Windows Mobile application for Geocaching.

[funny fux]

load nearby caches (Windows-PC)
I have test this way...it works...
1.Open a map on Geocaching.com where you want to go caching.(Display 1-499 Caches) notice: 200 Caches are 109MB in cache-db folder...cachelist downloader is not very fast, test with 50 Caches.
2.Back to original maps (rtc)
3. Now you have a list with Cache-Name and GC-Code...
4. Copy all in the list and paste it in tools.devsmechtools&tool=23(sorry but I can not paste link???)
5.Save the generatet List as "txt"file and ...
6. import the list ("txt"file) in GCzII Cachelist-Downloader...
or...
Create Caches along a route and save as "loc"file and copy and paste all intools.devshed.23" tools.devshed.com/?option=com_mechtools&tool=23"
then step 5. and 6.
GCzII is offline alive, waiting for good news

(Dear all,

I'm happy to announce the birth of the unofficial Wiki about GCzII Downloader ... the GCzII Windows companion to bring GZcII alive again on our PDA, see : http://geosheep.wikinet.org .

GCzII Downloader solution is superior to standard GPX/PQ files import because it imports in GCzII also logs and images (spoiler, maps, gallery ...) .
Of course GCzII Downloader can not replace full GCzII functionnalities linked to internet connexion for "live geocaching" which remains broken (waiting for Tom's update).







Hello
It work only with Firefox?

GCzII downloader Updated

@funny fux :
Thanks for this tip, I will have a look if it works for free GC.com account.

...I'm happy to announce ... the GCzII Windows companion to bring GZcII alive again on our PDA, see : http://geosheep.wikinet.org .

The Wiki for GCzII Downloader is now official .
There is a new version of the tool which allows, on users requests, nearby cache download (based on Google map APIs).
Of course it works without Firefox !

Hi,
i'am testing these Pattern Extractor but when i copy the string (in the text are 76 Caches) in the description field and extract these text, i only get 67 Caches. When i tried a Text with 119 Codes i get only 109.
You get the same results?

greets Felix

The pattern has been updated, do you use /GC[A-Z0-9]{1,5}/ ? which extracts from the text all text starting with GC and followed by 1 to 5 caracters.

regards,

Thanks, your app is working well but:
Is there any way to setup app to not download found caches?

I added option to skip Found or Disabled in today's release. Unfortunatelly I don't own any caches, so I don't know how I can recognize and skip "my caches".

BTW na někoho s přezdívkou jakub.karasek si pamatuji ze SiemensManie, nejsi to ty?

I have attached a screenshot and the part of the sourcecode of a search result page. Caches I own have a star instead of a smily. The table bg color is something like yellow.

Hi All.

I like to show you my way (in bad englisch....sorry)

I start a search with the option that I like with GCZII. It works if you start the Mobile-IE and loggin at GC.com. and mark the "remember me" Button.
I save the Cachelist and open it with a Editor. Than I mark all and copy it to the pattern-extraktor and go on like the way in the Wiki.
It makes it possible to serach Caches without finds.

Hope it helps.
Scottiefilm

p.s.: The pattern-extraktor works even with the data from a *.gpx.

Thank you! But I found better solution.

There's checkbox to exclude found & owned caches while searching on GC.com. Application-side filtering is worse because it downloads 20 caches from every search page and removes found ones. If all of them are found, it displays nothing... Server-side filter displays 20 not found caches directly. I'll edit this and release small update tomorow.

Is there something new

 

[Andreha]

missing sort by "time"

Hi all,
today I just installed GCzII on my new HTC touch HD.
I installed the gesture version first and after that the file for german language support.
But unfortunately I don't have the feature of sorting by 30 seconds, 1 minute and so on...
In my opinion this was exactly the way I installed it several times before.
Did I do something wrong?

Andre

 

[Andreha]

solved: missing sort by "time"

just to let you know:
the problem could be resolved that way:

deleting GCzII by WM system
installing "normal" version
installing language-file
installing gesture version

Caching without preparation again!!!

Hi guys (are there any women here anyway?)

Sorry to spam again, but today I just can't hold to tell you of my newes experiences in trying to be able to do some "spontaneously" caching again.
- like we all used to do before "cache not found" bothered us.

I argued for GCzII a long time, but it's closed to half a year now that we all couldn't do much more than hoping that tom would be able to give some maintenance on that great application, - besides hoping that -as a human- he's well at all.

OK, today I took a look at http://www.getcachebox.net/ and especially at http://www.geoclub.de/viewtopic.php?f=114&t=59961&start=30

In short words:"Search for nearby GeoCaches" is possible again, - but with Cachebox.

I just wanted to tell immediately. These sides are basically in german, but at least http://www.getcachebox.net/ also has english parts.
For those who are interested, I'll prepare to do some screenshots and explanations next week.

I'll keep you informed
Andre

GCZII not working

Since GCzII is not working I found Gatecacher to work just fine and I may like it even better. I am using it on my HTC HD2 running windows 6.5 pro. My only complaint is the zoom buttons on the map screen are very small and the program doesn't support swipe zoom,

Hi there. I released GCzII Tool today!

It doesn't fix GCzII. But it contains simplified version of my GCzII Downloader, so you can download caches to GCzII on the field!
