v2.2 (15th Novemember 2009)

  1. Created a new version of CacheBerry for OS 5.0. This fixes the cache download via the browser. Note there is a known issue with sending SMS messages on OS 5.0 which may affect the TextMarks function for users on CDMA networks, waiting on RIM for a fix.
  2. New Twitter functions let you automatically send a customized Tweet on logging “Found It” or “Didn’t Find It” or manually send a tweet at any time from the details screen.
    Under Options | Twitter you can select whether to send Tweets when logging Found and/or DNF, you can specify whether you want to see a preview before sending (the preview also allows you to edit the Tweet and shows characters remaining as your type).
    You enter your Twitter username and password here also and you can check them using the “Verify” button.
    You can edit the templates for the Generic, Found and DNF tweets, templates can contain special tags which are expanded as follows:

    [GC_NAME] is expanded to the GC Name of the cache.
    [TITLE] is expanded to the title of the cache, this value will be shortened if necessary (with an ellipsis) to fit the tweet into 140 characters.
    [URL] is expanded to the URL of the cache webpage using http://coord.info/GCXXXX

    Click the respective "Preview.." buttons to see the template expanded with a random cache.

v2.1.7 (26th August 2009)

  1. The big news in this release is the new Radar View. This view is ideal for searching close to GZ when the compass becomes less accurate because you are no longer moving steadily in one direction.
    The Radar View shows a scaled target with the cache in the center, The top of the screen is North, the cache is surrounded by a gray circle representing the current accuracy of your GPS fix. Your movements in relation to the cache are shown as a moving red dot with a fading trail that represents your previous positions. The radar zooms automatically as you get closer to the cache.
    The Radar has various settings including an “auto” option which allows you to specify a distance at which the compass view automatically switches to the Radar.
  2. The titlebar in the Compass (and Radar) view now shows time and battery level.
  3. Added Waymarking support, now shows a waymark icon, modified details including the waymark type and also can parse the long description out of the GPX where present.
  4. Fixed conversion to decimal on manual location dialog (also increased to 4 decimal places).
  5. Various minor bug fixes.

v2.1.0 (12th July 2009)

  1. Caches SVG components for quicker start-up of compass and GPS screens, especially when switching between screens.
  2. Added a "Fast Start" option to the GPS Options. This keeps the GPS chipset "hot" by polling it at a reduced speed (every 10 seconds). This means you get an instant fix when opening the compass or GPS windows at the expense of slightly increased battery drain. There is a GPS icon on the main screen status bar when this is active.
    Note: the Bluetooth driver works at full speed in this mode at the moment.
  3. Added current time and battery level to main screen title. Will add to compass screen soon.
  4. USA Only, OS 42+. Added support for the TextMarks service (Options --> General). This adds a "Send SMS" menu option to the field notes list and editor screens.
    Note: TextMarks only allows you to only log "Found It" or "Didn't Find It" and comments are limited to about 140 characters. CacheBerry sets any field note type other than DNF to "Found It" (you can edit this in your field notes on gc.com later). Long field notes are truncated to fit the SMS message. You must configure the service online before using it (http://coord.info/textmarks.aspx).
  5. Tracking: Added a prompt when exiting the compass while tracking; "Stop Recording" or "Keep Recording". Shows a footprint icon on the main status bar when tracking outside the compass, the GPS icon also flashes faster. Main menu gets a "Stop Tracking" option when active.
  6. Fixed speed value when using Bluetooth driver (was showing double speed).
  7. Upgraded "Sort --> By Location --> GPS Location" to use new GPS window (with averaging) and now supports the Bluetooth driver.
  8. Faster Sort By Location function. Distance & Bearing columns only visible when sorted by location now.
  9. Fixed minor issues with "Options --> Database" (typo and redundant save prompt).
  10. Now remembers the email dialog settings correctly and the OK button is focused by default.
  11. Now remembers the last folder used for the "Import GPX/LOC" function.
  12. Improved database structure, now uses fewer resources and has room for future expansion.
  13. Database function now opens a full-screen list of databases with management options on the menu.
  14. Database "Save As" function now opens the new database automatically.
  15. Added changed indicator to database icon on status bar and "Save changes" prompt when opening a new database (or closing the current database).
  16. Added "copy to..." function to allow caches to be copied (or moved) between databases.
  17. Added "View Html..." option to cache details menu, this opens the short & long cache descriptions in a full-screen browser window, it will work offline (apart from images). Caches that have HTML content also display "html" and "source" (OS 42+) button on the details screen, you can click these to open the HTML or the HTML Source views respectively.
  18. Add Waypoint: Fixed double save prompt, incorrect unique name warning and now defaults location to last GPS fix (if "Fast Start" is enabled) or parent location. Various other fixes and improvements.
  19. Manual Location dialog: minor aesthetic fixes plus fixed conversion from Degrees/Minutes to Decimal.
  20. Added two new columns for display, Cache Size and Difficulty/Terrain. Also, distance values don't show decimal after 10 km/miles.
  21. Added error reporting function, if CacheBerry encounters an exception or similar problem you now have the opportunity to send an error report (including your comments).
  22. Fixed issue with cache descriptions longer than 64K causing database save problems.
  23. Fixed issue with "Sort by location" after opening database or importing GPX.
  24. Find function now waits for you to stop typing (about .5 seconds) before searching.
  25. Find function now supports '+' and '-' modifiers. Start with '+' to switch to keyword find instead of prefix. Eg. +open-green would find all titles containing the word ocean but not the word the green.
  26. Search menu option now supports multiple keywords with + (default) and - modifiers. Defaults to last search term.
  27. Added alternative course calculation option for 8900 users with spinning compass problem or people with external GPS units that don't report course at walking speed. The calculation uses the bearing between the last two locations that were at least 3m apart, seems to work about as well as the normal course value from the GPS.
  28. Added "range select" for tagging, roll while holding shift to tag/untag.

v2.0.6 (23rd May 2009)

  1. New "Add Waypoint" feature lets you add user-defined waypoints. Currently only "Child" waypoints are implemented. You can set the Waypoint name (CacheBerry creates a default name based on the parent name with a unique prefix), the waypoint symbol ("parking", "stages of a multicache" etc), the location can be set from the GPS or manual entry and you can edit the date, description and comment. User-defined child-waypoints can be exported to GSAK with the appropriate GSAK flags set. User waypoint names are colored red in the main list.
  2. New GPS Tracking feature. The Compass view now has a "Start Tracking..." option, this opens a dialog where you can specify a name and folder to save the GPX track file and set the tracking interval (number of seconds between track-points). If you pause navigation, the current track-segment is closed and a new one opened when you resume. Select "Stop Tracking" or close the Compass view to close the current track file. The GPX 1.1 Track files that CacheBerry produces are compatible with most software including Google Earth, Garmin MapSource etc.
  3. Both BlackBerry Maps and Google Maps functions now show child waypoints in addition to the parent waypoint. You can enable or disable this behaviour via the new "Options | Maps | Show Child Waypoints" option.
  4. Improved detection and organization of child waypoints, previously CacheBerry parsed the list of additional waypoints in the cache description, now it relies on the fact that child waypoints have the same cache-id apart from the two-character prefix. CacheBerry also recognizes the GSAK user-defined child waypoint flag. This is another reason why it is important to use the real GC-name rather than "Smart Name" when exporting from GSAK to CacheBerry.
  5. Fixed compass for Pearl Flip users.
  6. Created a Bluetooth driver for external GPS "pucks", this establishes a direct Bluetooth connection to the puck and should be faster and more reliable that the default OS support. There is a new "GPS" section under "Options" where you can select between "Internal" and "Bluetooth". Note: if you are happy with the way your BT GPS works now then simply leave this setting at "Internal" and CacheBerry will continue to use the BB OS JSR- 179 support.
  7. Improved the "Export GPX" function, now exports all information and preserves GSAK child-waypoint data. GPX files now validate correctly using the "official" GPX validation tool per Topografix. Child-waypoints are exported automatically with the parent cache and there is a new option "User Waypoints Only" to restrict the export to user-created waypoints. Various minor dialog improvements. Export is now very much faster, about 20 seconds to export 500 caches and 200 child-waypoints on a 9500.
  8. Fixed bug with spurious owned count value (red arrow icon on bottom status bar) where ownerid is not set under Options | General. This icon is now hidden if the current cache list does not include any caches placed by you.
  9. Added options under the "Delete" function to delete tagged records and also options to delete child-waypoints, and field notes.
  10. Child-waypoints are no-longer included in the "not found" cache counter on the status bar.
  11. Fixed issue with black-on-black text on the Manual coordinate-entry dialog with some BlackBerry models.
  12. Added alternative method of invoking for Google Maps Mobile. ONLY Select this option if the standard KML method does not work for you (and you have confirmed your APN settings are correct). This option will only display a single cache. On the Storm (at least) there is a bug in Google Maps that prevents the zoom buttons from painting when using this method. To use this mode effectively you should make sure Google Maps is already displaying a map at the desired zoom level, after invoking GMM you can still use the zoom buttons by clicking the screen where the buttons would normally be displayed. "Options | Map Options | Alternative Google API".
  13. Fixed default click action for Pearl Flip phones, now opens cache on trackball click.
  14. Fixed bug in "found-cache" count after refresh. CacheBerry now stores the value, the found-date for a cache (which affects "found" sort order) is established by first searching field notes, then logs and finally setting an early default date if the element is set to "found geocache".
  15. Saving tagged caches to a database now includes child-waypoints automatically.
  16. Greatly improved performance when saving a database, for instance it now takes 6 seconds to write out 500 caches and 200 child-waypoints to a database on the Storm.
  17. Encrypted storage support. CacheBerry can now import files and open databases from encrypted storage (eg. SD-Card).
  18. Added "Memo" type to field notes. Added a new menu option on the "Field Notes" screen, "Add Memo". A memo is a type of field note you can use for personal note-taking, working out puzzles or multis etc. "Memo" field notes are not included when you email or export field notes.
  19. Fixed multi-touch bug on Storm where it was not possible to tag the top row using multi-touch
  20. Tidied up the "Saved Locations" screen and added landscape support for Storm.
  21. Fixed bug where "Cancel" was ignored when sorting by Saved Location.
  22. In the main list, the "F" key now switches focus to the "Find" box.
  23. Added optional mapping of the GSAK "User Flag" to CacheBerry "Tag", items imported from GSAK with the user flag set can be automatically tagged in CacheBerry, when exporting to GSAK, tagged records have the user flag set (GSAK GPX extension). Options | General | Map GSAK User Flag to Tag.
  24. Child waypoints are now sorted by name.
  25. Fixed Compass Proximity Alarm so it now works with manually entered destinations.
  26. Fixed bug causing "null pointer" exception for some new users.

v2.0 (9th April 2009)

IMPORTANT: If you get an upgrade prompt for the module “ZitaFarmSVG””, please answer “Yes” to proceed.

  1. Added support for importing multiple GPX and LOC files from Zip files. This has two major benefits, firstly, if you are on OS 4.5 or better you can now have compressed Pocket Queries emailed directly to your BlackBerry from gc.com, (a data saving of 70-80%) and it will import both the PQ and the additional-waypoints in one operation, and second, CacheBerry can now import multiple GPX or LOC files in one operation, simply Zip them all up (using WinZip for example), copy the zip file to your BlackBerry (SD-Card, Device Store or use Roxio Media manager) then import the zip file using the “Import GPX/LOC” function.
  2. Added support for "child" waypoints. CacheBerry now displays additional waypoints in a tree format, caches that have child-waypoints (that are present in the cache list) display an expand (+) button, select the cache then choose "Expand" from the menu to display child-waypoints which are indented under the “parent” cache. Choose “Collapse" to hide them again. The parent/child relationship is constructed during GPX import. Use the "Refresh" main menu function to re-organize existing databases.
  3. Increased the rendering speed of the GPS Compass view by a factor of 2 or 3, this should make the compass much more responsive, especially on OS 4.5 or earlier.
  4. Added an option to the “Import GPX/LOC “ dialog to delete the source file after import. This is especially nice for emailed Pocket Queries as it then avoids the annoying “Rename” prompt from the Mail application every time you download a Pocket Query.
  5. Fixed browser launching issues on some devices.
  6. Fixed issue on some Storms where CacheBerry crashes with "Layout requested during Layout" exception.
  7. Fixed LOC import bugs, now imports the “GC” name correctly and the “Merge” function works properly.
  8. Added “Zip Attachment” option to “Email Field Notes” function. This option zips the fieldnotes.txt file and attaches the zip file to the email, it is hoped that this change may assist some people currently having problems emailing the field notes.
  9. Added “Start Test” (and “Stop Test”) functions to the compass menu, this function allows you to benchmark the compass display, the frame render-time is shown in milliseconds as the compass displays random values. Intended to support users developing or modifying SVG themes for the compass.

v1.99.94 BETA (21st March 2009)

The big news in this release is the new GPS Compass view but there are small improvements in many other areas.

CacheBerry is now available in 4 flavours:

  • OS 4.1, for OS 4.1 only.
  • OS 4.2+, for OS 4.2, OS 4.3, OS 4.5 and OS 4.6 with no GPS functionality
  • OS 4.2+ GPS, for OS 4.2, OS 4.3, OS 4.5 and OS 4.6 with GPS functionality including geocaching compass.
  • OS 4.7, for the BlackBerry Storm with GPS functionality including geocaching compass.

  1. (OS 4.2+ GPS, OS 4.7) Added full-featured geocaching "Compass View" which works with internal GPS or Bluetooth Puck. Uses SVG graphics and supports user-defined themes (see forum for more details).

    Note: Verizon currently locks out the GPS for all models except the Storm, if you have another model on Verizon you would need to use an external Bluetooth GPS puck.

    If you Have OS 4.2 or better but no GPS you should install the standard OS 4.2+ build to avoid the extra overhead of the GPS functions.

    The Compass View has many options including a user-definable proximity alarm, orientation lock on the Storm, Backlight lock, Nearest Cache search and geocaching.com online search using current location, access cache details and hints directly from the compass screen.

    If using the Internal GPS be patient when you first open the Compass view as the GPS can take up to a minute or longer to obtain a “cold” fix. Subsequent fixes should be within 15 seconds.
  2. Added "Weather.." function to details screen, this will open a current conditions and forecast page for the selected cache location via the popular "Weather Underground" site.
  3. Fixed Log Date timezone conversion issue.
  4. (OS 4.7) Fixed screen height issue when switching orientation, also fixed numerous other UI and touch issues.
  5. (OS 4.7) Added "Multi-Touch" tagging to main screen, you can now tag caches by touching 2 rows at once (or touching the same row in 2 different places for individual caches).
  6. (OS 4.2+, OS 4.2+ GPS, OS 4.7). Added support for device store in addition to SD-Card to various functions.
  7. (OS 4.2+, OS 4/2+ GPS, OS 4.7) Fixed issue with GPX export when exporting multiple caches.
  8. (OS 4.2+, OS 4.2+ GPS, OS 4.7) Added option to specify device store or SD Card as location for databases.
  9. Now restores sort order after loading GPX or LOC files.
  10. (OS 4.2+, OS 4.2+ GPS, OS 4.7) Fixed issues with loading column layout from databases.
  11. (OS 4.2+,OS 4.2+ GPS, OS 4.7) Improved the Field Notes export options.
  12. Fixed issues with "Found Cache" count on status bar. Use the "Refresh" function to fix any existing issues.
  13. Improved browser support, can now invoke browser on many devices where it was not previously working.
  14. Added "Save Changes" prompt to Options.
  15. Now displays trailing zeros on Coordinates.
  16. Now defaults Field Notes email (and export) date to date of first Field Note.
  17. Added geocaching.com "Owner ID " lookup function to Options ' General.

v1.99 BETA (7th February 2009)

  1. In addition to the changes listed below this version also introduces a new version of CacheBerry which is specially optimized for the 95xx BlackBerry Storm.
  2. Improved incremental find function, now has "Find:" box at top of screen, now supports SureType and also Virtual Keyboard support on Storm. By default it searches on title.

    Keyboard Shortcuts (while list has focus):
    Type F to jump to find field
    Type G to jump to find field and switch search mode to GC Number
    Any other key (apart from standard navigation keys) will jump to find field and begin search.
    Note: When using SureType, if you accept a suggestion it will place a trailing space after the word so you may need to hit DEL once to get the desired search result.
    On the Storm, the Virtual Keyboard will display whenever the find field has focus, touch the list to hide the keyboard (click the list to open a cache). Click the find field to show keyboard and start searching.
  3. Fixed "Found" count bugs (count reducing etc).
  4. Fixed date/time bug in field notes, the timestamp in the FieldNotes text file is now correctly converted to UTC from your timezone.
  5. "Attended" is now treated as "Found" for filtering, Found icon and Found count.
  6. Now asks for confirmation before deleting Field Notes.
  7. Database "Open" function now recalculates found count and adjusts found icons.
  8. Refresh function now recalculates found count and adjusts found icons if necessary.
  9. The OS 4.2+ version now checks for SD card on the fly to avoid issues such as opening CacheBerry when connected in Mass Storage mode.
  10. New field notes now default to "Found It!" for quicker logging, if you create a "new Found It!" field note and save it without entering text, the text will be automatically set to "TFTC".
  11. Changed unit option "Imperial (feet/miles)" to display tenths of miles down to 0.1 miles, below that it displays in feet.
  12. Saved Locations list is now sorted by location name.
  13. Added new "Preserve Columns on Sort" option (Options - General). This prevents CacheBerry from changing the visible columns according to Sort criteria (eg. If this setting is NOT checked and you sort by location CacheBerry will add the distance and bearing columns to the display, Sort by Found will add the "Found" column and so on).
  14. CacheBerry now restores the previous sort order after loading a GPX file (via USB, import from SD card or web download).
  15. Added LOC support. You can now load .LOC files direct from a web page or from the SD Card/Device Store (via "Import GPX/LOC"). NOTE : LOC files do not contain any Geocaching information apart from name, coordinates and the geocaching.com URL for the waypoint. This feature is mainly intended to support Benchmarks. Items imported from LOC files do work with the Website, Google Maps and BlackBerry maps functions and you can add Field Notes to them. Benchmarks will display a benchmark icon, geocaches will display the "unknown cache type" (?) icon.
  16. Added "Export GPX" function. CacheBerry will export all caches (or just tagged caches) to a GPX file located on your SD Card or device store. One obvious use for this (until the compass view is released for CacheBerry) is to export one or more caches from CacheBerry then import them into a compass application like BlackStar.
  17. Fixed GPS Location bug which prevented "Sort | By Location| GPS Location" function from getting a fix on some devices.
  18. Improved Registration dialog (you can now copy and paste the registration information).
  19. Added vertical scrolling and default menus to all popup windows (especially useful for Storm Virtual Keyboard).
  20. Added support for Device Store to all functions which previously required an SD Card.
  21. Added new "Database" section to options, currently allows you to specify whether the databases are stored on the Media Card or in Device Store.

v1.98 BETA (25th November 2008)

  1. Memos have been replaced with Field Notes. You can enter as many field notes as you like for each cache, field notes have a "Type" (any of the geocaching.com “Type of Log” options), a date and text.
  2. The “Edit Memo..” option has been replaced by a new “Field Notes...” option, this option has also been added to the main menu for quick access (can be removed via Options | Main Menu).
  3. The new "Field Notes" screen is similar in appearance to the BlackBerry email screen with field notes grouped by date (descending - most recent first) and sorted by descending time. You can add, export, edit or delete field notes from this screen.
  4. Once entered, Field notes are retained permanently so they are always available when importing different GPX files or switching between databases.
  5. The Email function now includes any field notes from the specified date (not just “Found” logs). The entries include the new type information.
  6. The Email function now has an option to attach a field notes text file that can be uploaded directly to geocaching.com (Save the attached file then browse to the geocaching.com “Field Notes” page and select the option “Upload Field Notes from your Garmin Colorado”). "Field Notes" is a great new geocaching.com feature which allows you to log visits with just a couple of clicks.
    NOTE: When you select “Attach Field Notes” the email is sent via the direct method (ie. sends immediately - bypassing the "Compose" screen).
  7. The Email entries are now grouped by cache and sorted by ascending date (oldest first), the Field Notes text files are sorted by ascending date.
  8. The "Field Notes" screen has an “Export...” option (OS 4.2+) which allows you to export all field notes from a specified date to a text file on your SD-card (in the folder CacheBerry\Field Notes), this file can be uploaded to geocaching.com from your desktop as described above.
  9. Added Refresh option to main menu, this resorts and redisplays the caches. This function is there as a convenience in case something goes wrong, you can hide it via Options | Main Menu.

v1.96/1.97 BETA (25th August 2008)

  1. New incremental find feature filters cache list as you type. It will find on “GC Number” or title regardless of current sort order or column layout. Normal BlackBerry navigation shortcuts still work, if you type any character other than a shortcut CacheBerry enters “GC” find mode, the status bar displays the current search key and the list is filtered to show caches with matching GC numbers. If you hold SHIFT and type any key (other than SPACE) CacheBerry enters “Title” find mode, again the status bar displays the search key as you type and the cache list is filtered to show matching titles. To exit either incremental find mode hit DEL until you have deleted the current search key, then once more to exit.
  2. New improved Options screens with plenty of room for future expansion.
  3. Added a second imperial unit setting “miles and feet “ (Options| Units).
  4. Added “Always decrypt hints” option (Options | General).
  5. Added “Direct Email” option, this option will skip the compose screen when emailing found caches, this is especially handy for devices such as the 8703e where the normal email function does not work due to a bug in the OS. (Options | General).
  6. Added “Main Menu” configuration, this allows you to customize the main menu by hiding items you don’t use. (Options | Main Menu).
  7. Fixed display issue on main screen and status bar, no longer clips icons when small font is used.

v1.95 BETA (12th August 2008)

  1. (OS 4.2/4.3/4.5) Added database feature. You can now save and load multiple named databases on your SD-Card via the “Databases...” menu option. You can choose to save all listings or just tagged caches. Databases are a (somewhat) faster-loading binary format, they include column configuration, current sort order and tagged items. Note the option only appears on the menu if you actually have a media card installed.
  2. Added status bar, currently shows count of found and unfound caches plus current database if applicable (see above).
  3. Backlight now stays on during GPX import.
  4. Removed redundant prompt when saving memo.

v1.94 BETA (2nd August 2008)

  1. Added Tagging feature. You can now “tag” multiple records using the “Tag” menu option (or SHIFT-Click for supported devices). Also new “Clear Tags” menu option. Tagged items display with a blue background (unless new “Tagged Items” filter is in effect).
  2. Added ability to display multiple “tagged” caches on Google Maps via new main menu “Google Maps” option.
  3. Added ability to show multiple caches on BlackBerry Maps for OS 4.2+ via new main menu “BlackBerry Maps” option.
  4. Added “Tagged Items” filter which filters display to only show tagged items.
  5. Added title-bar icons for Sort and Filter. These icons show when a Sort order other than the default “Name” order is in effect and when filtering criteria (currently “Hide Found” or “Tagged Items”) are in effect.

v1.93 BETA (26th July 2008)

  1. This build fixes a problem that was introduced with the recent Geocaching.com website upgrade. The new website changed the MIME type for GPX files which meant the CacheBerry browser plugin was unable load GPX files via the "GPX Exchange File" button on the cache listing pages.

v1.92 BETA (19th July 2008)

  1. Fixed reversed Merge/Replace GPX functions in ALX installers.
  2. Fixed “Connection Handler” error in Google Maps function.
  3. Sorts on name and title are now case-insensitive.
  4. Improved Travel Bug inventory function, now has menu with “Website..” and “Copy URL” functions and inventory now supports standard navigation shortcuts.

v1.90 BETA (16th June 2008)

  1. Download GPX from the Web. Added BlackBerry browser plugin to handle GPX files from the Web. This means you can now download GPX files from Geocaching.com or other sites directly into CacheBerry.
    • Refresh existing cache listings (click Website... from details menu then click the “GPX eXchange file” button to import the latest details and logs).
    • Load new caches from Geocaching.com email notifications (move the cursor to the cache URL in the email and click “Get Link” from the menu then click the “GPX eXchange file” button on the webpage).
  2. Added “Copy URL” menu option to details view. This will copy the full geocaching.com URL for the cache to the BlackBerry clipboard.
  3. Minor bug fixes.

v1.5 RELEASE (1st June 2008)

  1. Added additional log type icons
  2. Fixed Pearl navigation key issue
  3. Added save changes prompt to Memo screen
  4. Fixed found date editing issue
  5. Corrected page up/page down behavior on main screen

v1.11 BETA (27th May 2008)

  1. Added "Copy Location" option to Details screen menu. This copies the Cache coordinates to the BlackBerry clipboard as a formatted string suitable for manual Google Map searches or pasting into memos, emails etc.
  2. Added "Copy Location" option to "Saved Locations" screen (see 1. above).
  3. Added Main Screen Navigation keys for Pearl users, in addition to T, B, Space and Shift-Space you can now use 1 (top), 7 (bottom), 3 (page up), 9 (page down).
  4. Added 1/T, 7/B, 9/Space and 3/Shift-Space shortcuts to "Details" and "Logs" screens
  5. Changed "Columns" dialog to vertical scrolling layout for Pearl users.
  6. Changed distance display to fixed-space font and right justified in column.

v1.09 BETA (25th May 2008)

  1. Fixed issue causing BlackBerry Maps to fail when attempting to display certain caches.

v1.08 BETA (24th May 2008)

  1. Added "BlackBerry Maps..." menu option to details screen, this will open the cache in BlackBerry Maps (BB Maps shows it as a marker with the Cache Name/GC Number, use the Details option from the BB Maps menu to view the cache title)
  2. Made some minor changes to allow Options and Find dialog content to scroll vertically for Pearl users.

v1.07 BETA (23rd May 2008)

  1. Added “Show on Google Maps” function. The “Details” screen menu now has a “Google Maps...” option which will display the cache in the Google Maps Mobile application.
    NOTE: you must have Google Maps Mobile 2.1.0 or better (http://mobile.google.com), older versions had a bug which would hang the phone if you attempted to invoke Google Maps without having previously opened it (eg. immediately after a reboot etc).
  2. Fixed a problem with the Delete function, it would only work if the current sort order was “By Name”. Now works correctly regardless of sort order.

v1.06 BETA (22nd May 2008)

  1. Added "Owner" flag. CacheBerry can now display a red arrow in the found column if you are the cache owner. Owned caches are hidden by the "Hide Found Items" filter.
    In order to identify owned caches, CacheBerry needs to know your Geocaching.com "Owner ID" which is a number that Geocaching.com assigns every account. You can find this number by examining a GPX listing for a cache you have hidden, otherwise CacheBerry can attempt to locate it for you.
    To support this feature there is a new "Owner ID" field on the CacheBerry Options dialog, enter your numeric ID if you know it, otherwise you can enter your geocaching.com user-name and CacheBerry will search the current cache listings to find the corresponding "Owner ID". This setting is optional, if you do not enter this value (or if CacheBerry cannot find a match for your user name) the owner flag will not be displayed but CacheBerry will otherwise function normally.
  2. Improved operation for BlackBerry models that do not have a dedicated menu key (eg. 8700 and earlier). Clicking the TrackWheel in the main screen now displays a standard short menu (including "Full menu" option) for these devices.
  3. All popup dialogs can now be closed with the Escape key.

v1.05 BETA (18th May 2008)

  1. Added ”Logs” column. You can now view the icons of the last 3 logs on the main screen using the new “Logs” column (menu --> Columns...). This provides a quick indication of the current status of a Geocache, 3 smileys means it’s probably ok whereas other icons such as “Did Not Find” would indicate you should read the logs before making a special trip!
  2. Added Named Locations. CacheBerry can now save an unlimited number of named locations to use with the “Sort” function. The GPS and Manual coordinate dialogs now include a “Save” button, clicking this will prompt for a name then save the location for future use. When you select Menu --> Sort --> Sort by Location --> Saved Location you now see a list of saved locations, select one of these to initiate the sort. The menu on this screen allows you to delete saved locations, I’ll be adding additional management features in a future release.
  3. Added delete function. The main CacheBerry menu now includes a “Delete...” option to delete a Geocache. I will be adding the ability to remember and skip deleted caches during GPX import in a future release.
  4. Added “Hide Found Items” filter. The main CacheBerry menu now includes a “Filter...” option. This will be developed further into a flexible filtering system but for this release you can choose to hide "Found" items.
  5. Now imports “Found” flag. CacheBerry now sets the “Found” flag for caches marked as found in the GPX file. The “Found Date” is set to the current date and time as this information is not available in the Geocaching.com GPX files.
  6. Fixed vertical scrolling issue on “Import GPX” dialog.
  7. Improved the manual coordinate entry field behavior.

  6. Manual Location Entry. Fixed issue (entry ignored) when entering single digit minute value.
  7. Added support for additional waypoints . CacheBerry will now import the "-wpts" file that accompanies Pocket Queries. Will also import GPX files from other programs that do not contain Groundspeak® data.
  8. Added "Website..." option to listing details menu, this will open the Geocaching.com page for the cache in the default BB browser.
  9. Changed Find Search Title option to Search Title & Name, this will now find matches in the waypoint name (eg. You can find on the "GC number". This is in addition to the incremental search for GC number on the main screen.
  10. Adjusted GPS location dialog to avoid spurious "Acquiring.." messages
