Get Geocaches... by The Jester - 2018-04-10

I've been traveling for a couple of months and haven't been keeping up with the forums, so I don't know if this was addressed (my search didn't come up with any hits). But I noticed that using the 'Total #' button uses one of the Lite Fomat downloads. Is this expected behavior? Something new from GC? Or have I just been blind to it until now...

I use the Total # button often to see how many the selection will download. I'm planning another trip and am trying to keep a 'reasonable' number of caches for each state in the DB. I vary the minimum number of Favorite points to see where that limit is for each state (i.e.. Florida would return over 2400 Trad/LBH with 10+ points, South Carolina would return just over 400). I also monitor the download balance to make sure I can get them today, or must wait. When the Lite Format balance started going down, it puzzled me until I tracked down what was 'using' them

I've just tested this.
Checking the Totals from the GetGeocaches dialog indeed uses one api call (this behaviour is from the beginning when this feature was invented.).
Doing the very same (or just similar?) call per macro* does not count against your api limit.

Has someone here already made something for this? I was looking into Custom URL's og perhaps a macro, but if there is something ready for use already, I rather use that instead of making something myself.

You've posted in the Feature Requests forum, but it sounds like you are exploring creating a macro. Is this a feature request? If so, I'll add the required Poll. If not, I'll move it to the macro support forum. smile.gif

PS - I don't use One Note, but this probably could be done with a macro using the RunPgm command to open One Note and pass parameters to it (e.g. a combination of cache information from GSAK and parameters One Note understands, if any). I do something similar (using Notepad) in the EditDescription macro (here). smile.gif

PPS - if you let me know what you want to copy from GSAK to OneNote (e.g. cache code or cache name or today's date or....) and any OneNoteswitches you want to use (from the link above) I can put a macro together for you, but you will have to test it (since I don't have OneNote installed on any of my devices). My plan would be to copy the data being transferred from GSAK to the Windows clipboard, then use the OneNote /Paste command to drop it into OneNote, ready for you to add additional information). wink.gif

Command line parameters work fine for programs that support it, but Onenote is best used with a REST api.

It would be a nice feature to have support for this in GSAK, but perhaps it is out of scope for what GSAK is meant to be.

But support for generic REST api's would be a nice feature to have.

It's by design, so the answer is you have "blind to it until now".

Google Maps V3 - Class not registered by GEO-BREIN - 2018-04-10

It's been a while since I've used GSAK - actually since I've been geocaching.

Yesterday I started again and I wanted to update my GSAK database. After making a filter and wanting to see every cache of that filter on a map using the macro Google Maps V3 I get the following error message (see pic): Class not registered.

What can I do about this? For the moment I can't use this macro because of it.

I already tried to uninstall the macro and re-installing it, but still that same error message. Installing the macro on somebody else's laptop (and GSAK) was no problem.

You didn't directly answer my question, so I will assume this is a feature request and will add the required poll.

Yes, as Difool said, it is by design, in that the Geocaching.com API currently does not provide another way to get that information.

This could be that you have no association on your computer configured to open .html files in a browser. Reset the default file association for html files. You can probably do this in your browser preferences or tools.

Or, in Windows Explorer:

1. Right-Click on the .html file created by the macro.

2. Select 'Choose Default Program'

3. Select your normal browser.

If this isn’t it, then this might be the wrong forum for help. This is a problem with your computer not knowing how to open html files, not a problem with GSAK or the macro.

Genetic is tricky as most REST APIs require the running App to register as a developer and obtain credentials, often through OAuth. So not only would GSAK have to register with an unknown number of APIs, but would also have to deal with their different authentication methods.

Welcome to the GSAK Forums! biggrin.gif

This probably is a Windows DLL issue, but let's start with a question: What version of GSAK are you using (the version number is shown towards the left end of the GSAK window title bar, and the current version is 8.7.1.53)? Per the macro library post for this macro, it requires GSAK 8.6.1.23 or later. Updating GSAK to 8.7.1.53 may not fix the problem, but it won't hurt.

Assuming you have the current version of GSAK or installing it doesn't fix the problem, please try restarting your computer to see if that clears out the cobwebs and fixes the problem.

If not, follow the troubleshooting steps outlined here - i.e. change your default browser, then change it back (e.g. from Chrome to Firefox then back to Chrome); run a file scan; or use Component Services to address the issue. (If this is the issue, it's a Windows problem, not a GSAK problem, and is beyond the scope of these forums). smile.gif

Edit: cross posted with lignumaqua - I'd try the answers we both gave until you find a solution! wink.gif

Thank you clyde and HHL for the useful information.

You can change the sym tag on the fly (whilst Send Waypoints ...) by using this feature:
https://gsak.net/help/hs6580.htm
Do a former export with custom symbols (what your screenshot is showing).

Then check the appropriate checkbox.

Gives this (example):

I don't know if this will work. But it seems worth a try. ;-)

IIRC, geocaching dotcom has removed the "description" field from images. All you get now is the caption. Not sure why you still see "description" still in the Publish Logs Images window.

.....and if, as your screen caps suggest, you're only sending three or four waypoints at a time, that would render my previous objection almost moot. I could deal with just three or four waypoints, edit the parking waypoints individually, then delete each after they'd been found.

I was thinking in terms of the number of caches that I send to Nuvi, and update every week. Four databases, totalling 24K caches and waypoints get updated each week. THAT would be a bear to manage, if they were all Favorites, and not just POIs.

That's for test purposes only. Seems pretty obvious for me. rolleyes.gif

No. The "Description" filed is still there. GS removed the "Comment" field.

No. The "Caption" field was removed (click here for Clyde's announcement, based on correspondence from Groundspeak). GSAK still shows existing captions, but they cannot be edited.

OK, I've been using this work flow for the past three years and never noticed the Life Format use. I'll blame my old eyes for missing it before, and the cataract sugery a few months ago for now being able to see it... tongue.gif Thanks.

I looked back. Hans, you DID have just three, but in Artemis&Apollo's earlier post with a screengrab, they were only moving four. Yeah, it could have been just a test there, as well. But if I've learned anything over the years, it's that different people cache differently. Until I discovered the wonderful world of large capacity GPSrs and POI Loaders, and started moving 24K caches every week, I would only load a few dozen carefully chosen caches at a time. Of course, that got old after a while, which is what prompted me to seek out the bigger GPSrs. rolleyes.gif

Yeah, I knew ONE of them had been removed. Just got it backward. tongue.gif
