It is broken for me again - adobe flash is updating frequently; every update breaks this screen. I'm on Macintosh, but it is browser based so this is platform independent. Workaround: Go to http://www.yournavigation.org Fill in your from/to, zoom in/out with mouse wheel, etc. Click on Export tab, select gpx. Export. In Geocaching's "Find caches along a route", click on the right-most tab labeled "Upload a Route". After the route has been uploaded, you can use it to create a PQ.

I saw that same behavior a couple of weeks ago (using Chrome) but I tried it last night and the map seemed to render correctly when setting FROM and TO locations. Probably not really helpful. I have the same problem on occasion. I tried turning off popups on geocaching.com, then tried turning off adblock plus on the page - no luck. Then I updated to the latest flash - that solved it. Flash is blocked if it out of date. This maps require flash (as much as I dislike flash) to display & allow you to interact.

Still not functioning as of 1430, 02Dec13. Just tested on Firefox 12 on RHEL5 Linux and FireFox 24 on W7. If these services were free, I'd say I'm getting what I paid for... but pocket queries is one of the main functions I use, which costs a yearly membership. (NOTaHAPPYCamper)

Here's a workaround I posted in another category: http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=316995&view=findpost&p=5325257

I have both bad and good memories regarding Mitchell, Oregon. I won't bore you with the bad... here's a good story from our 4 day geocaching run last September, as reported in the log for the only cache we located in Mitchell: Bruce has both bad and good memories surrounding Mitchell, we got to add yet another memory. While B and Steve was looking things over trying to figure out how to approach GZ, we were parking across the highway. A State patrol circled around and rolled up behind the geo-Motorhome... and proceeded to check with N if all was Ok. By that time B and Steve had walked back to the MH, we chatted about geocaching and our GPS units, and wondered where the cemetery was located. He asked us to swing around the "block", and he'd go ask the coffee shop owner... by the time we were around to the stop sign, he swung up beside us and pointed out where the entrance road was.. it was right in front of us! We thanked him profusely, and he headed on. After making our way up to the parking area at the cemetery, we found GZ, and Steve fetching the prize. We swapped swag, and signed, the put it back. We paid our respects and attempted to leave quietly when a car comes up the road and stops in front of us... it was the coffee shop person, she was asking if we'd found the cache! Yes, Thank you!! Down she went, then we pulled out... and stopped at the coffee shop. And Steve had a fresh made maple bar (yum yum!) and we ordered iced coffees. Coffee in hand, and a generous tip in gratitude for all the help! Talk about making memories!!!!!

Go to your routes, Click on a route. It opens it for Create/Edit. Scroll to the bottom, you'll find a delete button. I've found where I cannot delete a bunch of routes similar to deleting PQs, they can only be deleted one at a time by opening them. Hope that helps.

Confirming - we had two caches published today - commonly, we get an email stating it's been submitted, an email saying it was reviewed, and an email stating it was published. Today, we got one email stating the first was published, then nothing more. I sent a message to the first to find on the first cache, never got the copy, which we typically do. My thought was the same - if they want $30 per year, they best start acting like a professional company. I almost didn't renew recently due to the intermittent problems and occasional poor performance of the Geocaching website.

Hi Fellow Cachers, We purchased a Magellan Triton 400 a couple years ago, and after a few months of struggles learning the darn thing, I found that Magellan issued a firmware update that fixed many of my frustrations in conjunction with me learning the concepts and interface. Things were working fine, then I purchased a lightly used netbook to use with our caching activities rather than use my workplace machine. With windows 7, the netbook crashed on occasion while connecting or disconnecting the GPSr, both properly and improperly. The crashes were caused by the MUD.sys (Magellan USB Driver.sys) drivers. Over time, the problem became much worse, to the point where the setup was just not usable. Eventually I had tinkered enough with the setup that I had corrupted the registry (what a nasty concept, especially from a Unix/Macintosh perspective), then finally started all over by formatting the disk and reloading W7. I eventually logged a ticket with Magellan; we went round and round via email, then was eventually told to call their telephone support. When I did, and described the problem, I was told to "Let windows stabilize" as it had been reloaded. It was never resolved while using W7; I eventually loaded XP on the netbook, and no longer had BSOD (blue screen of death) caused by the USB drivers. (I have had daily to weekly usb driver crashes with the LaCrosse weather station, however. I really dislike wintel but don't have much choice with Magellan) I've never had crashes with the DeLorme Earthmate GPS LT-40 or M$'s Streets and Maps with GPS version. (both were gifts; they now set unused on my shelf as I have too many GPS gadgets) I had updated VantagePoint over time, but found an interesting change on version 1.73 - downloaded LOC files were loaded into VantagePoint as waypoints instead of Geocaches. I pointed this out to Magellan as well, but never got a response. I found this snippit on Magellan's website regarding the fixes to the version history: What’s new in VantagePoint 1.80 * Support of the eXplorist GC unit ... * Support of new waypoint icons and categories * Importing and Exporting of LOC file are used for waypoints instead of Geocaches * Ability to publish new Geocache and Geocache logs Why they made this change, I may never know. I suspect it was a way to encourage the user to upgrade their Groundspeak membership, as downloading and using GPX files work as they always had. Last month I found a good deal on a new Triton 500, and having a friend of a relative that was interested in caching, I purchased the new unit with the idea of passing the 400 on. We found the 500 to be faulty, and Magellan replaced it, hassle free other than the shipping cost back to them. I shipped them only the handset at their request, They sent a new unit complete with cable which offset the cost of shipping, and preloaded it with the latest firmware. We gave the Triton 400 to our friend for Christmas; he finally had time yesterday to load VantagePoint on his wintel. After futzing with the setup for a while, I got him up and running. However, I knew that he being a basic member, he can download only LOC files from Geocaching. When we uploaded the LOC files into VantagePoint 2.0, we got a flag and a GC number, nothing more. Ok, so the latest VP is still doing the same thing as I noted above in the "fix" to 1.80. Knowing that Magellan has a server that contains older versions, and having the installers for older versions on my backups, I started searching for info as to the latest version of VP that dealt with LOC files as caches, and found the following version history: MVP_150, 151, 152 and 160, LOC load as caches. MVP_173, 180, 194 and 200, LOC files are loaded as waypoints. Old versions of VantagePoint can be downloaded from Magellan's server using the following syntax: http://magellan.cachefly.net/MVP_160.exe (Note the case!) When moving from a version lower than 1.73, you must rename the two user data directories that do not get removed in the add/remove process: c:\Documents\VantagePoint c:\Program Files\Magellan The drivers at c:\MagellanDrivers seem to be fine with moving to an older version, in my experience. To test this, I had uninstalled and reinstalled all of the above versions starting with 152 over the last couple of days. BTW, This posting is intended to be informative rather than to ask for help.... Thanks for listening, and it is my hope this post is helpful to others dealing with Magellan's products. If I were to do it all over again, I'd have purchased a Garmin.... but we have had a lot of fun with the Triton. It has taken us to many fun places in search of caches, many places we had been to in years past, and many places we'd never been to in our own region. Cache on! --BNMac...
