Bugs

I don't like the term "bugs" - I prefer "opportunities for improvement." If you find any opportunities for improvement in GPX Spinner, send me an email, and I'll try to get it fixed. Keep in mind that GPX Spinner takes a back-seat to my regular job and geocaching activities, so I might not be able to fix it right away.

History

I got the idea for GPX Spinner from the original Palmable Indexes. I found that site in late July 2002. I immediately went out and bought a cheap PDA so I could go paperless. Then on August 8, GPX files were introduced and the Palmable Indexes were blocked from updating. Several people, including myself, started working on ways to convert GPX files to something readable on a PDA. In mid-December, GPX files were added to the Pocket Query generator and on December 27, the first version of GPX Spinner was released. This first version only took care of the GPSr side of things, by changing icons based on cache type. Later, on January 6, 2003, support for PDAs was added.

Source Code

I am unable to release the full source code to GPX Spinner. The template routines were developed for a commercial product I was helping to write for a paying client. The company has generously allowed me to use these routines in GPX Spinner, but they will not allow me to share the source.

You may find it interesting that these template routines were originally based on the routines in this product, of which full source is available. The routines in GPX Spinner add grouping and sorting of sub-objects, nested conditional statements, pragmas, and are about 10x faster.

I will be happy to share snippets of code for other routines, however. Just ask.
