    Can't view cache after getting notification (iPhone)

    Do you by any chance have filters set to ignore particular caches?  I filter out the caches that have the wonders I have already found.  I haven’t had this happen (yet) so just throwing out a suggestion.  

     

    Thanks to you and kunarion for your replies.  No, I have no filters.  I have filters in Cachly, but not on GC.com.  I have no filters anywhere that would filter out freshly released caches that are rated 1/5/1.5

    If you're talking about the website, top right of any screen, in green bar, next to your geo-name, there's an envelope icon. Click on that and it will take you to the Message Centre. (That's how we spell "Center" in Australia. ?)

     

     

    By Jove that's it.  I never noticed that envelope icon before.

     

    Many thanks.

    GWZ or GWC?

    in Wherigo

    Thanks for your reply.  I uploaded the GWZ file and the update seems to have worked. 

     

    When I said the upload location wanted a GWZ file I was at the correct place so I knew where to upload.

    It's been 2 1/2 years since I created my only Wherigo cartridge.   It has worked great since then, but recently there have been changes at the location of the final requiring changes to the cartridge.  I use the RangerFox kit maker.  Hoping I haven't screwed something up, I have made the changes.  Back when I originally created it someone here told me to dowload and use a GWC file for upload here, but when I tried to upload it it wanted a GWZ file.  So, which is right?

    NUVI vs 64s

    in GPS technology and devices

    I'm not sure I understand.  When as passenger-navigator I hold the NUVI too far from the windshield it will loose satellite reception and I must move it forward to regain them.  So I think it's seeing the satellites through the window not using the car body.  I think Mineral2 is correct.  Neither understand which direction to go when sitting still inside the car and I had just never thought about/realized that and figured the NUVI always knew which way to go. 

    I don't get notices of messages -- why?

    4) Click on "Email Preferences"

    5) Check the Message Center box and select "Send me a notification every time I receive a message."

    Thanks for your reply.  The Email Preferences was checked, but the Send notification every time . . .  was not so I checked it, but it doesn't seem like that should cause the problem because messages that came long after I was last in the messages area don't arrive.

    Best I can tell I get notices of everything but messages.  Notices of cache actions, Traveler actions, PQs ready, new caches, etc all seem to be working good.  I get a few messages.  I've never tried to do a count but I'd guess I get about a random 10%.  I'm always stumbling on messages on GC that are as much as 2 weeks - a month old.

     

    Does anybody know what causes this and how I fix it?
