I've now upgraded to WM6 so that I can stop the Hermes managing the BTGPS automatically. Now nothing will communicate with the BTGPS, not even beeline Tried the settings recommended in another thread, no luck. Here are the settings I'm using on my Hermes / 8525: GPS program port: COM7 GPS hardware port: COM0 Baud rate: 115200 Manage GPS automatically: disabled for Wherigo, enabled for Google Maps

Maybe I was unclear in my original message. My question is not about the format of the coordinates, but rather which map datum the coordinates should be expressed in. For example, at one particular location the coordinates according to the NAD27 datum are 48.7440490722656, -122.466903686523 while the coordinates according to the WGS84 datum are 48.7438798534299, -122.46818353793. Maybe you understood my original question and were telling me to use the datum used for geocache coordinates on geocaching.com. I think that is WGS84, but I was hoping someone could confirm my guess. Thanks!

I couldn't care less whether someone wants to play my cartridge via the emulator. I think it would be boring to do so, but if someone thinks that's fun, more power to them. I want to test the altitude as part of the logic of the game itself. I want to make certain items visible only when the user is above a certain altitude. But I can't figure out how to do this using the Player.ObjectLocation.altitude:GetValue("m") functionality. If I try to include this expression in an if statement, the Builder can't parse it. Is this something that can only be done outside the builder? Or is there a way to do it that will still let me work on my cartridge with the builder?

With one of the zones in a cartridge I'm building I can't tell where I want the corners to be by looking at the Google Maps satellite pictures in the Builder. The resolution isn't high enough to pick out the features I want to use to mark the corners, and some of them are obscured by trees. So I'm planning to physically visit the site and determine the coordinates of these spots with my GPS. Then I can come back home and enter the coordinates into the Builder. My question is which datum should my GPS be set to when I get the coordinates of these spots. Does Wherigo assume WGS84, or does it use a different datum for its coordinates?

I have no trouble concatenating text strings with variables inside a message box as long as my literal text strings do not include commas and as long as I include literal strings before and after my variables. But if my literal strings include commas then the Builder fails to parse them correctly.

1024x768. Maybe this is the excuse I needed to justify a big, new monitor.

I've discovered a bug in the builder's text parser. As noted in earlier posts here, you can include variables in message boxes using syntax like this: Wherigo.MessageBox{Text=[[Hello ]] .. playerName .. [[.]],} But if the literal text includes a comma, the builder's parser gets confused and mangles the code. For example, if I change the line above to this: Wherigo.MessageBox{Text=[[Hello, ]] .. playerName .. [[.]],} then the Builder will fail to properly parse the code and will mangle it into something that won't even compile. But if I send this code directly to the compiler without loading it in the Builder, it compiles just fine.

That is exactly what my problem was. I didn't see the close button at the bottom of the Edit Online window because it was hidden behind the Windows task bar. Thank you very much for pointing this out. Builder team, this is a user interface issue that should be fixed.

In the Builder I create a zone and use the Create from Map option to set its initial coordinates. Then I click the Edit Online button to see the Google Maps view of my zone. In this view I move the corners of my zone. I click Save Changes and wait until it finishes saving. Then I close the Edit Zones Online window. My changes are not reflected in the underlying Zone window. Am I doing something wrong? How do I get the changes I make in the Edit Online window to stick? I'm using version 2.0.4828.4384 of the builder.

Wherigo is working well for me on an AT&T 8525 with Windows Mobile 6 and a Bluetooth GPSr (i.Trek M7). I had to go into GPS Settings and disable "Manage GPS automatically" for it to work.

I'm not certain, but I would imagine only one program at a time would be able to access the GPSr. That might be it. This is the only way I was able to get Wherigo to run on my phone. This is also the only way I can get Wherigo to talk to my Bluetooth GPSr on my AT&T 8525 with Windows Mobile 6.
