Advanced Nuvi Macro

[+Schatjes van Schouten]

Thanks for the update and implementing some of my suggestions!

 

Maybe you could implement the way the macro handles corrected coordinates with a new advanced setting, letting the user choose between a separate category for corrected waypoints or not.

[+jjreds]

And another feature request.

 

Archived caches do not get returned in PQs, which means that when importing a newer version of a PQ after a cache has been archived, the archived cache will remain in the GSAK db as active..

 

Could we get a feature that inspect the 'last GPX' field in the GSAK db for caches and if that is too far back (by a configurable number of days) to not load the cache to the nuvi (or maybe add it to a 'possibly gone' category rather than the normal ones, indicating the last GPX date?

 

That way archived caches will not get onto the nuvi even if they stay in GSAK.

 

If you include "Is not active" in the PQ doesn't the DB get updated with archived?

I don't specify any status at all, so I should get all, but I don't get archived ones, because

I think 'is not active' means 'include temp disabled' but not archived ones (they are effectively deleted)?

Is it possible to changethe way Child waypoint info is displayed. As an example, a waypoints is displayed on my Nuvi 760 like this:

 

SK1AR73 - Parking Area

Child of GC1AR73

 

Instead of the GC #, I like to see the name of the cache

 

SK1AR73 - Parking Area

Child og Gryte-Hytta

 

I like to mention that I have a similar wish for my Oregon 300, where I use the Colorado Export macro. The above child waypoints is displayed in the waypoint list as SK1AR73. But, I will post the Oregon issue elsewhere.

Catch try v5.6.8 I don't have my Nuvi to check the output but you should see "Child of <cache name>"

j

Thanks, it works fine on my Nuvi 760. It looks like the number of characters after "Child of" is limited to 15. Is that a Nuvi, GSAK or macro limitation ?

[+jjreds]

1. It would be very nice (for me) to have the base-export directory as a parameter. I use Poi_Loader to load other POIs to my garmin to, always usng the Custom directory option. So silent mode is no option for me (why can't the #@%$#@$ Garmin-program can't use command line parameters?????). I've altered the macro myself, adding a $Gpx_Homedir variable
   

 

+1 Yes please too.

 

 

Upgrade to v5.7 to enable this feature. If using spoilers upgrade the ssmac to v2.8

Thanks for keeping the Corrected Coordinates as a separate category.

 

I just need to figure out a method to not download unsolved puzzle caches. If they aren't solved, then I don't need them on the road.

 

As of now, if a "?" cache is not a puzzle (i.e. special logging requirements, etc.) and the cache is at the posted coordinates, I just trigger the "Corrected Coordinates" flag and keep the original coordinates as the corrected ones. Those are the only ones I want to load.

JJred,

 

Thanks for implement the sugestions in such a quick manner.

Myself I dont care about the Last poi date field and having it on top of the listing well takes away one line of important description.

Nuvis are not that fast scrolling text so I would like to request this to be an option that can be turned on/off in the advanced menu perhaps?

[+Schatjes van Schouten]

Jjred,

 

I was pleasantly surprised when i read this morning you implemented the user-configurable output path in version 5.7.

 

But looking at the code i noticed that you still prepend the $_Install directory to the set $GPX_Output_folder. This way I can not set the output folder to a different path where i keep all my downloaded .gpx files :-(

As a developer myself i don't like storing data and programcode in the same directory, that's just one of my things ;-)

 

To aid in the tedious task of changing code for this .. i did some work for you, If you send me your email address i'll send it to you

If you are upgrading to v5.7.1 with GPX output path support and using spoiler pics,

 

You must upgrade the spoiler macro to v2.8.1

Hi Jjreds,

 

I use your macro frequently, but I miss my GSAK user notes. I use the usernotes for the solutions of the mistery caches and partial information of a bonus cache. For most of the mistery caches I use the corrected coordinate option, but for some caches the original location directs to the parking area. For these caches and the bonuscaches of a serie I use the usernotes. As there is no option to include the usernotes I changed your macro to include the usernotes before the hint, but after every upgrade I need to modify the macro again. I hope you want to inlcude this option in your macro.

 

With kind regards,

Joker009

[+CDS231]

I would also be very much interested in this being added to this great macro. The reasons the "Joker" stated are the same as mine. I know it was asked for earlier but perhaps it was over looked. Thanks, CDS231

[+Teddy2k]

Once you've entered the corrected coordinates, you could manually enter a child waypoint for the parking area in GSAK. That way, both the parking area and the final will be on your GPSr with no need to manually enter the coordinates in the field.

[+Joker009]

Jjreds,

 

I'm very happy you want to add the usernotes as Christmas present to us

 

Personally I want to read my notes first, because it contain e.g. answers to questions I had to make at home or information obtained form other caches (like a bonus cache). So I do not want to scroll down to check whether there are notes or not.

 

(I modified your latest macro yesterday. When you like I will mail it to you)

Quick question how can I replace the included proximity beep file with my own?

I plan on making one with a 30sec silence to prevent the multiple beeps and I would like that the macro do it automatically for me instead of having to replace all the wavs manually.

I should've read all the logs.

I found a bug about this. The macro will always replace the sound (at least the wav files) with the included ones.

I think the culprit is this sub : BEGINSUB Name=Unzip_Bitmaps_and_Sound_Files

Theres no check to see if the USE my sounds checkbox is checked so it just replaces it no matter what.

Even after starting the macro and replacing the soundfil, during execution it still ends up with the included sound file.

Hey catch, try removing all POI fromt he Nuvi using POI_Loader first and reinstall again.

It sounds like the nuvi has three copies of the POIs installed.

Sorry the instruction is completely wrong! Replace the sound files in the output folders, not the tools folder. That way you can have a different alert for each database and if using custom POI's each POI type.

Yes, you are right. I can see that there are two subfolders from previous runs in my main db folder, and I guess POIL picks up from all 3. I also noticed that loading the POIs to the Nuvi took alot longer time than before.

Me too I am looking to see if the multiple alerts can be fixed. I am trying to find the format of the GPX file to work with it.

 

On a side note regarding user notes, was it intended that every single cache includes all the user notes?

I thought it would be better that the usernotes only be included in the appropriate cache?

[+Joker009]

Hi Jjreds,

 

First I like to thank you for adding the usernote option!

 

As ZeMartelo noted, caches has a usernote that is not always the usernote of the appropriate cache. I checked the code and a couple of lines are changed compared to the code I sent to you. The code is more compact now, but the variable $UserNote is not cleared when the cache do not contain a usernote. So the last usernote will be added to the next processed caches without a usernote.

 

The solution is easy:

 

Add the code below on line 1381 (just before the last ENDIF)

ELSE
  $UserNote=""

 

I checked the macro with this modification and it is running fine. Caches without a usernote will not have any additional note (not even the word "Usernote").

 

With kind regards,

Hi jjreds,

 

I'm having trouble sidplaying the POI creation date.

 

I've run the macro a number of times, being careful to click the creation box in the configuration. It appears to save the setting. I then create the GPX file and install it on my Nuvi. When I check the POI for a cache, there is no POI creation date.

 

I then check back to the macro and what was previously saved is no longer saved, that is the POI creation tick box is now cleared whereas when I created the GPX it was set to display the POI creation date.

 

This did work in the first release but does not work with the latest release.

 

Whilst on the subject of the POI creation date, is it possible to code that it used the PC date format?

 

Us aussies downunder use the DD/MM/YYYY format for dates!!

 

Thanks again for this great nuvi GSAK macro.

Same results here but for me it is not that big of a deal. I did find that I am getting the user notes (great) and also the USER LOG (not so great for me). Is this the way the macro was intended for the results. If so I can live with it. Great to have the user notes.

I've run the macro a number of times, being careful to click the creation box in the configuration. It appears to save the setting. I then create the GPX file and install it on my Nuvi. When I check the POI for a cache, there is no POI creation date.

 

I then check back to the macro and what was previously saved is no longer saved, that is the POI creation tick box is now cleared whereas when I created the GPX it was set to display the POI creation date.

 

This did work in the first release but does not work with the latest release.

 

Whilst on the subject of the POI creation date, is it possible to code that it used the PC date format?

 

Us aussies downunder use the DD/MM/YYYY format for dates!!

 

Thanks again for this great nuvi GSAK macro.

try v5.8.3

still unable to test here

Same results here but for me it is not that big of a deal. I did find that I am getting the user notes (great) and also the USER LOG (not so great for me). Is this the way the macro was intended for the results. If so I can live with it. Great to have the user notes.

No sure what you mean by "USER LOG". Do you mean the logs that appear after the description or something else?
