CacheMate

[The Cartooners]

I have recently purchased CacheMate (1.3.1b) for our PPC, a Mio P560.

 

In order to register you have to submit a SmittyWareID which you identify from you PPC and in return you receive a text string Code. When I type in the code and it readily accepts.

 

So far so good.

 

However, if you turn the PPC off and then back on again CacheMate informs me that the software is unregistered and then insists on only displaying 10 caches instead of the 400 I have in an imported Query.

 

If you keep the PPC switched on and then close and re-open CacheMate all is well.

 

Has anyone else had issues like this?

 

And ideas greatfully received.

Put a support request in here.

Nope, mine works fine, same version too.

 

Where have you installed it? Card, Main Memory? Did you click on the OK button when you entered your code? [just covering all bases ;-)]

 

Currently importing almost 2,000 caches into CacheMate...

I'm having exactly the same problem. Upgraded from a Palm to a Mio, requested new code, worked fine this afternoon. After reading your problem, I turned it back on to find only 10 caches and a different Smittyware ID number.

 

I will put in support request as pklong suggested, but just thought I'd let you know you're not alone.

No probs on my Mio... raise a support request, they are pretty quick at smittyware.

Sorry, forgot to say that I had put in a request. Brian seems to think its an issue with the PPC's registry?

 

I just wanted to hear other peoples comments /experiences before trying things like a firmware update or returning it to depot.

There's better tools to use for PPC, such as beeline GPS. Cachemate is top for the palm, but wouldn't recomend it for PPC, simply because there are better tools that can be used on a PPC system.

That wasn't the question . I personally think cachemate is the dogs danglies, far better than Beeline which I tried once. I'm sure the problem can be fixed one way or another. I hope it gets fixed quick.

Likewise... I wouldn't leave home without it

I've totally reset to factory settings, reloaded the mapping software which also wouldn't work and reloaded Cachemate. It gave me the original SmittyWare ID, so I did not have to request a new code. I've downloaded caches into it, turned it off, made a cup of tea and turned it back on, and everything seems to be working OK.

I will try a factory reset tomorrow and let you know how it goes.

 

Need to test my Wherigo cartridge before I do anything.

 

Thanks all

Looks like a factory reset has fixed my issue. (I don't know why I didn't think of it)

 

Thanks Cathy and all who contributed.
