Basic waymarking detection and handling

sernikk 4 years ago updated 3 years ago 3

This would be a continuation of the Facebook post from here:
https://www.facebook.com/100013565820060/videos/1086471195148398/

As proposed by the app-creator I would like to ask for GCDroid to be able to correctly detect waymarks, as not-geocaches. Currently, most of the waymarks are not opening - instead, the app tries to open a weird random geocache, with not even a similar code.

Here is a different video showing the problem and everything:

1. A waymark not loading properly.

2. Then a waymark loading properly.

3. The fact that there already is a link to open the waymark in the browser, so there is no need to add this ;)

Youtube video

Proposal: Please prevent GCDroid from doing this weird thing shown in the video. Some waymarks are loading correctly (and this is clearly because of an error in loading a cache), with very basic info, but this is fine. So clicking on the info button in this case (foto):

should not try loading a geocache, but instead displaying basic information from the gpx file (like it did in the second case in the video).

This would already be enough :)

Could you please provide me a GPX file that matches what you have?

Otherwise it is hard to test.

Sure, there is a link to a gpx download: https://mega.nz/file/hbYFjaIa#cLrTdg2VTsm0tBnIC77SghQGyKUYJ4_tcxYi_7OVlBU

Handling many sorts of gpx files would be very good.

The issue is not there anymore in 2.3.0
Thanks a lot!

I guess the dev forgot to do a check here :)
