  1. Great job on the update! I know many people are saying you guys don't listen to us, but you guys really do! You have improved three things that really made a difference to me!

     

    I feel like the app is just getting better and better. It really showed on this update. The best bug fix was the timestamp issues on the Android app, it works as intended, thanks!!!

     

    I love the new way to log now (even though it take a whole 1.1 second longer to load, lol). It is so much easier and cleaner on my phone now. Also using it on the computer it works just fine.

     

    I agree with several other people on this thread, anything that makes it harder for someone to mass dip trackables is a good update.

     

    I know this happened in another update but thanks for changing the cache icon to be seen better in green areas of the map. They look great!

     

    Keep up the good work. I don't want the website or apps to remain the same because people don't like change.

  2. Thanks for that information however that now makes less sense. I live on the east coast (EST) and Geocaching HQ in PST, so that is three hours behind us. So that means it should have given me more time to log it and not less.

     

    Meaning a 2:59am log would still be before midnight in PST.

     

    Maybe the time is in GMT? That is 5 hours ahead of us meaning a log past 7pm would result in a past midnight log but I would think I would have ran into this issue more often...

     

    Hmm...

  3. EDIT: I guess the web page was cached but my streak is now fixed! I guess I overreacted!

     

    Regardless I would love to understand why the Geocaching app logged my find for the next day even though I logged the cache well before midnight.

     

     

    ------Original Post--------

     

    Ok, I am currently working on a streak. I should be up to 261 days in a row but something screwed up and reset my streak to 1 day!

     

    Here is what happened: I grabbed my cache of the day late yesterday (as I always do on Sunday, since I am in the process of driving down to DC for the week). I waited until I got to DC to make the log. Regardless I did make the log on the app and I thought nothing of it.

     

    I was logging and checking my profile for today's activities and sure enough my streak is at one day. I quickly checked my profile and noticed for some reason that my log last night was logged for today! What!?!

     

    Not worrying too much I just changed the date of my log but that fixed nothing. I then deleted the log and created a new log with yesterday's date, still no good!

     

    So right now I am a little worried. No matter what I do I am still at a one day streak. Anyone know how to fix this?

     

    Also does anyone have any clue as to why the Geocaching app logged a find one day in advance? I know for a fact I made that log well before midnight!

  4. Geowigo is released - Version 1.0.29

     

    Starting today, Geowigo is available for free on the Windows Store right here: Geowigo on Windows Store

     

    This new version includes some minor bug fixes and removes the long lasting beta message.

     

    Thanks to the 700+ beta testers who joined in the past three years.

     

    And huge thanks to my partner in crime, Charlenni :)

     

    Long live Wherigo!

     

    Sweet!!! Congratulations! It has been a pleasure beta testing this with you. Thanks so much for bringing us WP users a great Wherigo app!

     

    Will you be putting out a paid app in the future?

  5. Hi - I have a problem With getting the cartridges and i realize that this probably isn't the right forum as the problem is getting the Isostorespy to work. I've tried to Google on the topic and am only getting more confused .. i'm unsure if i need to download Isostorespy to the PC or the Windows Phone.. if the Isostorespy have a problem working With Windows 10 and what to do abouat that - in addition i've found post telling me that i need a Developer unlocked phone in order to get Isostorespy to work. I'm probbaly getting my topic mixed up With something else and getting the wrong answers.. anybody know a forum that could give me the relevant answers?

    I have upgraded to Windows 10 on my PC and have Windows 8,1 update 2 on the phone.

     

    Isostorespy is a file explorer app for the phone. It has nothing to do with the actual downloading of the cartridges. All the file manager app does is allow you to MOVE the cartridge. So this will allow you to download the cartridges right on your phone and then you can use Isostorespy or another file manager to move that newly downloaded cartridge from your download folder to your One Drive so the Wherigo app can see the cartridge.

     

    I personally don't use Isostorespy. I use Pocket File Manager. It works perfect!

     

    Again, you only need a file manager app if you want to download Wherigo cartridges right directly using your phone then you must use the file manager app to move the file to the correct folder so this app can find it.

     

    Your other option is to download the cartridges on your PC and then move them to your One Drive. Make sense?

  6. I wanted to update you on my latest Geowigo adventure. I completed this cache: http://coord.info/GC5QPMJ with the following cartridge: http://www.Wherigo.com/cartridge/download.aspx?CGUID=cd45c7b3-29f0-4a1d-82e1-8e5925b91a34

     

    There had been several people complaining that they had issues with the cartridge but just to inform you it played perfectly. The zones worked, inventory worked, sounds worked, it all was a great experience! I will continue my use of it.

     

    Thanks for bringing a Wherigo app to Windows phone!!!

  7. Ok, I am bothered and need some help. I checked out the help section on favorite points and I searched the forum and came up empty.

     

    My favorite points are off by two finds (means my next fp is awarded at 292 instead of 290).

     

    This is not a huge deal, I just would like to know why.

     

    To my knowledge, I have not logged a double find but I can't be certain. Is there a way I can check for that?

     

    Also if I find a lab cache, would that increase my cache count but not counted towards in gaining fav points?

     

    Thanks guys!

  8. I have a hiking stick trackable. I think it would be awesome to track the miles of how long I hike with it but I don't think that is possible, is it?

     

    I know I can visit it in the caches I visit but my concern is if I him in one area, drive to another area and hike, all those miles in-between the two caches will count (my driving miles), correct? Any way around it?

  9. I am also having an issue with my favorite points. I go to the cache page, I click on the down arrow next to the number of favorite votes, I click on the "add to your favorites", it spins, it makes the count go up by one but sure enough if I reload the page or go back to my profile, I still have the same amount of points and the cache goes back down by one.

     

    Very odd, I have always done favorite points this way with no issue. I am using IE version 11 and I was trying to give a fav to "Raiders of the Lost Cache" (http://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC2HN2H_raiders-of-the-lost-cache?guid=9567451e-a1b8-42aa-9fba-90ac20e5b96f)

     

    Also... I was able to add a favorite point, with no issues, on the same PC with the same browser on 4/4/2015 using the same method as stated above.

  10. Opps sorry! I am landing in Heathrow.

     

    I think I agree with Joe, I don't think I have enough time in 4 hours to do all of this.

     

    I am pretty sure I can leave the airport as several of my co-workers on the 14 hour layover was able to leave the airport, do a bus tour, and come back and they have the same passports as I do (US passports). The thing with me is the time needed.

     

    Thanks for all the input!

  11. I am fairly new to Geocaching and I have been doing it since Oct 2014.

     

    I first off want to say I love the cache page details and that you guys have done an outstanding job and my suggestions are minimal.

     

    Features I never use: The current maps on the cache page. Get Directions.

     

    Features I love the most (leaving out the most obvious ones like cache details, d/t, size, etc): Distance away from home. Ignore. The links (find caches by the user, find nearby caches of same type, that I have not found, etc).

     

    My Minor Suggestions:

     

    1) I would love the ability to filter certain log types (did not finds, finds, maintenance, etc).

     

    2) I would like for a quick search to determine if a certain user has found a cache or not. See on the cache pages with caches with hundreds of logs all the logs do not load up (rightly so) however in doing so, you can't just do a search on the page unless you scroll down, wait for the load, scroll down again, etc.

     

    2a) Or try this? A little indication that says something like this: "Be the first one of your friends to find this cache" (if none of your friends found the cache) or "# of your friends have found this cache" (and when you click on the link it allows you to see which of your friends found it and which ones have not). Or something like that, you get the idea....

     

    3) I would get rid of one of the maps.

     

    4) I will echo what others have said: It would be nice to know if you favorited a cache without having to click on it.

     

    5) I have seen several people comment on changing or removing the distance from home feature, please keep this feature "as-is". Although why not just add a "from current location" under the distance from home location? Or if anything allow each user to select this as an option to either display from home location, from current, or both?

     

    6) I know this is NOT the correct place to discuss this and I know this was asked of the community for comment what gets added to the GPX files, however when comments for those went out I was too new to know any better. So..... I would REALLY like the ability to have an option to ADD the attributes to the description, that way I can see the attributes on my GPS unit. I understand you can use third party sites to do this but I think its just an extra step in the process, if Geocaching.com allowed this feature it would save some time and save me from learning another site that I really don't care about :)

     

    7) I have seen a few comments about being able to remove ghost trackables (trackables not in a cache). The CO can remove trackables that are not inside the cache however this function should ONLY be a CO function. I have seen comments by random cachers saying a TB was not in a cache. Later I get to a cache and the TB was just on the bottom or something like that. HOWEVER: I would love to have a REPORT link near the trackable that would e-mail the CO to look into a cache to ensure a TB was inside of it and remove it from the cache list if found missing.

     

    Thanks everyone!

  12. I am fairly new to Geocaching, I have been Geocaching since Oct 2014.

     

    First off I want to say that the map feature on the website is fantastic, you guys have done a great job! I solely use the web version of the map on a laptop/PC, I don't use it on a smartphone.

     

    I use the map ALL THE TIME and it's one of the most used features on this site (although I love the PQ, of course!)

     

    Some additions I would like to see:

     

    1) I always wanted a DNF icon on the map and its a function I would really like to see, I am glad to see it was suggested before. I would personally say it is the single most important update to me when talking about the map.

     

    2) The second most feature I would love to see is the ability to filter more. Sure I can filter on if I want to see only traditional caches or events but I would REALLY like the ability to filter on T/D ratings or the size of the cache. That would come in VERY handy when planning for Geocaching adventures with the family.

     

    3) On the Cache details pop-up I would like to see a Last Found Date on the pop-up.

     

    4) I would really like to see a feature that allows me to save my filers so I don't have to keep on re-filtering each time I open the map.

     

    Also I wanted to echo what others are saying: PLEASE DON'T try to make the current map better for smartphones at the expense of users on a PC. If you can make it better for smartphones (which I personally would not care to use) that is fine as long as it does not impact negatively on the computers users.

  13. Wow, reading all of this is depressing.

     

    I am new to Geocaching so I guess I was not really attached to the old way of searching. Actually I think the old way of searching was VERY limited.

     

    I really like this new search as you can do so much more with it. So I think it is better and I am happy with it.

     

    Reading the complaints it seems either people spent 5 minutes with it and decided they could not figure it (they might have spent more time writing complaints in this form then learning/using the new search) or react like most people when it comes to change (it sucks because it is different).

  14. I hate this. I am currently in Kuwait and heading but to the states on Sunday the 22nd (yes this coming Sunday). I initially had a 12 hour layover in London which would give me PLENTY of time to drop off two travel bugs heading to London.

     

    My flights had changed at the last moment so now I only have less then 4 hours and I am going to be stuck with two travel bugs that is just going to go right back to the United States with me.

     

    So my question is simple. Would it be possible to land in London during my layover, leave the airport, get a taxi, find a Geocache and then head back to check through security and make my flight in time?

     

    Or who lives near the Airport that would like to take two trackables off my hands?

     

    Thanks! Any other advice?

  15. I never got the survey (not sure why not, I even checked my junk box) but anyway I just wanted to say that I LOVE the advanced search.

     

    When I first starting using it some of the features or functions did not work for me or was missing but now everything seems to be working! Again, I love it! Great job guys!!!

     

    I would like to echo everyone else that in addition to "Map these results" I would like to PQ these results so I can load them to my GPS :) It comes in handy if I want to load a whole set of series (like for GeoTrails) or just loading up a bunch of challenges to my GPS.

     

    Thanks!

  16. Easy fix, kind of... If Taco Bell does not block VPN, then just connect to a VPN and your issue is solved.

     

    Getting a VPN is different story (google it) but I have a VPN in my home (I bought a router that has a built in VPN server) so when I go to Kuwait I can watch Netflix and other sites that they block over there.
