Cachemate Query

[+derrylynne]

I have installed cachemate in my pda. The problem is that I do not see hints even though I am a member of geocache.com and download the gpx files. Does anyone else have this problem? Or had anyone had this problem and resolved it?

How do you get the GPX into cachemate ? do you use CMconvert or GSAK?

 

are the hints not there or are they still encrypted?

I use cm convert, but have tried using gsak. Neither seem to give the hints

I will have a play around when I get home. but it seems a bit strange.

 

Might be worth removing it and install it again.

thanks deego. How do I remove it from the pda first though? Or do I just reinstall over the one that is there?

If all else fails.. try GPX Sonar. This displays a list of caches... tap one and up comes the page as seen on GC.COM (if you have WiFi is accesses the "live" page). Alternatively, hold the stylus on the cache and you have an option just to show the hint. Dashed clever in the field..

Cachemate uses multiple pages are you looking at the overview page ?

Tap the H at the top right of the screen for the hint page

Also does the cache you are looking at have a hint at all?

oops almost forgot

you need to tick the export hint box from gsak as well !!!

Thanks guys. Found the problem in the end. When I downloaded the gsx file, I opened it with easygps first, and this stripped down some of the info. I found I had to import the raw file first in cmconvert for it to be converted to pda. Works fine now thank god.
