DNF icon in map

Hi,

while "log visit" change visible "Found it" with arrow down button opening window to "Didn´t find it" and confirm

Hi, balloni55.

Thank you for replying.

That works manually, but I would like Locus could recognise the already existing DNF caches when fetching them via G4L.

Besides, I have Locus Addon FieldNotes installed, and if I do this manually it will add a log to it, when that was already done before.

Hi,

perhaps i missunderstand you question....

>how can I make my not found caches.......<

do you mean:

- caches you have not searched for yet ? this caches are always visible with it´s cache icon Tradi, Multi, aso.

or

- caches you have searched for, but you didn´t find them and you have logged them already "DNF" inside Geocaching.com ?

these caches are visible for me on map after import or update via GC4L as blue smiely

It's the second option you've listed.

I've already marked them as DNF at GC, but when I download them with GC4L, they don't show the blue sad smile, only the icon related to the cache type (tradi, multi, etc.)

>I've already marked them as DNF at GC<

to be sure, you have logged this caches as DNF at GC? or what means "marked" ?

for test download the gpx file from listing of one of these caches with PC and open it with a editor

and compare:

groundspeak : type>......

DFDC Mirost</groundspeak:text>
        </groundspeak:log>
        <groundspeak:log id="545251005">
          <groundspeak:date>2015-09-30T21:04:15Z</groundspeak:date>
          <groundspeak:type>Didn't find it</groundspeak:type>
          <groundspeak:finder id="1667155">balloni55</groundspeak:finder>
          <groundspeak:text encoded="False">Leider nicht gefunden

Yes, they're logged at GC.com and they appear at their live map as DNF (with the blue icon), but not when I import them with GC4L to Locus.

Puh, difficult task

please verify your

login inside locus/Geocaching tools/profil

and as well as in

GC4L/setting/login

both logins must be identically as your login inside GC.com where you have logged these caches DNF

If you have no success, please share a GC-Code of one cache you have logged DNF short time ago

BTW: are both apps are on current version??

I had a problem with Locus login, because I was logged but no user was listed. I had to logout and enter again, and now my user is listed. The login with GC4L is ok.

Unfortunately, the DNF icons still don't appear in the map.

I've tested with GC6JX6V, which I've deleted from Locus databse and imported back with GC4L. Result: the icon that appears is the wherigo icon, not the blue smile.

About the versions:

Locus -> 3.25.5

GC4L -> 2.1.5.5 (c269682)

Hi all,

I can confirm this bug (successfully simulated) and will inform Arcao, author of the GC4L addon.

Thank you balloni55 for helping understand the problem and Michal for confirming it.

Let's hope Arcao can correct it.

Regards.

Hi,

I've discussed it with Arcao and it seems the problem is in Locus - we have to wait one more week until Menion is back from his vacation.

Thank you, Michal.

Hi guys,

complicated problem to be true.

To correctly display DNF log, it is necessary to have existing field note record in Locus Map itself. This may be achieved currently only by a logging directly over Locus Map app, sorry.

Anyway, I've just made improved system little bit, so it will be possible to:

1. import Pocket Query with own finds from https://www.geocaching.com/pocket/default.aspx , at bottom "My finds > add to queue". This fill all found and not found logs into field notes manager. This PQ anyway really contains only "found" logs
2. import your caches as usually and it should be correctly marked as found

Hope this at least partially helps. It should be also possible now to export not found caches with it's logs from GSAK or other tool and import them into Locus. This should fill missing logs into internal field notes database and later correctly mark not found caches.

Actually, I use the Locus FieldNotes add on, and I would expect that, at least, my DNF notes there could be used by Locus to mark the DNFs in the map. It's not a big deal, but it would certainly improve the user experience.

I'd like to disable this new feature. It does interrupt my normal workflow.

When I now do my daily export from GSAK and import it to locus I first have to delete all these files fieldnotes. Because later I import all fieldnotes back to GSAK.

Please let me disable this function.

Thanks Wolfgang

Hello Jelle

Yes, for me it work

Wolfgang

Mmh strange, by my it not work.

In the offercial geocaching app I see the sad face.

And in Locus Map pro not. Or is the reasson that Locus Map pro read only 30 logs?

It was working for me strangely lately as well.

Try to "download logs" instead of "update", it may work as a workaround.

May be related to:

https://help.locusmap.eu/topic/last-updated-is-not-updated-any-more

some ideas:

- are you logged in with your cacher name "jelleruben78" inside locus and GC4L?

- did you run "update cache"?

Yes I logged in, yes I have updated the caches

Hi Jelle,

please check you are logged in also in Locus Map, not just in G4L addon (check it in menu > more > geocaching tools)

Michal, Locus team

Allright. I don't know what I more can say or let youknow.

I been loggedin on two places G4L and in Locus map (you have seen my screenshots) or must I set more settings else where?

Have you logged DNF through Locus, or through website?

So I have reset Locus map pro.

And login on. I see e my name on G4L addon and by "menu > more > geocaching tools".

I turn "live map" on.

Sadly I don't see the DNF smiley's.

Do I forget something. Or is there aproblem? Or are the DNF only shows if your register the DNF in Locus Map.

I just tested if "Live-map" shows blue DNF smileys. And it does.

within GC4L > settings > filter:

- Did you turn off any cachetype, size, difficulty, terrain (otherwise this caches won't be shown)?

- Did you turn on "show deativated caches"? (otherwise those caches and some extra caches wont be shown)

GC4L > settings > receive data:

- Did you turn off "DNF, NM, NA-caches switch off"? (otherwise in combination with the option above some extra caches wont be shown)

I tested this strange behaviour of DNF-smileys in detail and hope that it could be solved Locus team:

1)

If importing a GPX-file of a DNFed cache AND there's no field-note of this cache in Locus, then there's NO blue smiley on the map as well as on top of the "Basic info" tab of the cache. => NOT OK

2)

If importing the same GPX file a second time, Locus displays a blue smiley on map + "Basic info" tab, cause after the first import Locus for some unknown reason created a virtual field note ()which can not be uploaded to geocaching.com) which triggers the display of blue smiley. => OK

3)

If creating a field note with a "DNF-log" of a former unlogged cache: Locus changes former Cachetype-icon to blue smiley. => OK

4)

If running Live-map, the behaviour is like in 1). If there's no field note present, icon is Cachetype. If fieldnote is present then blue smiley. => DEPENDING ON API-CONTENT

In case of 1) Locus should also display a blue smiley if there's no field-note present, since it has already got the necessary DNF-info within my DNF-log in the GPX-file.

In case of 4) I'm not sure if it's possible, depending on if API sends a DNF-info. Maybe also depending on if API send some of the latest logs. If API sends DNF-info or my DNF-log is withing this latest logs, then also display a blue smiley.

There's been another old thread, which also covers this problem:
