record to be a new cache that you have set out, and needs the information
sent.

be referenced on a
Cache Website (found, not found, cache note, needs to be
archived), and that the notes need to be sent too. |

Solution |
Palm Pro - Palm OS v2.5
One
user reported GeocachingDB crashed when started, with this error
message:
Font.c, Line: 120, Invalid font |
Upgrade to a newer OS should fix the
error.
The oldest version I have tested GeocachingDB on is:
Palm OS
v.3.5.2h1
If you have Geocaching running successfully on an older Palm
OS than 3.52h1 Let me know |

GeocachingDB
on the
PC?
 |
Future versions will include
GeocachingDB-PC a PC program to View, Add, Delete, Edit, Resort, Import
data.. and what ever to the data base file.
Then the file can be installed
back to the Palm device.
I have a rough but working version of
GeocachingDB-PC running here
Thanks to Joel Finkle aka
Arrowroot for all his hard work and code help.
Please be patient
for it's release. |
Printing?
 |
There is a sperate PC app.
TBReports that will print reports from the GeocachingDB.pdb
file that is sync'ed to the PC.
- Download and install
TBReports (free if you use my reports)
- Download my Reports for GeocachingDB v2 (I have registered and
compiled these reports for you)
- Open my reports and see your data on screen as it will be
printed on the printer, Then hit the printer icon and the reports will
print.
note:
TBReports uses the files in the
backup area for the current user in the Palm Desktop,
if you have 2 PDA devices on 1 PC this is
how you switch to each PDAs data area for printing. |
|
Importing Data?
|
I have worked with
GPSBable, their program is now
able to export GeocachingDB.pdb files from other files, such as
geocaching.com's GPX file (available to
charter members using Pocket query).
GPSBabel
Screen Shot
Note: When
GeocachingDB.pdb file is installed to the Palm device, It replaces the old data
with the data contained from the GPX file only!, All old information in the
GeocachingDB is erased. |
