Rob & Lisa Posted July 3, 2002 Posted July 3, 2002 Hi. The UK Geocaching Waypoints page at http://www.roblisa.com/geocache/ now has an option to generate files that indicate which caches you have found or lets you just download found or unfound caches. The list of caches you've found is generated along with all the other files so you may find one or two missing if you have logged it after the last update of the files but it will appear within a few days (unless we go on holiday again ). Hope you find it useful. Cheers, Rob. Ok, 10 metres. It's somewhere around here... Quote
el10t Posted July 3, 2002 Posted July 3, 2002 Rob, that looks really useful! I haven't tried it yet - will give it a go when I get home from work this evening. Thanks a lot. ----------------- el10t mobilis in mobili Quote
+Chris n Maria Posted July 3, 2002 Posted July 3, 2002 Thankyou, Thankyou. This is something I have been wanting for a long time but didn't dare ask for. I've just tried the CSV download and it works great. Well done Rob! Chris "We're not lost - we just don't know where we are" London & UK Geocaching Resources: http://www.sheps.clara.net Quote
+The Northumbrian Posted July 3, 2002 Posted July 3, 2002 Fantastic, it works well and saves a lot of work me doing it the hard way, Many thanks Quote
+The Hornet Posted July 3, 2002 Posted July 3, 2002 As I said in my e-mail earlier this is a wonderfull tool and will be immensely useful. Thanks again. Quote
+Subarite Posted July 3, 2002 Posted July 3, 2002 I have just tried the new custom feature and it is spot on, allowing an import (.csv) into Autoroute. Well done. Andy. Quote
LazyLeopard Posted July 4, 2002 Posted July 4, 2002 Fantastic! Thanks! Purrs... LazyLeopard http://www.lazyleopard.org.uk Quote
+Lassitude Posted July 4, 2002 Posted July 4, 2002 Tried V4 Mapsource file with my user profile and only caches I have not found and it worked flawlessly. This will save me a lot of time and effort. Thanks Chris LASSITUDE- (noun) Tiredness and apathy: a state of weariness accompanied by listlessness or apathy[15th century. Via French from Latin lassitudo , from lassus 'weary'.] Quote
+Richard & Beth Posted July 5, 2002 Posted July 5, 2002 Looks like we'll have to make a new forum for Rob's head as it grows with all these compliments! Seriously, just made use of the new feature myself, certainly beats the Mapsource shuffle I had to do before to preserve my finds! Richard Quote
+Chris n Maria Posted July 8, 2002 Posted July 8, 2002 Would it be possible to extend the scripts to produce Palmable pages which have the cache description, hint and OS Grid Ref on them? Just thought I would ask..... Chris "We're not lost - we just don't know where we are" London & UK Geocaching Resources: http://www.sheps.clara.net Quote
Rob & Lisa Posted July 9, 2002 Author Posted July 9, 2002 That would probably depend on what you mean by Palmable pages. Do you just want a plain text file that you can paste into a MemoPad document or a .pdb file or a page you can access through a Palm web browser? If it's a plain text file, send me a sample of what you are after and I'll see what I can do. Cheers, Rob. Ok, 10 metres. It's somewhere around here... Quote
Rob & Lisa Posted July 10, 2002 Author Posted July 10, 2002 Ok, there is a page up now at http://www.roblisa.com/geocache/summary.html which filters the geocaching.com cache pages into simplified html suitable for printing and handheld devices. Note that this script is unrelated to the rest of the geocaching pages on the site and as such it is not restricted to UK caches and does not rely on me performing refreshes (with the exception of OS grid references which are extracted from the index pages but are just omitted if not found). Cheers, Rob. Ok, 10 metres. It's somewhere around here... Quote
+Chris n Maria Posted July 10, 2002 Posted July 10, 2002 Brilliant! Just tried it with plucker and it works great. All I need to do now is take the CSV file of stuff I havn't found and use it to generate an Index page. - Feed that in to plucker and I'm Sorted. Great.

+The Hornet Posted July 11, 2002 Posted July 11, 2002 Rob, this is another wonderful addition. Even without a handheld I will find this useful for producing printed summary lists. It will certainly save paper! Well done again. Peter Quote
+The Wombles Posted July 11, 2002 Posted July 11, 2002 Totally brilliant capability - just as Geocaching.com launches an eBook capability for members. I've registered but haven't received the output yet . . . Dave & Nicky Quote
Rob & Lisa Posted July 11, 2002 Author Posted July 11, 2002 Hi. Just a small update. There is now another form on the summary page that lets you get a summary of the caches you haven't found that are near a given cache so you can choose a cache near your house or holiday destination as a base and get all the closest caches in one file. Cheers, Rob. Ok, 10 metres. It's somewhere around here... Quote
+Icenians Posted July 13, 2002 Posted July 13, 2002 Would it be possible for you to put an index of the caches in the summary at the top of the page which link to the appropriate places in the page. A summary with that would be bang on perfect. Well done Rob & Lisa! Quote
Rob & Lisa Posted July 15, 2002 Author Posted July 15, 2002 Hi. Ok, indexes are available via a new dropdown. You can have No Index, Index at Top or Index Only. Also, hints now have [decrypt] links as requested by Chris & Maria. Cheers, Rob. Ok, 10 metres. It's somewhere around here... Quote
+Chris n Maria Posted July 15, 2002 Posted July 15, 2002 quote:Originally posted by Rob & Lisa: Also, hints now have [decrypt] links as requested by Chris & Maria. Oh that's it name the guilty Thanks loads as it now means I can download everything I need on to my palm and using plucker it dosn't take up much space at all.

+Icenians Posted July 15, 2002 Posted July 15, 2002 Tried the summary with the index. Can't ask for more. Many thanks. This is better than the ebook solution. Quote
+Chris n Maria Posted July 15, 2002 Posted July 15, 2002 ....so in a bored moment I have produced a spreadsheet (well that way it looks like I'm working ) which allows you to build completley customised indexes from robs CSV files and automates the load process into Plucker. If you think it might be of use you can download it from: http://www.sheps.clara.net/UKTools.html Chris "We're not lost - we just don't know where we are" London & UK Geocaching Resources: http://www.sheps.clara.net Quote
