Hello,

why is it not possible to see the additional waypoints in opencaching.de-pocket queries?

I've imported the geocache " Der Piratenschatz im fürstlichen Ritterswald " and I was not able to see the additional waypoints.

I can see the additional waypoints, if I open the GPX-file with other apps like EasyGPS, GPX-Babel or QLandkarte.

It is because I not know any opencache with waypoints before. (At time of writing opencaching import code.)

Waypoints are not imported, because their name convetion is incompatible with Geocaching.com waypoints. (Why, why , why? :-o) Import routine in the Geoget must be improved. Please, wait for next Geoget version.

Thank you!

Following, the developer of the opencaching.de-team wrote me about three different kinds of waypoints in the Opencaching-Network:

Sweden: WnnOSxxxx (Example)
Poland: OPxxxx Name (Example)
Germany: OCxxxx-[0]n

You have to read the "gsak:Parent" in the GPX-file.

Implemented is German and Swedish style. Polish system is very hard to implemet into internal Geoget logic.
