+Boardslider Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 Just paid for it but not got around to downloading and installing. For reasons I won't bore you with an upgrade isn't an option for me so I intend to do a clean install and then import my (previously saved) database. Clyde assures me this will work, so now worries there, I just wondered what other peeps though of the new version...... Quote
Deego Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 Not had time yet but I will be paying for the new version. I think its well worth the money and Its one of the most used pieces of software on my PC. Quote

I think its well worth the money and Its one of the most used pieces of software on my PC. Couldn't agree more (except that I have had time to install it)!

+Globetrotter.uk Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 I upgraded but when I used my palm 650 the caches where listed as Geocache rather than the cache name. So I switch back. Quote

+Midnight Ramblers Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 I am using it. Did not have to pay for it as I only paid for the previous version the day before 7 was released. Quote
+rutson Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 I've been using it for several months without major issues. Unfortunately I've not had a lot of time to play with many of the shiny new features. Have gone from v6 to v7 several times and the imports have always been flawless. Quote
+Team Ballibeg Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 To sort the Cachemate export issue read this thread on the GSAK forum. http://gsak.net/board/index.php?showtopic=...mp;hl=cachemate Dave Quote
+Boardslider Posted February 6, 2007 Author Posted February 6, 2007 Well, I installed it this morning. A completely clean install (on this PC), configured, registered then imported a full backup from the old version with no problems at all (well, it took a couple of goes to register). Not really played with it, but everything seems to be there so if nothing else I get a nice warm feeling for supporting a hard working shareware author Quote
alistair_uk Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 Just one quick moan, please don't use NE1 instead of "anyone", it is most confusing if you live in an NE1 postcode where the acronym is used as a geographical identifier. Okay, moan over. Quote

Okay, moan over. I'm glad you pointed out what NE1 meant. I hate acronyms sometimes, they are a lazy way of typing, and you need to know what they mean to understand them!! Quote

Oh Dear! Pointless pedantic debate coming up. It isn't exactly but is near enough for my liking. I don't even know if there is a word for the mobile text style of wording. If there is I bet it's an Acronym!! Quote
Deego Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 I upgraded last night for £7.82 I can pay more than that for food on a days caching trip :P Only noticed a few things that were different but will play more tonight Quote
+Just Roger Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 The main benefit I've found so far is in the handling of Child waypoints. Amongst other things, for older cache pages, it gives the option to grab waypoints as children rather than as separate unrelated waypoints. I'm still playing and will probably find other goodies hidden in there. Quote
+Captain Gore-tex Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 I am certain I only use 10% of the capability of GSAK as there is so much in it. That said it is so integral to my caching the payment is worth it. It is a clever bit of kit I couldn't do without. Quote

As someone who tries to type in fora in as plain an Englishy kind of way, observing puctuation, capitalisation, and even some of the rules of grammar, my one slip into shorthand gets short shrift.
