Version 1.1 in review by Apple

Today I send the new version for a review to Apple. Last times it takes 7 days from the submit to the release.

In this time I will update the content of the manual and of the homepage. Also I will go caching in the real world 😉

Crash after Cache Search

At the moment the server of GCVote is down. This cause a crash directly after search for caches through the Geocaching Live API or after importing a gpx file.

As a workaround until the server is back again, go the the configuration in L4C. In the section “Download” you can turn the download of GCVote downloads off.

Preview: Images and local logs

Some news from the development.. I´m finished with the implementation of the trackables and went forward with the image upload while loging a cache. The image will be scaled before uploaded to GC, so it´s not so bad for the data connection.

As next I develop the upload of images to existing logs. This will be able out of the new area user profiles, in which you can see your complete log history.

New Log screen

The next new feature you can see on the screenshot is “Save log only local”. With this option you can store the inchoate log as an extended local field note. In the user profiles you can access the local stored logs, edit them again and send them if finished.
