  1. I submitted one this am and here it is like 14 hours later and it still hasn't run. I submitted another one just now and it ran but not the one from this AM. It seems like it is working.

  2. Yes, we're aware of the issue. The PQ generator is running full steam, just has a ton of PQ's left to generate. Don't worry, you'll get them.

    I ran one single regular PQ on the 9th. It never ran. I ran another single PQ this AM and it hasn't ran.

  3. The version I had on it was 3.60 and 3.00.

    Did you have the unit display that before you ran the Webupdater, to verify that it was still there? IIRC, some who have experienced a similar problem have reported that the unit will show Version 0.00, I think for the chipset firmware, when it happens. It seems that somehow the firmware gets erased.

     

    I didn't check it...I should have

  4. So I head to the lake to go fishing yesterday. I ran my GPSr for a while then I turned it off and put it up. Then I took it out and turned it back on. It would say acquiring satellites but would not show ANY satellites on the satellite page on the map or at the bottom AT ALL. So I repower it a few times and try it again later and still nothing. The version I had on it was 3.60 and 3.00. So I get home and it still won't work so I run Webupdater and it says there is a new chipset for it. I put it on and it works just like normal now. That is weird, I have no idea what happened. Maybe somehow my chipset dropped or got bumped. I have had it a few years and never had it do this.

  5. The most common cause is that someone has logged an individual cache as found more than once, or an individual event as attended more than once. My personal rule is 1 GC # = 1 found/attended, but not everybody plays that way.

     

    we were figuring it was those events where people log a bunch of temporary caches as finds on the event page

  6. so I have Garmin TOPO and CN8

    I was trying to open MapSource and it comes up and says CN8 is over a year old, click here to update or buy the new version. BLAH BLAH BLAH........

    well usually I just click remind me later and it will let me in...now it won't let me click on anything in the pop-up and then MapSource closes. Any suggestions on how to get it to work. I was thinking just uninstall it and then re-install it. It has worked fine for years until this week. The pop-up that CN8 is over a year old has been appearing for a few months but it has let me in until today.

  7. Contrary to traditional OWT's (Old Wives' Tales) it isn't the antenna so much as the receiver circuitry and its software.

     

    A receiver with a sirf chip will work much better on the ground than older units. In the Garmin line, an x in the model number means it's a sirf unit. Aside from the sirf chip, the only significant difference that price makes within a model line is the bells and whistles, not positional performance

     

     

    actually the x in the model of the Garmin line means it has a removeable microSD flash memory card not that it is a SIRF unit...

     

    but the SIRF receiver does make a big difference in satellite reception...I have had a signal lock in a 5 story parking garage and even in the elevator of the parking garage...granted the signal in the elevator at the parking garage wasn't the greatest, but it did maintain a lock
