Thanks guys.

I couldn’t find an “Open In” option within the Geocache app I use, but it does allow you to export easily to a Dropbox folder and Dropbox does have this option. So this makes it pretty easy to get the cords over to Pocket Earth.

Hello Bucky. I’ll give iTunes a go.

It’s a shame there’s no way to do this in-app. I hardly ever connect up my iOS devices to the computer nowadays as there seems little need. If this is the only way to get gpx files into PE though i’ll give it a shot.

Many thanks.

Thanks for the info. I’ve since been informed by someone on the geosphere forum that there’s a way to escape these chars. Since implementing this the text is coming in fine to PE.

I wasn’t sure if this problem should be resolved from the app (Geosphere) sending the variable containing the & character or the app receiving it (PE).

Would the complete description text still be within the variable at the point it arrives at PE at which point only the text up to the & is imported, or does this mean that Geosphere is only exporting the text up to & character so there’s nothing extra for PE to import?

ggggrrrrr why is this forum so full of spam?

Thanks to Rob Wolfe over at the Geosphere forum i’ve now got the correct syntax for passing over the details of the geocache into PE. However I still have a problem.

I’ve noticed that if someone uses the & character in their geocache description any text following the & character gets cut off and never makes it over to PE. Not sure if this is a bug or not.

Can anyone help?

Thanks
