Hi there, it's me again,
sorry i did not send you the file, but i have figured out a way of letting gc-scanner export the gpx to xml using a modified template of mine. After that, i renamed the file to gpx, imported it into gpxview and had the data that missed before. There was only a minor problem left where someone named a cache like Flughafen >Hotel< with those ">" signs that gives trouble to the gpx interpreter. I also find out that gpxview gives useful information when started from commandline (but only after i determined what record went wrong in a 30-minutes trial and error session
). Starting from commandline gave me the record right away...ahhh....next time i know it better.
As for the gps, there seems to be a problem with my diablo when starting gps for the first time after a device-reset. I think gpxview cannot start the gps, but starting the gps first using the wayfinder map application fixed the problem (even when map was closed after the initial gps-start and the gps was stopped and then started again by gpxview). Maemomapper has a similar problem (gps goes on and off) so i think it must be something in diablo and the gps-driver / handler what goes wrong. GPXView showed the bars then during fix time, just like i requested.
Now for one request.
When exporting the gpx to maemomapper pois, is it possible to put the waypoint name in front of the cachename (the one you put in the description part) Something like
[0C56B8] - Dorfaue
So when you tip on a poi in maemomapper, you get the waypoint right away...Would be nice (at least for me
) so i hope you find it useful too. Tap and hold the poi to get the waypoint in the description part takes so much longer...and you could also put the real description of the cache there....
Thanks MiBi
