Did anybody find a solution to this problem? I have exactly the same issue. I loaded new pocket queries to gsak last night and then it made the error when loading the gpx to my garmin 1390. I tried a couple different macros and they all choked, so I deleted my entire database and only loaded a few and it worked but when I loaded a pocket query with all my local caches it choked again. I didn't do anything different this time and its been working for years, I suspect somehow invalid/illegal characters in the pocket queries that don't affect Gsak but through the poi loader for a loop. I am going to try a few old versions of poi loader and see if that helps as I'm using the newest one now if may be the issue.

Thats just classic. it doesn't matter what you are doing in an urban environment if you are not following the same beaten paths as the rest of the ants you are suspicious and must be investigated and stopped.

way off the topic of "whats the term for a geocacher that doesn't log anything online." but it always makes me laugh when someone hears or reads a single word in a conversation and it hits home to them and they take it totally out of context and twist it totally around then they describe exactly what there own guilt makes them feel about themselves. I'm not hating on you for not subscribing to the premium account.

LOL i like that

fatal error

Easy Steps to Geocaching 1. Register for a free Basic Membership. 2. Click "Hide & Seek a Cache." 3. Enter your postal code and click "search." 4. Choose any geocache from the list and click on its name. 5. Enter the coordinates of the geocache into your GPS Device. 6. Use your GPS device to assist you in finding the hidden geocache. 7. Sign the logbook and return the geocache to its original location. 8. Share your geocaching stories and photos online. Doesn't this mean that logging it online is also required? Anyway, personally I think it's bad manners not to let the cache owner what you thought of the cache. Do you write a full log of your caching experience in the physical logbook? I'm not sure how you would interpret it if logging online is mandatory, but i feel its kinda a courtesy to the CO, I'm sure most COs don't physically go out and check on all there caches unless its noted online there is a problem, then reading the log is to late. I haven't placed any caches but I'm sure there is some excitement in seeing the logs online about peoples adventures finding the cache. I'm getting so many different opinions about weather logging online is necessary or not, that I'm kind of starting to believe its all in how an individual wants to play the game. I for one will continue to log both and possibly it will help, or give someone that moment of joy knowing there cache was found and enjoyed.

Wait, so you think only people with money should be allowed to geocache? I for one am glad that Groundspeak has said basic geocaching will always be free. And what does paying for a premium membership have to do with logging caches online? No sorry maybe I said that in haste, thinking back long before i signed up for my account i was looking at caches online and it interested me enough to sign up for a premium account as soon as i had a GPS.

its kinda odd to me that someone would take the time to download the caches to there device, and not take the time to log them to the site the next time they went there.

OK so heres the deal this really bothers me, I'm new to geocaching and find it a really fun sport, but I'm very much bothered by the fact that many people don't log there finds online, as an example i stopped at GC1ZWRC the other day, and did a quick sign the log and off i went, then when i got home i went online to log it there, as it turns out the guy before me on the site had left a coin, i didn't see a coin, so i went back thinking a was loosing my mind,no coin but noticed maybe 6 people had logged the book between me and the guy that logged the coin but none mentioned taking the coin. that what bothers me, so now I'm thinking most likely people looking online will think i took the coin and mistrust me, this bothers me also. so whats the fix for this, should i always avoid caches noted as having coins or bugs, or should just make a note i didn't see any coin? also if someone can get online to download the cache data cant they almost as quickly log there finds. maybe people that don't sign up for premium accounts shouldn't be able to pinpoint caches in google maps and see the location of the cache, and download it to there gps if they have one. i ran across one cacher the other day that didn't have a gps, but had a whole notebook of printed cache pages, this bothered me also, i was polite to him, and we talked about our finds, but he wouldn't tell me his screen name, and i suspect he was a total freeloader. sorry about the rant, any suggestions on a good term for the unlogging geocacher can reply to this thread. thanks Lansharque
