Handspring Visor "find" Feature Problem


Recommended Posts

Hello

 

I own a Handspring Visor Pro OS ver 3.5.2h3.0 and I have Cache Mate, Iambic Tiny Sheets and Plucker softaware loaded on it plus other Address Book etc.. generic programs.

 

When I attempt to use the "find" feature on my PDA and attempt to search for a geocache ID name( say GCB BB7) that is in my database in Cache Mate, it will not locate it.. i have tried upper and lower case

but,

if I use the "find" feature to look for a geocache name or even its coordinates, it can be found ???

 

Also I have a large database of names ,phone numbers etc in my Iambic Tiny sheets for work , I can't locate any names in this Excel spreadsheet generated database using "find"

 

If the name exists in my address e-mail files , it is found???

 

Any idea on why the find feature only locates such names and places from certain files only ?? :rolleyes:

I can use the find function on my Tungsten E to seach by geocache ID successfully in Cachemate. Somehow, though, I seem to remember this was not always the case.

 

By what route do you run your data into Cachemate? I use GSAK to insert %code for the waypoint name, such that in the Info screen for a given cache in Cachemate I have something like:

 

Name: Liberty Reservoir #1

 

Waypoint: GC10BA

 

As I said, a search with the PDA find function on GC10BA returns that cache. Unless you have some other value in the Waypoint Name in CM, I'm at a loss to say why it doesn't work for you.

 

On the larger question, I suspect that if data is stored in some proprietary format the find feature may not be able to locate the desired records. That's more hunch than informed opinion...
