first one (Zbraslavice-vychazka) has CacheID: GC1AX1W

Currently I'm using version 0.2.35.76 on windows mobile 6.5.

In gczii there is no problem neither with CacheID nor coordinates, I can see them properly.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SecretAgentMan:
This is just a guess, but are you a Premium member? There are some differences between the coordinate data in lists that a regular and Premium member can retrieve.

While it should technically be all or nothing, perhaps some of the coordinates were cached after you viewed the cache with GCzII. I'd test this by completely clearing GCzII data (i.e. delete everything in \Cache_DB and \Cache_List. Generate a new list of caches you've never viewed and see if you have any coordinate data at all in the new list.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scottiefilm:
Hi.

Do you have use the "load from cache detail" (hope it is correct) befor you expot the List? I´ve got the same Problem when I export a poi-list, but everything works fine after use these funktion.

Hope it helps and sorry for my english.....

scottiefilm
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SecretAgentMan:
Yep, that might do it if you are not a PM. Generate the list, and then from the list menu run "Reload from Cache Detail". Then do the export.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Gech:
Before do export, need to make sure the caches include correct location info.

When you see cache list, each caches indicate folder icon (Yellow/Gray) if it contains cache detail info.

If not see folder icon, it does not export location info. (because Lat/Lon empty)

Download all Caches or download each cache.

then export the list.

delete Caches in a List

Hi,

can i delete more than one cahce at once?

My Problem i have 10 Lists. These Lists i fitted together in one List.

But now i have some caches are doubled. I sorted them at Cache Codes and now I delete the duplicate caches one by one.

Have anybody an Idea how i can delete easier.

regards

Felix
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Bonuxs:
With the Internet and language settings, everything is fine.

I thought of another idea - WM6.2.

Old phone, but a good GPS.

Through IExplorer entering GC page from phone, it discards:

" .. there is a problem with the security certificate.. "

:(

Maybe anything in this related?..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Gech:
How about Proxy settings in your device?

Attach log files under HTTP_Log folder.

thanks

tom
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Titus_Andronicus:
You could open the .xml file on your pc, and maualy delete the double caches. Other than that, it is one at a time as far as I know.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Bonuxs:
I found a solution to problem:

After the last geocaching tour, phone battery was completely over.

Date was incorrect and, therefore, authorization yards on the wrong certificate.

After correcting the date, the problem disappeared !

Thanks for the help
