Title: Parking waypoint for navigation
Post by: bendtsenhund on January 17, 2025, 10:50:47 AM
I noticed that navigating to a cahe would ask if I want to go to the parking waypoint..great feature.
However it only happened to me once, other caches with P waypoint did not give me that choice ?

Now I can figure out if need at a certain screen ?

Do you have an example GC#? Although you think it has a parking coordinate, it may not be the standard waypoint encoding that the API would use to know it is an actual parking coordinate versus and owner provided waypoint that they said was parking.

Hi again, sorry it took so long, I did use a work around to manually select the parking waypoint.

I found a couple of things

- The parking waypoint is in my actual list for the actual GC.
- Its always a user-defined parking waypoint exported from GSAK that I have created

When I look at the cache in Mapsource or my GPS, the parking waypoints look the same, if they are created by the CO, or if I have done it in GSAK

Without a GC# for me to examine, I'm not sure what to tell you. Again, if Groundspeak has marked the waypoint as a parking coordinate, then Geooh will know it otherwise it is just another waypoint to the app.

But the child waypoint have different types, so you say that a parking waypoint will not be recognized by geooh ?

I do export the gxp files with my list to Geooh from GSAK.

Normally I do not downloading from gc.com

Attached is a cache (event) where I added a parking waypoint

No, I said the opposite... a waypoint marked as a parking coordinate by Groundspeak would be recognized as a parking coordinate by Geooh when downloaded by the API.

Okay but will you support this ?

When planning a tour you often needs to add  a place to park becuase the cache location could make the gps take a route to place where you cant park, and then it makes sense to choose another point

Geooh supports Groundspeak parking waypoints already. I am not sure what more you are expecting. You can always select a non-parking coordinate and navigate to it.

A lot of caches dont have parking coordinates so when I add one of my own I would like to geooh to pick that automatically when I ask to navigate. what happens when I have a customed parking is that its not selected by the app, so I need to go back to the list of waypoints ad select that ........ it just af matter of usability :-)
