GeoKrety.org - new free "Travel Bug"-System

O

ocpl

Geonewbie
Our OC PL user start to create new total free service which is similar to TravelBug(TM) or GeoLutins and aims at tracking things you put to geocache containers.

Current version is still beta but day by day developers working on this system. We have plan to multilanguage version.

You can see and test on http://geokrety.org You can send comments on forum (general is in polish but you can write in english)

http://www.garniak.pl/viewtopic.php?t=1042

Other user from OC PL start to develop other open service "OpenWayPoint" which will be similar like Wyamarking GC.com because we want to move virtual / web cam caches to separate services. On OC system we want to use only for physical caches. I have write about this about half year ago

Looks pretty nice already.
Are there plans to indicate the presence of a GeoKrety in the cache description? Maybe it is hidden somewhere, but I was not able to find it. My knowledge of polish language is limited to tak and pivo... :oops:

Nice work up to now!

Maybe we can use this thread for bug-reporting and more about GEOkrety.org.

btw. Your site is really nice! Open and effective ;)

the "Total Distance" do not summarize the singlie distances from waypoint to waypoint. Should be a bug, isn't it?

:?: I only see English text in this thread.


The sum on the linked page is the sum of all (wrong) single steps on the journey of your traveler. The bug is not in the sum but in the calculation of the single distances.

Oh, sorry.

Anyhow, your test traveler shows 18km traveled distance in total which is the sum of all 2km parts. The bug is elsewhere. And I'm not sure if the starter of this thread is following the discussion here. He mentioned that there is a forum for bug reports where English reports are also understood and welcome.

you're right! I remember, when I added the first waypoint the total distance was 56kms. After adding several other waypoints it went wrong...

I wrote him a PM after pinning his post. So he should recognize the change.

the "TOTAL DISTANCE"-Bug only seems to appear, wenn a OC.de Cache is logged. With OC.pl-Caches (and GC.com Caches because you must type in the coordinates manually) it works.
Maybe the coordinates from the OC.de-Caches are not correctly imported?

Hi,

Yes, developer working on solve problem with total distance. It is problem with entry 2 or more with the same date and hour.

GeoKrety current support Waypoint OC DE and PL to read XY coordiantes but for other listing sites GC.com etc GK use Waypoint only to make link to cache where is located GK.

Thank you for testing and report.

Hi,

I'm filips, a developer of geokrety.org. Thanks for beta-testing, I appreciate all comments and bugs reported.

The 'distance calculation' bug was connected with the possibility of entering the same date of hidding GeoKret. Now I changed the code a bit and it is no longer possible to hide the GeoKret twice with the same date and time. So it should be ok now.

You can post your ideas and comments here (in english if possible).

have a niece weekend,

In fact it was a little bit irritating. Because the time is marked as an optional field, but I have to chance it because I couldn't log another waypoint with it ;)

Generally idea of Geokrety was built tracking system which will be independent on database of caches - look on Travel Bug GC.com but if developers OC code will be add some functionality to show GK presence of GK in desc. of cache OC, it is possible. But now, we must to solve current problems and release first full working system, after this we can think on add extra funcionality of GK system.

Please test current beta version and send report about bug, idea, sugestion etc in this thread.

Hi sp2ong and filips,

integrating Geokrety in the OC code would be fine.

For the beginning i think having an read-only-xml-interface to load Geokrety's would be enough ...

If we can help to translate Geokrety from english to german, let us know!


Thanks,
Oliver

It would be very niece, but - as sp2ong wrote, first we have to cope with current problems and release the first working version.

If we can help to translate Geokrety from english to german, let us know!

Thanks, it is planned after the first release.

A kind of compromise was reached: we have three types of log:
- chcange location (if you put GeoKret to the cache)
- stop in the trip (if you dont plan to put the GeoKret into cache in next few days)
- a comment
We encourage you to test all options and share your comments.

Also we are looking for a logo for our service. As the name is GeoKrety (it is GeoMoles) it should be a mole - maybe with a compass, gps or a spade. Of course the licence of the logo should be not restrictive.

And, by the way, if you notice any language mistakes in our service, let us know (may be in this thread).

Have a niece weekend,
filips
