+-=(GEO)=- Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 What's new in the 1.3 release? Bug Fix: The “Last Found” column is now correctly labeled “Last Log”. New Feature: In field notes reports and cache page details, the cache waypoint now links back to the corresponding cache page on GC.com New Feature: Added support for the new Earthcache type on GC.com New Feature: Added an option to automatically name exported files after the name of the GPX file currently loaded. New Feature: Added the ability to export waypoints in CSV format (“Name”, “Lat”, “Lon”) New Feature: Added a “Total Field Notes” counter in the GPX File Info report to show how many field notes are currently in memory. New Feature: Added the “Field Notes Cleaner” option under the Tools menu. This option will permanently purge the memory from all field notes. Use it CAREFULLY! Change: renamed the “Field Notes” counter in the GPX File Info report to “Visible Field Notes”. This count refers to the count of field notes matching a cache listed in the GPX file currently opened. Change: Travel Bug serial numbers can now be alphanumerical and as long as 15 characters. This is intended to support Jeep TBs. Change: GC.com has changed the spelling of “Multi-Cache” to “Multi-cache” causing GpxSonar to not represent multi-cache icons properly in the main cache list. This is resolved. Change: Removed “Surprise_Cache.gif” file from the WptTypes directory. This cache type never existed. Change: Added “Unknown_(Mystery)_Cache.gif” file. Some older GPX files still seem to reference this cache type and cache pages were showing a missing icon when referencing it. You can download GpxSonar here Quote Link to comment
+Cache Viking Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 Thanks. Just downloaded and giving it a try. Quote Link to comment
+Maeglin Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 (edited) Actually the "unknown (mystery) cache" type is still in use... there are a few in this part of NC, placed recently, and a few caches (mostly involving puzzles) that are actually those but mislabeled as traditional.

+Molinnis Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 What is an "Earthcache". Cannot find any reference to this anywhere on the main site. Quote Link to comment

+IV_Warrior Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 Did you add support for the new SMALL cache size? I always hated doing it myself, so I definately will like this feature: New Feature: Added an option to automatically name exported files after the name of the GPX file currently loaded.

+IV_Warrior Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 Guess I won't be enjoying the benefits of the new version. I just went to download, and realized you're not doing anything for PocketPC 2002 anymore Quote Link to comment

+Insp Gadget Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 I noticed one small thing and wonder if this is just with my machine. If I enter one of my own caches under my stuff, the coordinates drop the leading zero. If I enter 65 04.661 and save it, when I reopen, I get 65 4.661. I always forget if th zero is in front or at the end. Anyone see this? Quote Link to comment
+-=(GEO)=- Posted October 17, 2004 Author Share Posted October 17, 2004 A leading zero doesn't matter. That's why it's getting dropped. Quote Link to comment
+Renegade Knight Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 For what it's worth I noticed the S&T pushpins were updated. Excellent. Thanks. Quote Link to comment
+-=(GEO)=- Posted October 23, 2004 Author Share Posted October 23, 2004 GpxSonar v1.3.1 released: Bug Fix: version 1.3 was released with a bug in the management of the Travel Bugs in the field notes. The bug prevented any TB from being picked up from a cache. This problem is now resolved. Change: the cache options menu was cleaned up from unnecessary cache viewing options. Quote Link to comment
+GeoRoo Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 I have been using GpxSonar for about 6 months with my HP 2255 running PC 2003 and love it. I recently upgraded to the new version and is it my imagination, but has the font changed size to a bit larger? I seem to be having a problem squeezing in the information that I like to view without scrolling sideways. I like to have the cache name, then difficulty, terrain, distance and direction all in one view so I don't have to scroll. I have to cut off too much of the cache name to get it all in like it used to be. Is there a way to make the font smaller within the program or do I have to handle this in the operating system? Or am I out of luck? I only use my PDA for geocaching, so I'm a total knewbie there. I will say I was hugely impressed with HP customer support when I lost the large center input button out geocaching. It went out on a Wed. afternoon from near Seattle to Texas and I had it back with the OS updated and in my hands 2 days later. I can't imagine geocaching without my PDA. GpxSonar is a huge asset.

+Faderaven Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 I looked over your webpage but didn't see a link for directions? Can someone tell me briefly how it works? Do I just download a .gpx file and then open it with GPXSonar? Or do they need to be converted first? How does the note decoding work? Is that a seperate program? Quote Link to comment
+-=(GEO)=- Posted October 25, 2004 Author Share Posted October 25, 2004 Faderaven, Check the links on the right hand side of the main page. You'll find links to the manual for v1.1. There are differences now but it should help you getting started. Quote Link to comment
+Faderaven Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 Can I install this to the SD card? Quote Link to comment
