What's your specific phone? What's your specific Garmin GPS model? Which app are you using - the one Groundspeak provides for free to download or s 3rd party app? Groundspeak doesn't provide technical support for your GPS so I'm not sure why you'd expect them to explain how to get caches on it. In most cases, it will be tedious to do what you are asking. Since you can load a large number of caches on your GPS, why aren't you doing that ahead of time? Except for some exceptions, you'll need to export caches as a gpx file and log the gpx file into your phone.

Any idea why this cache shows as "Temporarily Unavailable" ? https://coord.info/GC5J0GC Is it some odd situation based on it being archived/unarchived? Does GS or the cache owner need to do something?

It just showed up for me and I didn't do anything. I logged the Giga on Saturday and waited. No hacks done on my part. Shows as the 26th in the Souvenir.

Did you do a Google search for PHP GPX? I see a couple of hits that could be what you want and appear to be actively maintained. Did they not meet your needs?

Seems like a good place for an armchair NA

Any update on those that logged on the 26th getting the souvenir to show up without hacking their entry?

I thought this was a discussion about getting a souvenir for streaking while caching.

You can still post a log to clear the NM if there's no longer an action needed.

Adding to my original post, on the main forum page in a desktop browser, click the circle icon to the left of the forum name marks the forum as read without a confirmation dialog. On my iphone, the same action prompts and requires a confirmation. For clicking "Mark forum as read" inside of a forum, both desktop and mobile browsers prompt for a confirmation. It would be great if the site behaved as before and none of them prompted for confirmation.

I had this setup since the last change to forums was done. What I can't seem to do is "mute" threads that are constantly updated in those forums such as the one that turned into the "gimme a 30 day free trial" thread. Am I missing an option to mute threads in forums we follow?

For one, you are the only person who will find the cache exactly how the cache owner placed it. Everyone else will find it as the previous finder replaced it. What's the excitement of anything - getting a hole a one in golf, running a marathon and having your fastest time even though you didn't win the race, etc. Whats the reason people might fill in a find for every calendar day or find a cache placed on every calendar day, fizzy, jasmer, etc. They are all just goals that keep the hobby exciting to individuals that want to pursue them. The same way you ask about why someone likes to be FTF, is similar to how you would answer a friend of yours who isn't interested in geocaching and they say "What am I missing?". How would you answer them?

Another vote for better contrast in text. Maybe it was this way before the latest change but I thought I could click Mark Forum as Read without having a confirmation dialog pop up to then click ok. Same goes in the all forums view ( https://forums.geocaching.com/GC/ ) and clicking the circle icon on the left of the forum name to mark all posts in that forum as read without going into the forum. Both of these now require confirmation dialogs (2 clicks each) and I don't see a forum setting to disable the confirmation. I'm 99% positive in the mobile view of the forums I could click the icon to mark all read and there was no confirmation required.

2 separate caches if they have 2 separate GC #s. FTF on the first cache which was listed, you found and is now archived. No FTF on the 2nd cache unless you go out and find it and log it again as the first entry in the log for the new GC #. That's how I'd consider it.

I started in 2003 which means my daughters were 9 and 7 at the time. They've continued to cache with me/us and have even sometimes done it on their own when traveling. They don't find it odd but their boyfriends might have a different view. They had other plans during the Giga weekend or they might have considered coming along.

The Groundspeak team has released "updates" that are new versions in the respective app stores. Those are obvious updates you need to download to apply to your phone. The Groundspeak team has released "updates" that are not new versions in the respective app stores and occur using the current version on your phone. The last update here for May 10th is one of those. There was no update to download from the app store and the functionality changes were handled without a new build to the client (phone).

The app doesn't provide that filter. You could, if you want, run the Geocaching.com front page newest cache search in your phone's browser.

In case this hasn't been reported, when adding a cache to a [bookmark] list, the display of existing lists appear to cut off letters that go below the base line, like y, g, p, etc. See screen capture below. Tried on Mac High Sierra in FF, Chrome and Safari.

It might not be obvious to all, but some of the mobile app "releases" are not necessarily App Store releases. They are just updates that are done without releasing/downloading a new app. it might be helpful for the team posting these updates to indicate if it's a new app download or the existing app will see the changes. As for the slight color change on the text links for Hint, Photos, etc. it's something but not how I'd expect it to be implemented. The color difference on Hint from green to gray is indeed more noticeable than the shade of gray difference on the other labels such as Photos. But the text/buttons are still active and still cause an action which requires the user to take a 2nd action to close the dialog that says there is nothing there. Why not disable the text/button completely and make the text a much lighter shade of gray or even with a strikethrough or something. At my desk I can hardly tell the difference between an active and inactive link, let along walking around outside in the sunlight. Thanks

Seems to work fine for me. The button you are clicking is "Log geocache" button on a specific cache page, correct? You mentioned "Log a New Visit" and that's not a button I see. Try to launch a browser window in incognito mode or even without any plug-ins/add-ons/extensions to make sure something else isn't blocking the page. If you are more technically inclined, launch developer tools, reload the cache detail page and click the Log geocache button. See if it shows anything in the console or network tabs of developer tools.

Use Field Notes/Drafts and you can log out in the field, go home and then post to Geocaching.com from your computer. You can review the log entry, edit/fix typos, write a novel, etc. Just do everything as Field Notes/Drafts for that day and the order/time for that batch will be consistent.

Not sure what you were looking to do but you might have been able to also accomplish this using Project-GC Map Compare at https://project-gc.com/Tools/MapCompare . I'm a paid member so I'm not sure how much of what you wanted to do was possible as a free member. If you haven't yet given it a look, I suggest you check it out.

The issue/situation (depends who you are or ask) is the time-stamping of logs when done via the API vs the website. I stopped editing logs on the website if they were originally posted via the API. I'm also not sure if editing via the website is altering the timestamp (it shouldn't) but there's no way to tell as far as I know. If someone knows a way to display log date and time after publishing, post the info here.

If I run with developer tools enabled, the map seems to load. I tried in an incognito window to see if some plug-in/add on was causing the map not to load but didn't find anything.

I'm not a fan of making excuses but here's my take on customer expectations for internet sites... You press enter, go through a device or 2 you own and than 25-100 devices you don't hundreds/thousands of miles of networks to some web server that responds to your request by making 10-25 database calls, formats a response, sends it back to you over all these networks you don't know, back to your browser where a pretty page is displayed. If it doesn't happen in under 2 seconds, something is wrong? I'm amazed it every works!
