My browser (Chrome) is saying "connection not secure" when I try to access any function of the site. I can't upload a .gwz file to the site because whenever I do it, It says "Form not secure" and takes me back to the start page, even though I say submit anyway.

Apparently, there was one thing the Garmin help page didn't mention: lock the SD card cover. (I got it working)

I have a Garmin Oregon 450 that came with a micro SD that was 1 GB and I have another that is 8 GB (class 10). When I plugged the Garmin into my computer, It did not show any more storage on the Garmin than it had before and it also showed a greyed-out F:/ drive that "Windows can't access" I have tried plugging it into all the ports on my computer, plus others, I have formatted the card twice, I updated the firmware and updated Garmin express as well. Can somebody point out what I'm doing wrong?

I did the same but with an 8 GB card instead. It did not recognize it for some reason even though I formatted it in FAT32. Help? it is a Centon 8GB Micro SDHC. I tried plugging in the sd card itself into my computer instead of plugging it in through the garmin and putting my maps and such in there, but that didn't work.

I am using the Amazon Basics Rechargeable batteries. Is it the case that you can only charge them outside of the Garmin? I have been putting them inside the device, and then charging through the cord. Is this wrong or am I doing it right? While charging the NiMH batteries through the coord, I have to charge them every so often, of course, and then the time between those charges is getting very short very quickly, so much so that I can't even turn the device on after a few days. After that happens, can I recharge the NiMH batteries through the wall charger and start that whole process over again?

I am using Amazon basics rechargeable batteries in my Garmin Oregon 450, with the setting for NiMH batteries on, and they are losing their ability to hold charge extremely fast (1-2 days). Is this most likely a problem with the device or the batteries? One more thing, I got some topo map .kmz files from TopoView and they are showing up in really low resolution on my device, even though I viewed them on Google Earth and they look fine. It did have a message that "Image file too big" or something like that when I first put them on, so I'm not sure how to fix this even though they are only around 3 MB.

I'm working on the code that distributes the cards. I had to use actual lua because Urwigo does not have list support. When I put this into "Lua user functions" it for some reason does not put any items in the player's inventory. Why? does it have something to do with not defining an id for the item? function doStuff () local cards = {"Colonel Mustard", "Mr. Green", "Mrs. Peacock", "Mrs. White", "Professor Plum", "Candle Sitck", "Revolver", "Lead Pipe", "Wrench", "Rope", "Dagger", "Kitchen", "Lounge", "Dining Room", "Ball Room", "Hall", "Conservatory", "Billiard Room", "Library", "Study"} function distributeCards () randomNum = math.random(1, #cards) item1 = Wherigo.ZItem(objclue) item1.name = cards[randomNum] item1.Description = "" item1.Visible = true item1.Commands = {} item1.ObjectLocation = Wherigo.INVALID_ZONEPOINT item1.Locked = false item1.Opened = false item1.active = true table.remove(cards, randomNum) return item1 end card1 = distributeCards () card1:MoveTo(player) card2 = distributeCards () card2:MoveTo(player) card3 = distributeCards () card3:MoveTo(player) card4 = distributeCards () card4:MoveTo(player) card5 = distributeCards () card5:MoveTo(player) for i, card in ipairs(cards) do print(i, card) end end

I am currently working on making the function that tells the player what part of their guess was wrong. Here's what all the if statements look like: (Crazy)

I might also "deal" or give starting clues that make it a little less time-consuming to do and to make it more like the real game. I'll keep working on this and see what crazy things I come up with. Quick note: the syntax you're reading is Urwigo compiling code for me, although I will use this when I start coding it myself. Quick question: What code editor do you use? I like VS Code because it's free and has lots of extensions. (like one for support for Lua)

I saw all this when I looked at your code. While I don't know much Lua or how to use it, I am familiar with python and the syntax is really similar. Quick question, how did you learn Lua and how to use it for Wherigos? Where do you recommend I start?

Some More Ideas: Make functions able to return values Make functions that you can use over again (have a function builder and then put that in the base directory, then have users be able to load those functions or presets into a new project make a Github repository with all the files where you can post issues and feature request instead of this long list of jumbled posts

The NPCs were just an idea that I will work on later. Here is my progress so far using Urwigo: Google Drive

I also am working on my own version using Urwigo, so we'll see how that goes. So far I have all the zones and items and I'm working on mixing up the items to create the combination that the player Is trying to figure out. It would be very helpful if Urwigo had list support. I might also try to create other NPCs that play the game along with the player. It will definitely take some time to do that though. Another of my projects right now is to learn Lua. If anybody else wants to, I recommend Codecademy's free Lua course.

Here's one: A Wherigo version of the board game clue where players travel around to different zones picking up clues on their turn. A slightly harder one: A Wherigo version of Uno. (Anyone can use these ideas) By the way, what do you mean by your projects are open source? Where can I find the code? I kind of want to compare the one I made with yours.

Unfortunately, Urwigo does not have a function to tell if a zone contains an item (that I found), so I made separate variables telling where it was and changed them when I ran the commands to pick up or drop off items. The fun part about making it was that it seemed easy, but as I put it together, it got harder and harder. It was a very fun cartridge to build! ...By the way, do you mind if I use it in my area? It's around Tulsa, OK.

One thing I found that helps is to recreate other wherigos that are creative. For example, I am recreating Ranger Fox's "Fox, Chicken, and Grain" puzzle in Urwigo (It's just for practice, I won't use it). Are there any Creative Wherigos that anybody has done or seen for practice?

Here is the .gwc, gwz, and .urwigo files for the LPC hotter or Colder game: Google Drive

I love this builder, although I have one thought. Typically when you have something bigger than the box that it is inside, you can scroll up and down to view more of it. If you hold shift while scrolling, you typically scroll side to side. I have discovered this does not work in Urwigo. (Feature Request)

I think this would be a cool idea with a parking lot looking for an LPC. You could create a big zone that is the parking lot, and a small zone where the geocache is, then every 10 or 15 seconds have it tell the player if they are hotter or colder than the last location to the geocache. I am definitely going to try to recreate this cartridge around where I live. It's a really cool idea.

This is a great instructional video, or at least the best there is. It shows all the base functions to get you started. I would also look at some example projects like this one on Urwigo.cz to see how it works.

As a newer cacher, I just got started building wherigos, and I am kind of stuck deciding what to make. I have made two so far, Including one that shows exactly how far away the planets would be if the sun was 6 inches in diameter. Any ideas for a cartridge/cache with Wherigo? I could also use some ideas for practice projects that would get me some more experience with wherigos in general and Urwigo, the builder I'm using. One idea I had was to make a big zone in a parking lot that shows a geocache in it somewhere, and you have to wander around the parking lot until it says you're close. Then you log the find!

Thank you so much! I think I got things figured out for now, So all that's left is to place the cache!

I am semi-experienced in the art of geocaching, and I just created my first Wherigo with Wherigo\\kit. I then uploaded that to Wherigo.com, but I am not seeing this Wherigo either on the Wherigo app or the geocaching app. (I made sure Hide my Hides was off). Can someone show me what I'm missing? I also went to the make a cache page on Geocaching.com but could not find a place to upload gwz or gwc files. ~PoppCulture
