No, that's not a joke. When I build a PQ I get two options for the output - GPX or LOC. There is no html option there. What you are talking about is a manual conversion. What I am talking about is adding the option to the PQ as a replacement for the ebook output. Seeing as you're so smart, maybe you could program it instead of sniping at the rest of us who are making suggestions? And GPXSpinner is not platform neutral as you say - its a windows program. Very useful for mac users or those of us who download the PQ output directly to our PDAs from the email. That's a joke, right? HTML output for PQs has been available for several years now. For free. Platform-neutral, too. GPX Spinner does it, as does my own little utility, GPX2HTML. Mobipocket was a terrible, terrible program. Only reason Groundspeak used it is that it was the only platform-neutral ebook format out there at the time. We are well rid of it.

FYI PDF files on a PDA usually suck - the views available are terrible for reading on the move when there is a lot of data to plough through. A text or html file would be better. Surely with a little bit of thought GC.com can come up with an html output for the pocket queries? Anyway, apart from that I tried somebody's suggestion for the pocket pc, GPXview. It seems to work pretty well actually, so maybe people with ppc's should give that a go and then see if they need to complain further. On the up side, I can uninstall Mobipocket from my ppc now. I only ever used it for this and frankly it wasn't great! I'll have another look at cachemate, but I didn't like it the first time I looked. GPXSonar seemed pretty buggy, but I suppose I'll have a look at that too. For the actual navigation if you're using your ppc as a gpsr (I use an ipaq hw6915) I like Navio (http://www.tinystocks.com). It doesn't show much in the way of info, but it will run as a today plugin, and has a nice large compass and plenty of sat info. If you can work out how to get the scale right it will take a gif and use it as a map, which is nice (but I confess I haven't bothered working out the scaling!) I wasn't too pleased initially to see the back of the book, but you know what, the more I look at the other tools available to work with, the less I see the need for it. That said, I still think the html output from the PQs could be useful for people, and would be pretty universal....

I've resent it, sent it to Michael, also sent it to Michael as a PM on here. And before you suggest it, I have also checked that my mails are being received elsewhere.... I will send it again. Again...... I think you need to check your system. Mark.

If fact if you look at my initial post here, you might notice that I mention I received an email asking for the subscription id, and also that I replied. You wrote to Groundspeak on the 23. One of the support staff replied with a question on the same day at 11:48 am PDT. They have not received a reply to the email. Check your spam filters and your email account. You need to reply to the email to resolve this. Unfortunately it will have to wait until Tuesday when the office opens.

Yes, I did get that message. I replied within 2 hours. Perhaps you could try checking your spam filters too??? You wrote to Groundspeak on the 23.

Nah, its not automated. I did get the S- number from Paypal, but the geocaching web site just says that the subscription does not exist. The Paypal account contains funds, so no payment clearance is required. I've PM'd Michael, so hopefully he can help me.. ]\/[.

I'm sorry to put this up on the forum but since I've not have much luck with direct contact I thought maybe somebody here might take notice. I paid for a year premium subscription 10 days ago, and despite having a receipt from paypal I've not been able to activate the subscription. I mailed Groundspeak with the paypal receipt and got no response. I created a ticket in their support system and got a response saying they'd be happy to look into it if I provided the subscription id (which I did) then nothing. I've mailed again today in response to that request, but maybe if I post here somebody might take notice! At the risk of upsetting people, my experience of the customer service here has been less that satisfactory. I upgraded because I was going away for the weekend, but found that I couldn't access the premium features before I left. Now I have a bank holiday weekend to go out, but still no access to things like the Pocket Queries or routes.. c'mon Groundspeak, sort it out! PLEASE!
