In my "review" of the new query system on geocaching.com the other day,
I mentioned that one of my gripes was the reader-imposed limit on
copying of two lines of text at a time. I presume they did it two
prevent wholesale piracy of their commercial offerings, but it made hint
decryption in the field a major problem.
I have just discovered that this issue has now been addressed. All hints
in your selection are automatically decrypted and placed in an appendix
at the end of the e-book. A bookmark to this appendix is automatically
created. So if you want to read a hint, you go to the appendix and you
can either scroll through or do a find from there on the Waypoint ID.
Each hint has a hyperlink back to its description page in the e-book.
Nicely done, problem solved.
It seems they are continually putting in fixes to address a lot of the
issues that have come up, but they don't announce them anywhere that
I've seen. So I usually wind up finding out about them by accident, like
I did in this case. Does anyone know if there's a place where they're
announcing fixes, new functionality, etc. when it's released? Or maybe
they won't do that until they go gold.
