Quiz Form

Quiz Form - for free registration of GPSS

(after having GPSS or GPSSppc respond to a GPS)
updated 1130 Saturday 11th August 2007 UK time
please see "other ways of sending Robin your Quiz answers ..." below.
If you don't get a reply within 24 hours, please email me on gpss@compuserve.com
if you have ANY business interest in GPS, please read the business page carefully.

This Quiz Form is for you to help me help you.
Some information such as your GPS lat/lon (Latitude Longitude) is very important, since I use it for my reply giving you information such as what mapping to download. Please have your lat/lon ready in degrees and minutes, in the GPSS 15 character format. e.g. 512382N0003960W as displayed in low centre of the GPSS or GPSSppc screen, or as "last fix" on Ctrl-R form.
Some of the information is to convince me you have done step 1 on the download page. i.e. you have GPSS responding to a GPS.
I like to know who you are, before entering into any detailed email conversation with you. I do not provide useful information to those who remain anonymous. You may read about us on our family, history and contact pages, including our full address. Some information from you provides me with "market intelligence", such as what new GPS products are being used, and other information is optional, such as your hobbies, or mandatory such as your full postal address if you are a business.
Please take reasonable care and be honest in all your answers.
Robin Lovelock, Sunninghill UK. August 2006.
IMPORTANT ! Please understand that any e-mail message sent to Robin, or information entered on the Quiz Form may be stored for later use by Robin. He does NOT encourage this information to be used for bulk e-mailing. His reply may be CCd to others such as a business partner in your country. Please do NOT e-mail anything you regard as confidential. Robin obviously uses discretion if any information is passed to others.
Sorry for all the questions - but it will save us both time later.
If you are particularly lazy or sloppy, Robin may not reply.
If you do not answer all the important questions, Robin may simply ask you more :-)

Your full name (given name and family name) : e.g. David Smith
Your e-mail address : <-- VERY IMPORTANT if you want a reply !
Sorry, but if you were thinking of using a spam-guard site, Robin will not visit URLs in the automatic emails.
- too easy for these emails to be emulated by viral spyware, etc. Just an email address Robin can reply to please.
Have you tested on a Laptop (or Pocket PC) with GPS ? this is step 1 on the download page.
If "NO" should you be filling in this Quiz form ? :-)
Did GPSS (or GPSSppc) work OK (e.g. correct position on World map) ? If NO, see problems? page.
If NO, maybe this form will help Robin help you get step 1 working OK.
Version number(s) of GPSS and/or GPSSppc : e.g. GPSS v5.5 GPSSppc v5c
Type and model of Laptop used with GPS :
Type and model of GPS (or Pocket PC) : e.g. Getrex, iPAQ123, M315, Tripmate, etc.

What version of Windows has GPSS or GPSSppc working with GPS ?
lat/lon :
Please give lat/lon as displayed by GPSS in 15 characters. e.g. 512382N0003960W
Please enter this lat/lon carefully in the correct 15 character format based on degrees and minutes.
This is because Robin uses software to process this form and calculate things like who are the six nearest people using GPSS who you may contact, what mapping you can add, etc. This is the 15 character lat/lon displayed by GPSS or GPSSppc.
What does GPSS speak when it first gets data from GPS ? :

the Ctrl-R Registration Form details : "reg text" (after you enter your name), "date", "PCID", "reg code".

(OPTIONAL - unless you want a free key code) Control-R must be done on the same full Windows Laptop PC that GPSS will be used. These details of reg text, date, PCID and reg code must come from the same Laptop PC used with the GPS. You can use paper and pencil to copy these details or use the COPY button on the Ctrl-R Form. This creates REGFORM.TXT with these details. You can copy and paste these details via the clipboard. If you don't understand, see end of the Problems? page.
Are you on PAYPAL ? (OPTIONAL) - tells Robin how popular PAYPAL is.
country : e.g. USA, UK, Zambia, etc. (USA not usa or United States)
state or province : e.g. CA, ZH, Berks (not California or Zuid Holland).
nearest village, town or city : e.g. Sunninghill (not sunninghill).
house number and street name : ( OPTIONAL unless you are a business) e.g. 22 Armitage Court
zip code : ( OPTIONAL unless you are a business ) e.g. SL5 9TA
Telephone : ( OPTIONAL unless you are a business ) e.g. +44 1344 620775
Fax : ( OPTIONAL )
your approximate age: this may help Robin speak to you at the right level. e.g. 50-60
What best describes your occupation or business situation ?
Please do not be tempted to exaggerate how big you are. It is always best to be honest with Robin, and 'saying you are big' may stop you getting something for nothing :-)
If you are in business, what do you :
sell now ? hope to sell ? ( OPTIONAL unless you are a business )
Why are you interested in GPSS ? :
How did you discover this web site ? :
Before today, did you know what the Geocaching hobby was ?
(information on this hobby is headlined as GEOCACHE at top of first page)
anything else you want to tell Robin ? e.g. hobbies, family, business. ( OPTIONAL )

Please check that all the above details are correct before sending.

If you are not happy with your answers, you can BACK out of this form, using your browser "BACK" button, without sending Robin anything.
This button above should respond within a few seconds with a "thankyou" message. You should receive a reply from Robin within 24 hours. If you do not get a reply, try contacting Robin by a different method below.
