Furthermore it now has a hot-key for the text phrase library dialog and the options hot-key now works everywhere (even in the Outlook main window). Plus some small improvements and bugfixes.

For users of plentyMarkets there are also new features and improvements: GLS is now recognized as package service and automatically linked in the info window to their tracking page. The orders are now shown in reverse order, starting with the latest one and the program now includes more text phrases.

More information about the ReplyButler, the free text modules and plentyMarkets integration can be found on the product page.

To use this feature, you have to create a simple text file (for example with the Windows text editor “Notepad”). Each line contains the GC-Number and the North and East or West coords, separated by semicolons. For example “GC1234;N49 12.345;W002 12.345″. Please note that this coordinate format is mandatory. GoogleEarthTweaker does not support other formats here, sorry. The next and final step is to simple enter the path and filename into the respective edit box in the dialog (or use the [...] button to select the file). That’s all. The file can contain as many lines/caches as you can solve.

Enjoy your caching trips!

(Oh, by the way: The moved riddle caches will be marked with a red circle arround the cache in Google Earth. This way you know, that this icon showsreal box coordinates.)

I still got 2 WiFi scratch cards here, which I won’t be needing any more. Each for 120 minutes internet access on the Dhiraagu net. So, if you need them, here you are:

UserID C001929, Password LHNDE6
UserID C001928, Password OOCAP5

(Please don’t use them just for the heck of it. They’ll get void 5 days after the first login.)

So here’s how to.

Before you start:

• Make a backup
• Get some non-magnetized screwdrivers
• Don’t blame me if something goes wrong. This goes without any warrenties.

Step1: Remove the battery and press the power button for a few seconds to remove any remaining energy.

Step2: Turn the Laptop around and remove the 3 screws at the front.

Step3:Turn the notebook around again and carefully pry open the wrist-rest. Don’t pull it away too strong, the touch-pad is still connected with some cables!

Step4: You can see the harddisk at the front right. It’s only held by the ATA cable. Carefully pull it out and exchange the disk. Don’t damage the HD pins, or you won’t be able to revert back in case of problems.

That’s it. Oh by the way: Both Easy2Sync for Files and Easy2Sync for Outlook have “Copy” modes that can be used for a backup. (Not so off-topic after all

The new release simply fixes a bug that could happen with coordinates that have only zeros after the degree sign.

You can find GoogleEarthTweaker on the Download page.

With this program you can convert Geocache GPX files to make them look “nice” in GoogleEarth:

Church caches:

Train stations:

Highway caches:

Night caches:

There are however some tricks:

• You can choose the icon types. Leave them as their normal cache icons by default or use other special icon types for special pocket queries. For example red bars for disabled caches or green checkmarks for caches that you found.
• If you want things automated, you can also use a batch mode. Simply drag a GPX file onto the executable file to see the details.
• If you have many GPX files, there will be quite a mess with the GPX/KML file mix in your Windows explorer. So, simply create a subdirectory with the name “To GoogleEarth”. If GoogleEarthTweaker detects that directory it will store the created KML files not in the directory where the GPX file came from, but in that subdirectory. Then, to import the files into GoogleEarth, simply go to that subdirectory, select all the files here and drag them in the GoogleEarth window.

Try it!
