What happened Saturday? There are also complaints that GAPP has exact the same problems as from Saturday. And also divided opinions, some have this issue (Win7) and for others it works perfectly fine (Win10).

When I open the Dutch forum I have to enter a password again to enter the forum, but the password doesn't work. How can I enter the Dutch forum?

It is working for me (BEL_adm4.shp). Are you sure you have the corresponding files also (dbf and shx file)? And did you select: Table name: NAME_4 Coordtype: WGS84 Area type: City Encoding: ISO-8859-1 When you added this, select the shapefile in the list and press the button 'Test shapefile'. You get a screen with all the (city) names on the left. Click on a name and you see the area on the map.

The online map is fixed. This was caused by a not available script (cluster markers). These scripts are now retrieved from globalcaching website instead of a svn repository for the script. Can you provide me the link for the shapefile you use? I will try this as soon as I have the shapefiles.

I will have a look at this.

GSAKWrapper is out of beta now (V1.0.0.0) Also supports offline maps, see video ( )For more videos, check https://github.com/GlobalcachingEU/GSAKWrapper/wiki

It is a separate application, but can install macros (by one click in GSAKWrapper) to let it integrate nicely into GSAK. GSAKWrapper is Open Source, is and will stay free.

Message for GSAK users: Checkout the GSAKWrapper Wiki A great addition to GSAK to create any filter you want without the need to use macros or SQL statements (MFilter). It not only lets you create the most complex filters in an easy manner, but it also lets you select action to perform on the result of the filter. Next to filters the GSAKWrapper supports: - Shapefiles - Geocache collections - Export to Excel - C# scripting (editor with syntax highlighting and code completion) - Formula Solver Filters can be installed as macro's. So after creating you can easily execute them from within GSAK. Video of the pre-release (old one) - Robert

I am not farmiliar with GAPP in German, but I assume you mean the 'Geocache counter'. The Geocache counter counts the geocaches and passes it on to the corresponding outputs (<, <=, etc) Geocaches run through the filters one by one beginning at the Start filter. Within the Start filter you can first sort the geocaches (e.g. sort on distance from center) So, when you want to make a GPX with not more than 1000 geocaches, you create your filter. The Start is set to the desired sorting (so the 1000 geocaches are not random, but e.g. ordered distance from center, so closest to center will be selected first). At the end in the flow you add a filter 'Geocache counter' and set the value to 1000. Then connect the output '<=' to the action 'Set Select'. This way you get what you want. The 'Wegpunktzähler' is the same, but it not only counts Geocaches, but also includes (counts) child waypoints. Hope this helps. - Robert Edit: A Pocket Query (PQ) is the same as a GPX in this case. Groundspeak has named it PQ and most people are now calling it this way and yes, You can create a PQ in GAPP too, which is in fact creating a GPX file (optionally zipped with the child waypoints in a seperate file within the zip)

You are right that this would be more accurate. It only requires an extra call to the Live API get get the find count. I will put this on the todo list. - Robert

For Power trails there is already batchlogging available. Select the geocaches you want to log and go to LiveAPI->Log geocache->Selected Order the geocaches (if you want) and you can log them as a batch Good idea. Number is already a 'Platzhalter' (the start of this counter can even be edited in case the #foundcount starts with a wrong number due to an incomplete database where not all your founds are available) - Robert

The chat server wasn't running.

Thanks . Sorry, I don't write/speak German, but I understand it perfectly well. Could you try the chat again? I think it's fixed now.

Wanneer je bij 'search only in...' Netherlands invult, en dan bij 'Geocache Name Contains ...' herinneringen invult, krijg je meerdere resultaten, zo ook 'Herinneringen in Zuilen'.

Volgens mij zijn dat de eerste letters van drie teams die tezamen een aantal caches hebben gedaan: - AmbersHofste - Kub 23 - SharonaWientjes Hemma

Omdat we hebben besloten over te stappen naar een nieuwe provider (te veel problemen bij de huidige provider i.v.m te veel down time) zijn we tot morgenvroeg helaas uit de lucht. We hopen morgen weer online te zijn. Excuses voor eventuele overlast.

Wat je ook kunt doen is GAPP gebruiken. (is in ieder geval gratis in tegenstelling tot gsak)

Op globalcaching.eu kun je geocaches zoeken op eigenschappen Dit is een Premium Member functie, dus moet je wel PM zijn (en dat ben je) en autoriseren. - Robert

That a geocache manager can be more that just a geocache manager is shown by GAPP. GAPP has tons of features, but is still user friendly and it is completely free. One feature that has been available in GAPP some time already is the Chat. But this is not just a chat, it gives you the option to follow other users to see what geocaches they are watching. Watch this video for a demo. - Robert

We are one month further and a lot has been added and improved. GAPP has a new file format that is super fast reducing the load time to a minimum (loading 50.000 in about 2 seconds). All changes can be found here. GAPP

OMG, people people, please.... harsh harsh harsh comments I read. A bit embarishing to read. Think of this: The developers at Groundspeak know best what to do. They are the only ones that know the system, what problems they are facing, what needs to be done. It is embarishing to read that people who have no knowledge about the system judge in such a hard manner. As a user I have difficulty reading the comments. Can you imagine how the developpers at groundsepak would feel. I wouldn't blame them if they wouldn't read it at all anymore. - Robert

The new version is ready for download. You can now set the desired behaviour of the google map marker clusterer. You can find these settings on the settings page (Plugins->Settings) Under Maps. You have the option to set the following cluster settings: - Enable clustering above # geocaches (so, under this amount, no clustering will be done) - set the maximum zoom lever for clustering - set the grid size. Robert

No......not yet But I can make it optional if you like. For some situations you really want clustering, because otherwise the map will be too slow (eg. with 20.000 markers). Next version will have more options to control the map behaviour. Thanks for the suggestion. - Robert
