CacheTrack 1.11

If you are using any older version of CacheTrack please upgrade to 1.11.

Especially if you are experiencing problems when opening GC.com's GPX files.

CacheTrack Version Confusion

Since November 11th Groundspeak is using the old GPX format again. (see http://forums.groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=235742 ). Because of that version 1.10 of CacheTrack can't be used for GPX files downloaded after that date.

So my advice is to use 1.9 again. The next version will be more agnostic regarding the differences between these two formats.

CacheTrack 1.10

Now CacheTrack can read GPX files created by Geocaching.com again. The problem was that Geocaching.com changed their XML format. Please note that you can not use old GPX files with CacheTrack 1.10 and later anymore.

My new blog

My new blog is available at: http://blog.mobile-j.de

In the future I will use this site to more and more focus on my shareware / freeware projects and use the blog to write about software development.

ProGuard 4.4 is doomed

The first release of CacheTrack 1.9 was broken. The binary you can now download is fixed. The problem was that this version wasn't able to draw OSM maps anymore.

The problem wasn't my fault but was caused by ProGuard 4.4. In the past I used version 4.2 which worked pretty well. Now I switched back to version 4.2 and everything is fine again.

So if you (as a developer) run into problems with your obfuscated production code try to use version 4.2 of ProGuard and save yourself of a lot of trouble.

What to do if CacheTrack won't load OSM maps anymore

If you experience problems when loading OSM maps you should try to clear the cache. (One of the options on the main screen of CacheTrack).

In many cases this will help you.

CacheTrack 1.9

CacheTrack 1.9 is now available. The application now supports SpoilerSync. Just let SpoilerSync download the spoilers to the directory on your phone where the GPX files are located and use the usual "Load Image" option to see the spoiler images.

See CacheTrack

Next version of CacheTrack

One of the features for the next version of CacheTrack will be support for SpoilerSync.

You don't even have to downscale the images since CacheTrack can do it for you when needed and you have the full sized image with all it's details in your pocket if you're in doubt. CacheTrack's image viewer allows you to scroll to any section of the image if it doesn't fit to the screen. So you can inspect the important details or look at an downscaled version of the image.

CacheTrack 1.8

CacheTrack 1.8 is available for download.

New in version 1.8

• some bug fixes
• more sort options for caches
• view multiple caches as waypoints and use Google Maps images

OSM Maps Preloader working again

The Map Preloader is now working again.

It now uses API instead of XAPI and downloads a smaller portion of the map.

Future versions of CacheTrack will do that, too.
