Or just change the symbol in your GPSr. An extra step, but you'd have the Geocaching functions back.

right, this *does* work, once I understood the problem, at least on my 60csx. of course the cause of the problem is I was showing my wife how easy it is to download geocaches which immediately made it stop working (actually I suspect the cause is another of the wonders of ActiveX controls, the hidden update).

I am having the same problem with my 60csx. worked fine for me on all previous downloads.

here is a specific example, I downloaded this cache by clicking the "send to gps" button on this page: http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...00-72befd8eb12d
it downloads fine, but shows up in the waypoints marked with the blue flag, not the open chest, thus when I attempt to generate a route to it, it doesn't show up in the geocache list.

I downloaded a few geocaches to my 60csx with no problem, they all showed up as unfound geocaches as expected. then I decided to show my wife how easy it is, so I had her download a couple more of them...and none of them showed in the geocache list. after a lot of fooling around I discovered the problem is they were downloading with the "flag" symbol instead of the "geocache" symbol, so the waypoint data is there, just not marked correctly (as I understand it the 60csx assumes waypoints with the geocache symbol are geocaches).
did I mess up my configuration somehow (so they are getting marked), or is this something in the downloaded data and I just got lucky choosing points to download?
-
yep, that's all I need, thanks!
-
when I go to the logging page I have the option to set the date or leave it today. should I use the date I found the cache or leave it alone?
thx

same problem for me, it comes up marked as a regular waypoint not a geocache. to fix this you can edit the symbol after you upload it.
this bug happened before a few weeks ago, apparently someone hasn't learned to test new software against old bugs before releasing it.
