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!!

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.

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!

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

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.

This should be fixed in 2.7.1.
