Title: Download wherigocartridge ?
Post by: balloni55 on September 28, 2013, 18:49:23
Hi,
it is not possible for me to download the cartridge with locus.
If i click in the cachelisting the link to the cartridge, wherigo page opens into locus, i am logged in on this page.
Next i click "Download" , a new Wherigo window opens and i select "Pocket PC device".
Finaly i click "Download now" but nothing happens :-[

I tried with http://coord.info/GC2PC8V
and I can confirm (no direct download possible). Workarround: In Locus call website of Cache (in browswer, i.e. chrome), follow downloadlink.
Its probably not only with downloads for WhereIGo, but also other downloadlinks.
I have not much pain with it, because I seldom need direct downloads.

Hi drucki,
thank you for testing
QuoteIn Locus call website of Cache
of course a possibility, but the direct download will be more elegant ;D
perhaps menion can solve this little Problem 8)

Yes, as far as I know there is no other player for android.

yes, that's correct. Anyway Whereigo is not well supported by groundspeak. They just "let it be", but invest no time into this project. It's same with WhereYouGo. It's almost two years old program where maps not work correctly and some other problems are also unsolved.

Anyway downloading files directly in web browser in cache listing isn't good idea. Listing page is suitable only for viewing and this task should need some extra programming, to handle downloading and storing on card. Because opening web page in regular web browser is quite usable solution, I'm sorry, but I'll not do this.
