Many thanks Groundspeak for a speedy reply and solution to my memory map gpx file problem. I look forward to the implementation of the fix on the 28th. Many thanks again. Birdwatchdave

Thanks for the heads up on this one as this seems to confirm what I found by loading an old query up in a hex editor and comparing it with the recent gpx files. There are 3 new characters right at the biggining of the text string (I presume this is the BOM you mentioned). if you delete the 3 characters and then save the file the .gpx file works fine in memory map as normal. This text string doesn't appear on the waypoints.gpx file so this hasn't been effected in memory map. I will report this back to geocaching.com and see what they have to say.

I am using an old version of memory map version 4.4.3 but would be interested to know if anybody out there is running the latest version of memory map and is having the same problem!

I have changed the gpx version as suggested and ran another query but the result is still the same with no caches displayed on the map. The waypoints however still display as normal. The gpx version 1.0.1 has worked fine with memory map in the past but it was a good idea to try the old version. All my previous queries which I ran before the 14th still work fine so I think this is something to do with the recent upgrade. I've asked geocom to investigate but have had no repy as yet.

Since the upgrade on the 14th I have downloaded a couple of pocket queries and have found that the main gpx file will not display in memory map any longer. The waypoints will though! I have asked a friend to check this on his machine and he also has the same problem! Has the gpx file format changed in any way as the file size for a 1000 cache pocket query does seem a little smaller. Does any one have any more info on this issue.

I have had the same problem with my 550t after downloading ver 3.0 software update from garmin. I couldn't run anything and it locked up the same as yours. After messing around for a while I deleted all the Wherigo cache data and the saves and then downloaded the tutorial again and reloaded. I did notice that the size of the data was slightly smaller than the original which was on.This seems to have worked and have tried since the solar system stroll - play anywhere Wherigo. Before you try this I suggest that you back up the files from your garmin Wherigo folder just in case. Hope this helps
