CyberJunkie... Since you're running PPC 2003, try GPXSonar. GpxSonar Home Page Regards, Fabien. Got a PPC? Check out GPXSonar @ http://gpxsonar.homeip.net

I own a Gecko 201 as my backup/Guest GPSr. My primary being a MeriPlat. Trying to compare the 2 would be pointless. Let's just say that I've always been happy with the performance of the Gecko when I needed it. The only thing that I do not like about it is the power button: the stupid thing has powered itself on in my pack so many times that I lost count. Since then, I always take the batteries out of the Gecko when I don't need it. Regards, Fabien.

Jasy, I know that PocketCache will run on a PPC 2000 as long as you install the .Net Compact framework first. You can find more info here: http://ubbx.Groundspeak.com/6/ubb.x?a=tpc&s=5726007311&f=7116058331&m=94560049 Regards, Fabien

Marky... This is interesting. What browser are you using? You should be able to increase the font size from your browser anyways. Regards, Fabien.

Azmark... It sounds like you installed the app on the memory card which GPXSonar does not currently support. Please re-install the app to the main memory. Regards, Fabien.

GeoFool... Nope. This can only be done by myself since it requires the C++ source code to trace things step by step.

Actually, I tried to email Jeremy directly about it since the general contact does not seem to get much attention anymore. But I never heard anything back which is why I am asking my question here in the hope that the folks who have gone through the process will be have useful pointers. Regards, Fabien.

GPXSonar is the geocaching application for Pocket PC 2002 & 2003 that I've recently released. You can find more information on it here and in the following threads: http://ubbx.Groundspeak.com/6/ubb.x?a=srch&s=5726007311&findw=GPXSonar Regards, Fabien. PS: about the 'General Forum'... Not sure why, but I just lost interest in the flame wars and everlasting (mostly pointless) battles over God knows what. I'd rather contribute to the game in a more productive way

I'd like to know if and how I can get GPXSonar listed on the site in the GeoCaching Software section. Jeremy, ClayJar, Lil Devil, any suggestions?

GeoFool... The PPC 2002 Version will not be optimized (again). I'm still limited to the emulator for that platform.

Strikeforce1... Good to hear from you Sal

Geek-Qualizer... The 'Found Field' will bear a checkmark when you load a GPX file containing caches that you've already found. Tagging a cache with a field note does not make that checkmark appear (since you have not yet logged it online). Regards, Fabien.

You can get the updated version from gpxsonar.homeip.net or from the mirror site. What's new in the BETA 2 release? Bug Fix: In BETA 1, some GPX files containing cache pages with very large description would crash GPXSonar and/or cause a hard reset of the device. This problem has been resolved. New Feature: A 'Search' filter has been added allowing exact or partial text searches on cache waypoints, names and owners. The search on these three columns is done automatically. New Feature: It is now possible to view unencrypted hints directly on the cache page. However, the hints are only visible when they are highlighted by the user. New Feature: It is now possible to generate a report on the caches bearing a field note. After a report is generated, GPXSonar also offers the option to delete the field notes. New Feature: GPXSonar now automatically re-sorts the cache list when the center coordinates are altered either by making the selected cache the center or by manually entering coordinates for the current location. New Feature: A green checkmark appears in front of the name of every cache that has already been found. Bug Fix: GC.com has added 2 new cache log types. One of them being a 'camera' type of log. The other one is still being investigated. Bug Fix: GC.com sometimes produces Pocket Queries containing invalid characters which cause the parser attempting to read them to fail. GPXSonar tries to filter such characters out as the GPX file is being read. New Feature: GPXSonar automatically saves the configuration of the application and any user-supplied data automatically every 30 seconds if alterations have been made. Bug Fix: In some instances, the code generating the caches pages would produce malformed HTML. Bug Fix: A new 'Performance Management' option has been added which allows the user to control how GPXSonar utilizes memory. By default, the performance option is set to 'Use More Memory' in order to be faster. The other option makes the program consume less memory but is slower to load GPX files. New Feature: A 'Preference' option has been included which allows to eliminate columns from the display. Also, the width of the columns is now preserved between runs. Bug Fix: Once again, the icons representing the caches have changed on the geocaching.com web site. GPXSonar has been updated accordingly to provide the same look and feel. New Feature: It is now possible to search on cache 'Owners'. This is a side effect of the 'Search' filter. BETA 2 will be available for Pocket PC 2002 shortly. Let me know what you think. Regards, Fabien.

Nick & Ali... The answer to your question resides in the User's Guide available here In a nutshell, check out the 'Filters' menu under the 'Cache Attributes'. Cheers, Fabien.

Easy I'll create an account for you and will email you with the details.

Thanks to Verizon, the site was down this morning But it's back up now. Also, the site will soon be mirrored on www.cachegear.com. Regards, Fabien

The user guide for GPXSonar is now available at http://gpxsonar.homeip.net Comments and feedback are appreciated as always. Regards, Fabien.

Faderaven... I'm getting there with the documentation and the FAQ. In the meantime, check out http://www.cachegear.com for a review of GPXSonar.

The forum is now up and running

I own an iPAQ 1945 and I love it. I've been using is for 3 months now and I don't have any complaints about it. From experience, I've learned that the stability of a PDA is directly proportional to the quality of the software that you run on it. Some users tend to blame the system when in fact they're the ones responsible for trashing it. My 2 cents...

The home page for GPXSonar is now http://gpxsonar.homeip.net/ I'm now hosting it myself ever since I changed ISP. I'm hoping to have a bulletin board online shortly to support discussions about the program. Regards, Fabien.
