Another Android app developed by my Android Course participant published on the Android Market!

Here is another Android App developed by one of my course participants at the Fort Gordon's first Android class. Awesome!

CacheNav is a GPS application that will track your current location as well as plot a point in one of five different coordinate formats (Degrees/Minutes/Seconds, Degrees/Decimal Minutes, Decimal Degrees, UTM, and MGRS). Once you have plotted a point, the distance to your plotted destination is displayed (in meters) at the bottom of the screen. In addition, there are also two map views: Satellite View and Street View.

If you are low on space, this app also has the ability to be stored on an SD Card.

This app is perfect for Geocaching or Land Navigation. Buy it here!

Tip: Missing controls in Toolbox - Visual Studio 2008

I encountered a problem today when I uninstalled my Visual Studio 2008 Beta 2 and then installed the RTM version of Visual Studio 2008 Professional.

When I created a Windows Mobile project, the controls in Toolbox were missing. In place of the usual controls is a tab labelled "#13119". The usual remedy of right-clicking the Toolbox and then selecting Reset Toolbox did not help.

After some searching of Visual Studio folders, I finally found the solution. You need to navigate to the following folder:

C:\Documents and Settings\\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0

And within this folder are some hidden files. Simply remove the following files:

"toolbox.tbd", "toolboxIndex.tbd", "toolbox_reset.tbd", "toolboxIndex_reset.tbd"

Then restart Visual Studio 2008. Your controls should now come back up! ;-)
