That issue has been resolved, and has been updated at that location. For anyone who purchased through PayPal or through our website, you can grab the build from there.

For anyone who purchased through OVI Portal, those build have been submitted but have not been published yet. If you did purchase from Ovi, please wait for the build to get to OVI, downloading from the url that koprnthan posted will have some unwanted side effects.

Re: Problem: Enter Coordiates Manualy

If I have no GPS Sat Fix (for example if I'am in a house) I can enter coordinates manuelly and the program accept them. But as soon as i have a sat fix, the program doesn't accept new coordiantes , entered manually. curious..

Today, I have been caching again and the problem has been solved itself:
I am used to use the left soft-button and the 5-way-middleclick equally as selction button. But GCN only accepts the middle-click... That's why it seemed coincidental. ;-)

Doesn'T fix the problem fpr my Nokia N95.
Still same bug, wether if i use the left or the 5-way middleclikc as selection button. That makes me a bit angry. For what am i paying 18 Euros? :(

Re: Problem: Enter Coordiates Manualy

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think we are talking about two different issues.

The issue that was fixed, is that we were dropping the leading 0 on coordinates... this has been fixed.

If you can't enter a coordinate, it's probably just a Usability problem. With the new text boxes, you need to "select" the text box before you can modify it. you can do so by pressing the "Select"/"Ok" key on the device, or by touching the field on touch devices.

We made this change so that our text boxes would support international characters, and all of the different keyboards out there, but it has had a number of complaints.

Let me know if that is what you are having trouble with, or if I misunderstood your issue.

Thanks.
Bob

Re: Problem: Enter Coordiates Manualy

The problem with is leading 0 is fixed. That’s correct.

And I CAN enter coordinates manually by selecting the text boxes – that’s not the problem. But the GC navigator doesn’t take the entered coordinates as “Goto”. It ever takes the instant (current) coordinates, which are taken by the GPS. So my distance to the next station is everytime 0 metres. It’s the same problem which korntham has:

http://www.geocachenavigator.com/Forums/tabid/228/forumid/13/threadid/1060/threadpage/3/scope/posts/Default.aspx

The only possibility to enter coordinates, is to restart the GC navigator, and enter the coordinates BEFORE the Program has a satellite fix from the GPS receiver. But that’s annoying. Then I can go to the next stage, after GC navigator has the satellite fix. But when I want to enter the next coords manually, I have to restart the Navigator again…
