I have tracked it down. This bug was introduced with another fix for GPX import. I'll get this released as soon as I can.

The evidence points to a new bug in 2.7, but I haven't tracked it down yet.

Thanks for your quick response!

Here's how I go about getting geocache information:

I download GPX files from geocaching.com to a personal file on my desktop pc. Then I copy them via drag-and-drop into a file on a storage card I keep permanently in my PDA.

Next I open BCN and click on the Data tab. I import each new GPX file individually (although it would be really cool to import multiple files at once!  Wink  ).

After the files are imported, I open the List tab, click Action > List > Waypoints. All the imported files now show up in the List tab.

Now I'll click on a geocache and click Edit. The Waypoint Data screen opens. Up until now, when I click on the Geocache tab, I'll get the text that is on that particular geocache's geocache.com page. The description, the logs, the clue - it usually shows up here. With the new update, this screen is blank. It displays the words, "Geocache Information", the name of the cache, the word "Description", the "Reveal Clue" button and the three tabs at the bottom of the screen but that's it.

The glitch seems to affect every GPX file I import. I also have Smache loaded on my PDA and it shows all this data just fine. There was never a problem with BCN up until I downloaded 2.7.

If there's any other information I can give you, please let me know.

Thanks!

Well, after the 3rd reset it just "started working". 

I'm happy that it worked. But sad because we may never know why it didn't before.

To be fair, the WM6.1 I'm running on my phone is officially not supported by T-Mobile (WM5.0 is highest they provide).  The outstanding folks at xda developers (http://forum.xda-developers.com) cook their own custom roms for WM6.1 and provide them to folks like me with older hardware/phones.  Roll Eyes  As far as I could determine, it really only took one reset once I had both the .NET runtime and backcountry nav installed successfully.  I finally figured out I had to use the "copy to PDA and run" installation method due to the PC based exe installer installing to PDA main memory, not storage card, causing PDA to run out of memory during BCN install portion every time.  But BCN starts everytime without a hitch now that everything is installed and happy.  I'm eager to go outside and test it with GPS signal + maps!  Cheesy  But then I'm stuck at work until then.   Cry

I have a T-Mobile MDA running WM6.1 and am not having much luck trying the trial backcountry navigator.  Undecided  I installed the software fine, but when I run the program, I see a spinning icon for a few seconds and then it quickly goes away.  I saw this thread with backcountry navigator running on a WM6.1 tilt but couldn't find the indicated version recommended.  I'm assuming the latest version runs on WM6.1?  Any tips would be greatly appreciated.  BTW, I'm currently running Garmin XT map software using my Holux 1200 bluetooth gps receiver.  This handles my road navigation fine but I need geocaching/iso map info while offroad  Grin
Thanks!

Well, after the 3rd reset it just "started working".  Shocked

Connected to the gps, downloading topo and arial maps as I type!  Cheesy

Tell me more about the situation.

Is this s file where that geocache information was showing up before you installed version 2.7.0?

Or one where you imported a GPX file and it didn't show up?

You may need to send the GPX file to support for analysis.

Hi,

I just downloaded version 2.7.0. For some reason, there is no data showing in the "Geocache Information" tab when looking at the "Waypoint Data" screen - no text, no logs, no clues - nothing.

Did I forget to change a setting somewhere? I re-installed the software twice & the problem is still there. I'm using an HP iPAQ hx2495.

Thanks for your help!!
