Umm oerhaps the DB could do with being broken down into regions or area??? Allow users to dload only the areas of interest to reduce the workload on GE???

Bober , Wiffi link.com will send you a free 500mW unit if you do a little spam for them in either a blog or a forum..

YEah BoBeR, is a full 1 watt... Drawback.. twice the power draw as well

Welcome to the club, BoBer. All we ask is that you keep your hat clean, k? Cant wait to see your scans Alpha/Realtek units ROCK!!! Check out http://www.wifi-link.com/ .. they hav 1000mW units available now.. Drool drool drool :mrgreen: Warscout is currently running an Alpha/Realtek 500 USB right now...

YEah I really liked it too.. started to seem a little repetative towards the end... But I love building critters. ANd aircraft... Ummm.. most of the time if another society starts demanding tribute, as long as you don't open thier messages, they will let you be. My laptop is BARELY able to run Spore...

Yeah Spore rocks.. have you located earth yet?

My mothers compter is still acting up, too. Certain programs, mostly disney branded games, will run for a short time and then just flat shut down.. no error messages or anything. We checked up on all the compatability settings. All is good... The antivirals didn't catch anything. Was surprising to m...

Everyone ok?? or did we get into one of those "no new posts" feedback loops...

LOL

Do you still have the software package that came with your garmin?

ha ha ha ha ha ... I wae suprised this moring... I did not wake up to "MOM! Stephen's touching me!!"

Ah ha! I thought it would be something like that, I just wan't sure of the syntax.. Thanks 'Drew!
I'll see if I can get time to mess wit hthis next week.. got 4 kids this weekend.. well, you know the chaos inherent in that! PHEW!

Yeah, re: csv and forums.. I have started to encapsulate everything in a .zip coating. helps it slide down

Remember Andrew, anythig you add to CSV you will want to duplicate in the add/edit waypoints. I Thought I would try a few simple mods to alpha6, like adding a space between the DD and MM.MMMM input and output strings to learn AuIT... Found the strings, but not certain on how to add the " "...

That is frikin awsome Phil!! Take a brake and enjoy a cookie!

Good, Phil.. good good work... Took alpha 6 out for a workout today... Oh and Wife got us a "premium" membership at Geocaching.com Allowed us to batch download .gpx files ( pocket queries). Imports went well, export to XML went well. No functional issues. there is a litle learning curve in...

No that woud be a good idea, andrew. That would be good. it wold provide more "sort and find" abilities later.

I noticed that the loc import can only take 84 or so caches.
I am happy you and phil are having a good time with this.

Actually, my wife isn;t the hiking type.. you would be astonished how many caches are hidden behind guardrails and under lightpole basecovers. I like the Vistumbler name as it is as well... Oh, I don't do aim ACK! Personal grudge against AOL for what they did to ICQ... Took a nice simmple 'homey' me...

Excellent site for all things wardriving... Found a few items out of date and forums didn't seem to want to cooperate ( internal errors) Only thing they lack is a link to Vistumbler

I thkink we need to get together with IM's ... name your poison? Yahell or Messenger?

Re Vistumbler....I like that name too... implies the visualisation aspect of the program. Winstumbler would work, but then there would be the expectation of playing well with XP

Gee, I kinda started something, huh? LOL.. I've been told I am good for that! Gee Phill, did you get lonley? ha ha ha Andrew, AutoKML will rock.. Don't need to get too fancy on the graphics, though. I have been using GoogleEarth to manually enter caches for a few weeks.. I have been using a simple c...

Alpha5 is working well.. haven't got to cache with it yet...

I thought of that ... Switched between the three... No response with kernal or OCX.. which is normal with my GPSr.. I get dings from netcomm and running as script is not showing any error messages. I'll piddle with alpha6 next day or so. Planning a field test of alpha4 tommorrow. Yeah Alpha 4 is run...

Phil, is there a discount bookseller in Rutherford called "Half Priced Books"? Wife and I were visiting our local brance.. Of course I had to check out the computer books/software section... they had LT-20 GPSes for 20 bucks

Just tried build alpha 5. GPS funtion not ..well, functioning... Alpha 4 is good. Specific Netcom32 interface

hmmm... Well it seems to be working okay now.. I think what was going on is when I was entering the DDMM,MM, I was not including a space between the degrees and the minutes..

Has the delete button gone functional yet?

I dunno andrew, I am very carefull with coords... I'll play with it a little bit more

Here is cap of the error.. I think maybe a misplaced decimal somewhere?? The test coords is a location between 3 and 5 Km from my home coords.

well, that would be nifty, I suppose, what I am saying , though , is when I enter the coords as straight DDMM.mmmm, it doesn't seem to be translating properly. I have been getting bogus distance/range results

so could we go with Options==>Coodinates format==>(Input/output)?

yes I am being very careful about that.. N 37° 53.713 W 084° 34.081
I strip the degree marks and the cardinals...

I was playing wiht version 0.8 I think it is a usefull enough tool to be published as version 1alpha8 .. Destination is misspelled in the GUI but other than that, I think it is good...

YEah there is something a little screwy going on when entering coords with DDmm.mmmm.. Seems like it is in the DDmm.mmmm to DD.ddddd conversion? The math is definetly off... Entered cache coords for a cache I KNOW is no more than 3KM away and the distance MC is giving is more than 900KM!!! Have we s...

kewl...Dude, I thik we are proof of Einstiens "spooky action at a distance' LOL MC 2A3 is not playing well when entering a blank field. Variable not declared errors. I thnk an error trap is needed with a "please enter value into field" popup or something similar. Tried using the manua...

Yeah this is awsome, I been playing with it I like the auto distance and bearing updating... Wicked! Question about the notes section, Does auto IT allow linkng to webpages? I store the simple versions of the geocache webpages internally for reference. being able to access these through the notes se...

Excllent! GPX import works well! LOC import / export important too Here is format data: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <loc version="1.0" src="Groundspeak"> <waypoint> <name id="GC1ZW1W"><![CDATA[Guide My Sword by DeeWhoa]]></name> <coord lat...

It is a machine sold in the hobby craft stores that is basically a plotter printer with a cutting blade for a pen.. Used to cut paper, vinyl, stuff like that ... Cri-Cut... google it... http://www.cricut.com/

If only I has a cricut machine

Yeah a Vistumbler cling would be a great addition to the Zazzle inventory.. can Zazzle do vinyl?

yeah dunno why just the four of us have anything to say

crao, where is my head? there already is one LOL

Yeah I had thought it was , what with a drop in your foru,ms activity.... Is kewl, life is what it is

Hey Andrew, could we have a subforum catagory titled links or tutorials or knowledge base to the wardriving section of the Vistumbler forums? I would happily moderate it

Hey Andrew.. could I get a status report on V2alpha?

And if it weren't for the massive antennas, how can we Ident our own??

A good wardriver obeys the local traffic laws... :ninja: I get a kick out of the attention, and how people jump to conclusions ... Goober---"Ya'll Stormchasin'?" Me ---"Nah, I figgured we'd sit put an let em come to us" Police officer iin Shell parking lot "I always wanted a...

Wasn't as bad on me as it was MysticWifey... I had chores to keep me occupied...

I may do a loop with my directional in that abandoned mall parkinglot.. a nice slow one... see if I can find more like that.

syeah can be a problem LOL... Nice that some people ( yours truely) actually don't mind sharing... I don't get charged by bandwidth. There is anotherone here in my town "Free Wifi .. Thanks Gillian" that I might keep an eye on as well...
