Application that shows Lat/Long etc without maps?
- I'll keep trying, but after http://gpsnavigation.googlecode.com/files/BlackStar.jad link destination pops up on my bold with the B* download screen... and then whenever I select download I get a moment of status bar, say 15% and then I get a pop-up "download failed".
I've tried several times, with wifi as well...
I remember this happening before, way back, and when I tried a few times or maybe it was on wifi it finally worked... Guess I'll keep trying
First Error
Error Details
Any ideas03-15-09 07:45 PMLike 0 - I was successful at downloading.
Altho, I did forget how to load the LOC file as it is not on the Main Menu!!!
The bcache login/password does not work for the general (non-premium) geocache website, I gather??
Is there something to spur it to calc distances. I was looking at the list screen and they all showed ZERO distance for a minute or two. I even went searching for a menu. I only had the 20 nearest loaded at that time. And NO FONT change available for the cache list screen?? I changed both fonts to 25 but that was still rather tiny.
I should definitely add - THANKS VERY MUCHLast edited by F2; 03-15-09 at 08:06 PM.

I no longer had B* on my Bold since my last OS upgrade with wipe and not reinstalling B*. So, I continued to have this download error today with the "new" version. But in hindsight, it was bringing up the old version???
OK, So I did a battery pull and look at what the same link gave me this time; see second screenshot... Theres Version 1.4 , and it worked.
Weird... riddle me that? Anyways, thanks guys very Looking forward to trying this new version.
1.3.3.5
1.4

The bcaching.com website is only applicable to Premium Geocaching members as they are the only ones able to generate GPX files.
When you import the caches, it automatically comes up zero, the only time it recalculates the distances is when going INTO the list waypoints screen from the main screen.
The font changes were for the main page only. Sorry. If that is well received, we may be able to expand it to other pages03-15-09 08:45 PMLike 0 -
Also, the new night mode do (nice btw)
leaves a white line of about 5 pixels thick across the bottom of the screen on the main screen and is still mostly white on the waypoint screens.
Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com03-15-09 09:38 PMLike 0 - Can't wait to download the new program. Waiting on a new 8110 because this one's screen's display went blank (good thing it's within warranty).
I used B* on a road trip around the east coast on spring break from Penn State, and the last version worked great! I've gotten a few people hooked themselves on geocaching. It seems like you're reading my mind with the updates you put in!
Hey - maybe you could think of adding some sort of "breadcrumbing" option? As if to trace the route you've taken onto a map.
great work so far, though.

So, I started a new thread. Please start using the new thread located here: http://forums.crackberry.com/f41/bla...ng-app-183917/
Also check out our new website BlackStar Navigation
Thanks for all your support and enthusiasm, lets continue it on the other thread.03-16-09 08:06 AMLike 0 -
- do i need a special gps chip for this to work or does my tmobile 8100 have gps built in already?
thanks
g03-30-09 02:26 AMLike 0 - Ok, after spending a good deal of time reading this thread and not even making it halfway through, I decided to just post my questions and take the wrath if it has already been discussed. I am a casual developer, a casual geocacher, and extremely cheap. So naturally this application caught my attention. Have all the different names used in this thread been merged into the BlackStar project? I would like to know where the current code is kept. I have seen links to both google code and sourceforge. Also, are you using the standard RIM JDE or something like eclipse? Lastly, I am by no means a Java expert, but I would love to help out, is there a log of requests or planned features that I could start working on or are you just implementing your own ideas and ideas from this forum? Thanks and I look forward to helping if I can.04-26-09 07:03 AMLike 0
- I believe they have been merged (although, I don't recall everything discussed in this thread so there may be separate offshoots).
The message just above your is from the "keeper of the key" and his signature has the appropriate links to Black*.
There should also be a separate Black* thread here abouts - you may have to look back a page or two in this subforum (I'm heading oout on a hike so rushed....)04-26-09 09:09 AMLike 0 - Ok, after spending a good deal of time reading this thread and not even making it halfway through, I decided to just post my questions and take the wrath if it has already been discussed.

Right now things are moving along at a hectic pace as Paul and Daniel are working on a new release. I have been lazy the past couple of months .
I appreciate the offer for help, we will need to see where we are when the dust settles on the next release. Feel free to check out the BlackStar forums at Blackstar Navigation - A free geocaching hiking and navigational utility for BlackBerry devices
Also, I started a new thread in this forum with the last release since this one was getting too large. It is http://forums.crackberry.com/f41/bla...ng-app-183917/04-27-09 09:11 AMLike 0
