  1. Wrong. Archived caches have been shown in red color while deactived have been shown in blue. And I thought that there's no selection for all archived yet? I believed this just to be a wish from different people?
  2. Sorry, but you don't know my workflow so how could you judge it? It already has been said by someone else... In the old view you could easily see a found or archived cache. Now you can't. In the old view I was able to have ONE page with all the caches. So just going through and check the specific caches was an easy task, took me just a few seconds. Now I would need to have a way closer look to the icons, if they have a smiley or not. Don't know exactly about archived caches yet, might be even harder. And just because YOU are using GSAK in a specific way doesn't mean that I need to use it the same way. You posted the link to a "delete" macro, nice, but I would never use it. Simply because my GSAK usage model differs from yours. So why should I be happy if a new "feature" simply breaks my workflow? Just because someone had some nice ideas and though they would suit everybody? Sorry, but no, not really ;-) Don't get me wrong, I don't care about additional features (that I might not use at all), but I do care about things that got lost/broken while doing new stuff. That's it.
  3. Because I'm not using a single of these new features? ;-) I'm using lists mainly for my solves mysteries, as a proof for challenges I've found and in some cases for caches I want to do at some point. No need for me to somehow sort these as I either don't care after creating the lists or just use them as basis for a PQ. I always use the "show 1000 caches" option and roughly the only new option that would make sense for me, would be an (half) automated check of found/archived caches. That's it. But the only change I would get at the moment is a maximum of 500 caches to be shown and as far as I understood that number isn't sticky as it was in the old lists. I'm mainly working with GSAK, so I do need the lists just as a prestage for doing the work in there, that's why I don't need all these features. Only deleting unneeded caches from lists could have some more options. That't all I might use in addition to how it works now.
  4. Sorry to hear that :( I don't need any of these new options, as my workflow simply is different, but I do use 1000 as default for my lists. The only thing that would also help me is the option to checkmark all found/archived caches. That's pretty much it. So being able to only show 500 at a time is a back draw for my kind of usage. I would even "pay the performance toll" if I'd still could get the full list.
  5. Hi! As I finally was able to active my new lab I've found out that I can download the statistics. I just wonder if there's another tool to make best use of that file. As it's a XML file it's hard to read And I haven't found a program that would show it in a nicer way. Thanks, Christian P.S.: I've found a minimal glitch at the Leaderboard page: "Finds per Cache" shows 2,5 and 7,5 finds on the left of the graph. Might be better to use different scales that only allow full numbers.
  6. Hi! As I was preparing my next trip to Seattle I just checked this challenge and it looks pretty good...

You have the required additional 14 caches. You have 88045 Total Fantasy Football Points.
  7. Your other option would have been putting the results into a bookmarklist and do a pocket query onto that list and show it in the normal map :)
  8. Checked that and it looks like you're right! I just gave it a try and I really get Virtuals and Events in my result list. By the way: Events seem to have "other" as size nowadays vs. "not chosen" back then. Just figured out that the 2 other old sizes can't be used for new caches any longer. Guess that's the reason why they are missing in the selction. I can live with that as long as the search delivers results for all the 3 types.
  9. Technically I'm missing 2 cachesizes: Virtual and Unknown. Besides that I liked the old version of the toggles more. It's not exactly most logical that the search finds BOTH Basic/Premium if nothing is selected ;-) Same with the other toggles. The geocache type don't allow selection between the different event types and I THINK that I can't find the HQ cache with that search. I checked found mysteries in Washington state and as I already found the HQ... APE caches are missing, too.
  10. I guess this might just miss one point: What if there hardly is ANY data reception at the labcache area? In that case no one could play and it wouldn't help to have the option to log in some distance. We had that discussion here with the Brocken Mega, as this takes place on top of a mountain with close to no data reception at all. So this would be something were some offline capability would be really handy :)
  11. Guess why locationless completely disappeared and virtuals and webcams haven't been published any longer... Ok, besides the 4000 virtuals from 1.5 years ago!
  12. What about putting the labs into the MyFinds PQ? Many of us doing statistics stuff with 3rd party software needed to rely on the GPX files. As these aren't available any longer it might become really tough to get that done. Having them in the MyFinds PQ would make it way easier! No need for much details! A code and date of the log as well as the coords would be more than enough for most of us, I guess!
  13. The normal map still is there and that's exactly what I am using. I don't have any need for the search map as I simply don't really use the search functionality. I'm using the map and my filters are the PQs I defined. Just using the seach function in some rare cases to get numbers mainly. List is perfect then.
  14. Quick and dirty workaround for the moment: "Just" use the new search! Click onto the "Geocaching" text in the upper left. Search for something and on the results page just chose the new map for display! It gives you a clickable map then. Works different to the normal one, but at least you're able to do something as long as the normal one behaves wrong.
  15. Hmm, I'm getting a different map... It's the "normal" map without the left menu. And there's only light flaw: The ruler stays where it should be with the menu being visible. Besides that it seems to work. But sorry, still preferring the normal map and the PQ view. Easier to switch as the menu that for directly is included in the map.
  16. Hi Brendan, just wonder where the PQs are in your to-do-list? As well as the ability to show more than 500 caches. In my area there are thousands of caches within a few miles so showing just 500 isn't enough :( I really rarely use filters, I'm relying on PQs that I defined long time ago and that work for me for years now. I also need them to get the caches to my GPS device and not being able to use them any longer on the maps would really kill my geocaching experience so I'm looking forward to see that feature in the new maps. Until then I absolutely need to stay with the old style! Bye, Christian
  17. You need to be precise: The folder's name is \Garmin\GPX And the files just need to be stored there. That's it!
  18. Not enough info... If you check the files they DO have the info you're talking about! So you either have a GPS that isn't capable of showing this info or you're using some weird way to send these files to your GPS. So please, if you want to solve this, get us some more info regarding what EXACTLY you're doing!
  19. Sorry, I don't think saving every single cache as a file is the best idea Your GPS supports so many caches that you'd better go for pocket queries
  20. Hmm, what do you mean by "manually"? The etrex 20 is new enough to be used as flash device, so you "just" download the gpx file to the GPS and that's it. I think it's just one click more than with the plugin. And you even can create lists and send the whole list to the GPS. OR create pocket queries which in my eyes is the best option.
  21. Hi Cindy! Looks like the milestones form the standard statistics are affected, too. As well as the GSAK-FSG statistics who look pretty uggly now, hope they will come with a quick fix... Bye, Christian
  22. Hmm... Does it really work!? I checked "Premium" only and still have got all the Basic caches, too? Same the other way round with Basic. Still everything there in the results. More inconsistencies with Enabled/Disabled. Why don't you show BOTH with nothing selected, but both when I only select Disabled? These filters don't work liked expected for the moment, I fear. In addition I'd like to see "Events" being split up into the differents event types. Makes it way easier to use for the megas and such.
  23. PQs? That's what I'm using most of the time. Displaying them on the map and select from them. I don't have any need for this big descriptive page to the left especially as it's showing the "wrong" info as default. Don't care about the activity, would way more like to see the description as default, if at all. The top part with name, DT, FP and options is WAY too big. Same with the used font for the search field. This font even is bigger than the top menu options (at least looks like that!)... Limiting the caches to 500 sucks. I don't understand which ones MIGHT be missing on the map. As far as I have seen now they could be somewhere so everytime my search gives me 500 caches I don't know if I might miss any cache in the actual view. Bad! I would like to see the closest 500 (ok, better way more!) to the center of the map. That way I at least don't miss any cache too easily. Besides that I rarely ever use search at all. I have been setting up quite some PQs and like to view these on my map. OR I want to simply see ALL the caches in a region to plan my tours as I usually don't really care what type, DT or whatever a specific cache is. I do them all :) So for me the old map works by far better than this new one. Sorry for that.
