You've been a great help. That saved me a pile of time and frustration and muttering. I will looking into lists and pocket queries. Thanks.

I'm not usually on these forums and I will check out some of the posts, but do you have a quick answer to why they are phasing out this function? Is it geocaching.com that is phasing it out?

lady_xythis I just experienced the same thing. It worked fine for me too until it didn't just now. Magellan Exploits GC. Geocaching sees my gps, says it's ready for download...but nothing happens when I click download. Tried restarting computer, re-attaching gps to computer...all the usual tricks. My mom and I have both had trouble with these units not maintaining functionality when they upgrade versions. I'm hoping this is temporary but I'm going to check out some of the referenced info about 'send to GPS'. Good luck.

I use a Mac. Geocaching.com maps no longer work with the newest Safari version i can get with my operating system (Mac OSX 10.6.8). Can't zoom in or out and still click on cache icons to view data or download. I then updated my browser to google Chrome. The map issue is fixed, however, google chrome does not allow any/many/most plugins (like magellan communicator). I can't download caches now. I'm wondering about Firefox since internet explorer isn't an option for me. I think the answer to your problem lies in the internet browser. Hope that helps. M. Hawkins

While generally a fine way to look at things, each case is different and may require different ordering and numbers. But the important thing to me is the expectation that these steps be driven by other cachers, not by reviewers. I'm not sure whether that's what eagsc7 is thinking, but since the thread is about reviewers taking unilateral action, I want to be clear about who should be counting the DNFs and filing the needs maintenance and asking for archival when the time's right. It's not a crime for a reviewer to take action without being asked, but it's the community's job to police problems, not the reviewer's. Very good point. I have a number of difficult caches. Although I keep an eye on the logs and reply as necessary, I also don't have a lot of geocaches. Some cachers have a large number of difficult caches. The reviewers should not be autodisabling based on a rigid system as outlined by eagsc7 for difficult caches. That sounds like trouble. Why should a maintenance log be entered just because of 2 previous dnfs, and disabled after 5. What if those two dnfs are from inexperienced cachers or the geocache was hard to find. Maybe a group goes by looking and can't be bothered spending much time on the cache because they are on a numbers run. You could get a whole chunk of dnfs all at once. Every case is different. Reviewers shouldn't be disabling caches after 5 dnfs as a blanket rule. That should largely be up to the cache owner to decide.

I am using Safari.

I am also on a Mac (OS X Version 10.6.8). I am having the same problem. It is seriously annoying to have to zoom out so far before being able to click on a cache icon on the map page. This really needs a fix sooner rather than later. M. Hawkins.
