+-=(GEO)=- Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 You can get the updated version from gpxsonar.homeip.net or from the mirror site. What's new in the BETA 2 release? Bug Fix: In BETA 1, some GPX files containing cache pages with very large description would crash GPXSonar and/or cause a hard reset of the device. This problem has been resolved. New Feature: A 'Search' filter has been added allowing exact or partial text searches on cache waypoints, names and owners. The search on these three columns is done automatically. New Feature: It is now possible to view unencrypted hints directly on the cache page. However, the hints are only visible when they are highlighted by the user. New Feature: It is now possible to generate a report on the caches bearing a field note. After a report is generated, GPXSonar also offers the option to delete the field notes. New Feature: GPXSonar now automatically re-sorts the cache list when the center coordinates are altered either by making the selected cache the center or by manually entering coordinates for the current location. New Feature: A green checkmark appears in front of the name of every cache that has already been found. Bug Fix: GC.com has added 2 new cache log types. One of them being a 'camera' type of log. The other one is still being investigated. Bug Fix: GC.com sometimes produces Pocket Queries containing invalid characters which cause the parser attempting to read them to fail. GPXSonar tries to filter such characters out as the GPX file is being read. New Feature: GPXSonar automatically saves the configuration of the application and any user-supplied data automatically every 30 seconds if alterations have been made. Bug Fix: In some instances, the code generating the caches pages would produce malformed HTML. Bug Fix: A new 'Performance Management' option has been added which allows the user to control how GPXSonar utilizes memory. By default, the performance option is set to 'Use More Memory' in order to be faster. The other option makes the program consume less memory but is slower to load GPX files. New Feature: A 'Preference' option has been included which allows to eliminate columns from the display. Also, the width of the columns is now preserved between runs. Bug Fix: Once again, the icons representing the caches have changed on the geocaching.com web site. GPXSonar has been updated accordingly to provide the same look and feel. New Feature: It is now possible to search on cache 'Owners'. This is a side effect of the 'Search' filter. BETA 2 will be available for Pocket PC 2002 shortly. Let me know what you think.

+Team Four Paw Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 Looking good! Everything works for me except for the new Found field. Is there something I need to do to make it work? Besides actually finding the caches I'll give it a workout this week and report back any bugs. Thanks again for all your hard work!!! Quote Link to comment

+strikeforce1 Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 Greetings -=GEO=-, though off topic. I like your new avatar. Good going ! Quote Link to comment
+-=(GEO)=- Posted October 21, 2003 Author Share Posted October 21, 2003 Geek-Qualizer... The 'Found Field' will bear a checkmark when you load a GPX file containing caches that you've already found. Tagging a cache with a field note does not make that checkmark appear (since you have not yet logged it online). Regards, Fabien. Quote Link to comment

Then when I just now read you message it clicked in my head what I was doing wrong. I had several gpx files on my pda dating back a few weeks. I opened an old one thinking that I would see the found check mark since I had found several caches that would be listed in that gpx. Doh! That won't work.. They're old gpx files which do not have my logs, and my newer GPX files only have caches that I have not found. Sorry... I rolled out of the idiot side of the bed today.. Thanks.. now I can go back and change my pocket queries. Quote Link to comment
+EarlyMorningHours Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 A very nice upgrade indeed. This is really turning out to be quite a nice program! The forecast calls for a rainfree Saturday in Buffalo, NY so I'll give it a good field workout then. Quote Link to comment
+Geofool Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 Great new functions added. Thank you for your efforts. Can’t wait for the PPC2002 version to be released. Will the 2002 version be optimized at this time? <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. Quote Link to comment
+-=(GEO)=- Posted October 21, 2003 Author Share Posted October 21, 2003 GeoFool... The PPC 2002 Version will not be optimized (again). I'm still limited to the emulator for that platform. Quote Link to comment

+azmark Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 When I click on cache details I get file not found as PIE opens. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance for any hints. AZMark Quote Link to comment
+-=(GEO)=- Posted October 22, 2003 Author Share Posted October 22, 2003 GeoFool... Nope. This can only be done by myself since it requires the C++ source code to trace things step by step. Quote Link to comment
+-=(GEO)=- Posted October 22, 2003 Author Share Posted October 22, 2003 Azmark... It sounds like you installed the app on the memory card which GPXSonar does not currently support. Please re-install the app to the main memory. Regards, Fabien. Quote Link to comment

+Team Four Paw Posted October 26, 2003 Share Posted October 26, 2003 Just wanted to say that GPXSonar Beta2 has been rock solid. For me at least. Quote Link to comment
