The contents of my xml file is in the next post.

Here's a bit of history that may help:

I installed gczii and had a quick play with it. I haven't used it fully and haven't even done a search for any caches. I briefly looked at the GPS direction thing, but that's it.

I then installed GCzII-Tools to my storage card. I ran it, and it asked for some information that I didn't know the answer to. I guess I just accepted whatever default it gave.

From that point on, I get the DirectoryNotFoundException error.

I think GCzII-Tools assumes that certain directories within GCz exist, but I suspect those directories only get created after you've used GCz properly (like, you hunt for a cache or enter details about finding one, or keep a diary or log or something). If you havent done any of that yet, the directory doesn't get created.

That's just what I suspect, anyway!

I can confirm that \storage card\programfiles\gczii exists, and has the following directories:

Attributes

Cache_DB

HTTP_Log

Skin

Smiley

Trackable_DB

FieldNotes.txt

GzII.exe

gsgetfile.dll

gsgetfile_STD.dll

Within the Cache_DB directory, there are lots of subdirectories of caches (GC109TV, GC10GBZ, etc.)

Within the HTTP_Log directory, there are a set of files like

00_Geocoding.xml

01_LoginAuth.html etc.

Hope that helps. Running WM6.5 with Manila 2.5.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] schiefersoft:
@all

thank you guys for your help

workaraound:

please do the following (in next version is that problem fixed but now:)

goto GCzII and go into a GC-list (search nearby for example)

than add one ore more GC's to favorites or save to a cachelist

than you must have one more folder under GCzII: "Cache_List"

than try again start GCzII-Tools

please give me a feedback

for all how have an empty or wrong GCDBMainFolder field in settings.xml

please delete settings.xml and try again (also with doing workaraund before)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] schiefersoft:
thanks your help is great, (Folder Cache_List is miising :))

I'm getting a error running this on Samsung Omnia WM6.1.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] schiefersoft:
which version ? 1.5 is the current version

you have installed GCzII ??

have you store any caches with GCzII ??
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] schiefersoft:
hi dreamfalcon thank you for your feedback

i have build a new version (not in the Apptodate yet since untill you give me a feddback that its works)

please load them from here

GCzII-Tools_Setup.cab
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dreamfalcon:
Same error.

I have GCzII-Tools and GCzII installed in \Storage Card\Program Files.

And the caches folder in \My Storage\caches.

Maybe this help.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] schiefersoft:
OK thanks dreamfalcon

maybe ther are some problems with access rights to an any folders on your device

now step by step:

here a new release

please give me a feedback
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dreamfalcon:
I have to manually select the folder, but worked.

I have 2101 caches loaded, and after some time it gives a OutOfMemory error...

I think is better to delete some caches :)

When I click the GCZII button it gives an error, UnauthorizedAcessException.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] schiefersoft:
ok it was a similar problem now i have fix it (the same link)

can you please delete some GC's and try it again?

thank you for your patient
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dreamfalcon:
I will try tomorrow. I have to exit now.

Thx
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] shaggyguitarist:
I re-downladed the cab file of the updted version. Evedrything seems to be running now, although I find it hard knowing exactly whick track is which. I tried emailing tracks to myself and they work perfectly in google earth.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dreamfalcon:
I could delete, but I think is better to prevent this and limit the number of caches that can be loaded by the application.

Is possible to recover from a OutOfMemoryException with a Try Catch?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] schiefersoft:
thank you!

i wiull do the following:

- minimize the memory consumtion

- give o non crashing message when a out of memroy comes

- change the GUI so, that you not in every cas must read the hole GC's

i give an info when Version 1.6 ist out
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dreamfalcon:
Maybe this help:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] schiefersoft:
thank you dreamfalcon

please try the version 1.6

thanks

Your are using AppTodate???
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dreamfalcon:
Hi,

1 - GCzII is launching.

2 - Is gives the memory error.

3 - It appears some menus are missing!?

Many Thx
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] schiefersoft:
the (missing) menus are one level higher (or on windows before that)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dreamfalcon:
That's it, thx.

Now the option to load only the caches based in some criteria would be great, for example Cache list, coordinates, cache type, difficulty, etc...

Because now I have +2000 caches and can only work with the first 800.

Geo tagging photos

Can someone point me in the right direction....

I installed the latest versions of GCzII and tools this morning.

I'm using a Verizon Omnia i910 phone and everything else works fine.

I started GCzII and selected "logging start".

Then I walked around the house and took 2 pictures and selected "logging stop".

Then I started GCzII tools and selected "Geo tagging photos"

From there I selected "only geo tag the photos".

I selected the appropriate track, said "OK" and get the message "No photo(s) found, please check settings".

Selecting "Open geo photo folder" I can see the list of GPS logs (tracks).

From "main menu" I can select "open camera folder" and I can see all the photos.

Do I need to take the photos from GCzII tools? I have a hot button that starts the camera and that's what I use.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Rich
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] schiefersoft:
you are absolut right,

the geotagging works exactly like you describe

can you please send me your tracking file ?

ralf.schieferdecker@live.de

and write me the date / time from one ore more taken photo(s)

also i need to know your time zone,, because the GPS File is in GMT Time and your photo date time is in your local time

@rsheff

here my posting to tom, the maker of GCzII

Hi Tom,

in the new Version the $GPRMC contains no longer GPS Lat an Lon :(

$GPRMC - Recommended minimum specific GPS/Transit data

with $GPRMC - works my photo geotagging in GCzII-Tools

can you change that?

in version before, the GPRMC contains Coordinates

Smartphone Version (cab)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Psyberdude:
Thanks for this great little app. It makes a nice companion to GCzII.

I'd like to see a few extra options,

1. Ability to change the default message for email. Just about everyone I'm likely to email already has GE so now I have to delete the message each time. Same goes for the Subject.

2. An option (maybe just a checkbox) to include the track in the same KMZ file, if this is possible. There will be times I may want the person receiving the file, or indeed myself, to be able to see the track as well as the goetagged photos without having to send two separate files.

3. Ability to set the folder for KMZ/KML files to be saved in.

Thanks

...after my business trip...next week
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Psyberdude:
A curios thing happened. I went to do some caches in the nearby reserve which cimbined was a hike of about 3-4km one way. So I fired up GCzII logging at the start and off I went snapping some pics along the way. I then stopped the logging at the furthest point as I had no need to track the return journey along the same route. Once back at my stating point I snapped a few more pics.

When I geotagged the photos, I was supprised to see that it also tagged the four I had taken once I was back, but it has placed that at the same location as the last photo I took before I turned the logging off, some 3-4km away :confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] schiefersoft:
i am working on new version, in this version this problem solved...

see my PM to you
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] schiefersoft:
in the current version the GCzII-Tools takes all pictures taken 5 minutes before trackstart and 5 minutes behind tracking stop...

i will reduce this timespan to 20 seconds...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Psyberdude:
Ok, but that may not have been the cause as the last four photo's were taken two hours later :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] schiefersoft:
ok solved in the new version..you want to test them?

please send my an PM

Hello,

your tutorial for the GCzII-Tool is very helpfull. :)

Iam new by looking caches and I found this forum and hope to get some help.

Is there any tutorial for using GCzII?

I need help für using it. How its possible to get the cache-files from a database and load it into GCzII?

Which steps I have to do for finding a cache with GCzII?

Thankyou for information and help.

jbwell
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Psyberdude:
Unfortunately there is no turotial for GCzII that I'm aware of, however you will find lots of help in the forum. However, once you have done a few caches you will begin to find it is fairly intuative.

But to answer you questions in the meantime, there are basically two ways to list caches. First (and the method I use) is to use one fo the find options on the first screen, usually "Search for nearest cahces" is a good place to start. The second (although I've not actually used this method myself yet) is to import a gpx file. This can either be one you generate from GSAK, or a PQ from groundspeak. You can then go a bit further and download static maps for each cache for use later in finding caches. Personally I do this while my phone is connected to my home network so that it downloads via my DSL rather then my phones data package.

As for finding them, simply select the cache you are interested in and you will have all the information you need. You can read the description, logs and hint if needed. If your device has a built in GPS, click on the GPS monitor button and you will see a compass appear with a red dot which reprisents the cache. The red arrow shows direction to the cache and the blue arrow shows your heading. If you are a long way from the cache, it is often easier to start by viewing the location in a static map which will also show you all waypoints as well which you can cycle through.

Once you have found the cache, you can either just mark it as found for later logging when you get home or log it directly from your phone.

This is, admittedly a very brief instruction, but if you play around with it I'm sure you'll get the hang of it soon enough.

Happy Caching :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CouchPotato:
Any chance for deleting orphaned cache directories (not in any cache list) as i mentioned in GCzII-Thread? I don't think Tom will do it.

Will you do it?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] erbrouwer:
Coordinates

I have just installed GCZII and it looks great. However for geocaching I find it quite useful that when in the GPS compass mode (when you click on the satellites) you wil see the coordinates in degrees, minutes en seconds (e.g. N 52 14.555 E 4 22.666) instead of the current decimal degrees, Is this possible or is this already implemented and did I miss the option. Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CouchPotato:
NO! These (555) and (666) are not seconds! These are fractions of minutes! This is the standard notation for geocaches.

N 52° 14.555' read: N 52 degrees 14.555 minutes

equals N 52° 14' 33.3" e.g. N 52 degrees 14 minutes 33.3 seconds
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] del4:
New features involving FieldNotes.txt

Not sure if this app is still actively being developed or not, but thought of a couple things I'd like to see added that may be better here than in the main GCzII app:

-Ability to add a signature of sorts to the log entries stored in the FieldNotes.txt file. This would allow you to append a line or two of text to each Found log (and DNF logs, if desired), along the lines of "Team Zanzibar Found Your Cache!" or "XNSL - TFC #xxx" (even better if we could have some way of automatically entering overall find totals too)

-Ability to upload the FieldNotes.txt file to our geocaching.com account for making the actual log entries.

Can't download GCzII-Tools

I click the link in "or by using this link:SETUP_GCzII-Tools" and I also try the manual above that and Internet Explorer keeps telling me it "...can't display the webpage".

Is there an alternate location?

Or do I have to use AppToDate application?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bcwatson:
Rich,

I have the Omnia2. I installed this to "My Storage" and it just isn't taking. Borrowing from what you said, I changed the value in settings.xml to "My Storage\Program Files\GCzII", saved it and rerunning Tools still gives a problem of not finding the directory. Do you have a "My Storage" area on the original Omnia? I don't know how to proceed now...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bcwatson:
Never mind on my previous message. The above steps solved the problem!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rsheff:
That's odd. I do have both "My Storage" and "Storage card", (4 gig card), but just have everything (GCzII and Tools) both on the "storage card". At 1 time they were both on "My Storage" so they will work in either place. Does the 2 come with 6.1 or 6.5. I wonder if there is something in 6.5 that would cause the problem, but I can't believe referencing a location would have changed in 6.5

Checking my XML file, I have "Storage Card\Program Files\GCzII\GCzII.exe" AND " My Storage\Program Files\GCzII". Not sure why I have 2 entries but you might try putting "\GCzII.exe" at the end of yours and see what happens.

@Schiefersoft

Is here anything in the pipeline, or is this project dead?

I'm eagerly awaiting a tool that can delete all GCzII-Cachefolders, which are left behind and are in NO existing cache list anymore.

I have tons of them on my storage card.

Shure i could delete them all and rebuild new cache-lists. But that is not my intention and would also be not good for the servers (traffic).

Thank you for an answer
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] schiefersoft:
Hi CouchPotato

is that what you want:

i collect all Cache which in Cache list

then i compare this collection with all caches, all caches which are not in this collection, i will delete...

Hi,

did you see the question?

I had a collection of round 1500 Caches with over 1 GB and much of them were obsolet now. So i my opinion this is a very useful function.

Because i had no space anymore, i had to delete them all and start from scratch.

Not the very best solution, so it would be very nice if you would release a new version with this function.

Thank you

Hello,

i got a problem with GCzII(-Tools).

I installed GCzII yesterday and GCzII-Tools today to see the track i walked.

GCzII works fine, but i cant view tracks.

I start GCzII-Tools, click on Tracks and then on "View Track in Google Maps". the next window shows me the following sentence:

"Folder /speicherkarte/programme/gczii/GPS doesn't exist

I don't know if there comes more behind GPS, my screen isn't that big ;)

I have read this thread, but nothing works.

I hope someone can help me, thanks in advance.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Psyberdude:
Two things come to mind....

First, is GCzII installed at that location. If not then you'll need to go into "Menu > Settings > Set GCzII Folder" and tell GCzII-Tools where you have installed GCzII.

Second, did you create a track in GCzII? This is done by going to "Menu > GPS > Logging Start". Logging is usually off by default. If you didn't turn on logging, no only will you not have a track, it's possible that the GPS_Log folder has not been created yet as you only installed GCzII yesterday.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SandTor:
GCzII was/is installed

Logging was on stop. I turned on tracking (Menu > View) and thought that was enough. I will try to find some caches tomorrow and will give a feedback.

Thanks so far :):):)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Psyberdude:
Niether GCzII or Tools have a "Menu > View" so I'm not sure which one you are refering too, so just to clarify. In order to view tracks in Goole Earth, or for that matter send tracks or geotag photos, you must have Logging turned on in GCzII.

GCzII-Tools does not do any logging of it's own, it only uses the log files created by GCzII.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SandTor:
i load a cache and when i see the GPS Monitor Menu > View shows the Tracking Option.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Psyberdude:
Ah, ok. Thats not actually an option, its a view. You can switch between 3 views on the GPS monitor screen. The tracking does not actually refer to storing a track (called logging in GCzII) but rather the screen which shows range and direction to the cache.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SandTor:
i tried it today. i saved a track.

i closed GCzII, opened GCzII-Tools and clicked on Tracks. Opened "View Tracks in Foogle Maps". It showed me the time and the size of the file.

After the message "will transfer into KML....." it began to work, but after a few seconds it stopped.

Unexpected failure in GCzII-Tools.exe. Click on......

It shows me these details:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Psyberdude:
Sorry, I can't really be much help when it comes to that sort of thing. I've had no problems running it on WM 6.1.

It might be useful if you post the phone/pda and OS you are using so the developer can look into this.

I assume you have the latest versions of Tools, GCzII and Google maps installed?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SandTor:

hi there and thanks for the great app! One question tho, when i create a track and geotag photos the kml file shows where the pics are on GE perfectly but the actual photos dont show. In GE on the properties for the pic it shows it as in a IMAGES folder. If i manually change each one it shows, but i was wondering if it was possible to change it before the kml file was made. Or should the pics be showing and im doing something wrong lol, all seems to be working correctly tho???:confused: Just asking because if i send an email of the file the recipient wouldnt be able to see the pics then, just the location of it...

This is an unfortunate side effect of the GC updates and errors like this crop up every time there are code changes. We're hoping GCzII will get official access to the new API which will stop this.
