  1. I'm using lots of PQs, for FTF runs, for different areas as 1000 is WAY too less for my needs, so lists don't work either. I'm using GSAK to fill my GPS devices and it's completely easy to dl the PQs and create my data set then. And I LOVE the PQ view on the old map. So yes, there are some very good reasons to use PQs. In addition you can easily filter the caches on my GPS device based on PQ files!
  2. It depends on the browser you're using. They behave slightly different in terms of their defaults. Firefox for instance allows you to chose that in the options settings. Other browser have similar settings, but in different places. And yes, that folder is on the Garmin and it doesn't make a difference if you put it onto the device itself or onto the SD card in the device as long as the folder name is correct.
  3. I'm not Ben, but I'm pretty sure his answer would be similar, but in different words possibly... No, you can't get back that functionality at all, period! It's more than "just" put in one line of code into the page and there is a good reason to have it removed. It anyways was in there WAY too long as it caused so many issues und discussions and requests from people who already did upgrade their systems to actual browsers. Take it as a man and simply forget your request. Go learn how to deal with it. You've got more than one answer already on how to deal with it. Create a pocket query, load the GPX into MapSource and send the caches to your devices. Easy! That way also works for single caches, but it's not that much fun, I agree. You can also create a bookmarklist and create a PQ from that. You do have some options, so just go and give it a try!
  4. With an eTrex 20 you can easily use PQs. You also just need to store the GPX file onto your device as described by HHL.
  5. Create a PQ from your list, download the PQ into MapSource and send the caches to your GPS. Easy!
  6. I can see them on the cache page... I'm using Firefox on Windows 10. You need to be fully precise with that to allow the lackeys check if there really is an issue!
  7. It might help if you'd get us some more details like the GPS model and the browser (version) you're using
  8. There's a big issue with the upper option on the map! The file generated THERE doesn't have the corrected but the header coords. The option on the cache page works as expected!
  9. One options should be using Basecamp. Simply load the GPX files into Basecamp and send the caches to your device from in there. Should work like a charm.
  10. You're simply doing it the wrong way... "Just" download the GPX files directly to the Montana, "Save as" ist easy, just depends on the browser you're using. So you can directly chose the correct directory on your device and that's it! "Sending to" doesn't mean the files will be sent to the correct directory!
  11. Just click the little arrow beside "Save" and chose to the the "Save at" option. Then you can chose the directory where to save the file. Correct directory for a Garmin would be \Garmin\GPX on your device. And sorry, as I'm using a German Windows version it may not exactly be "Save at" But I'm sure you'll find the correct option!
  12. Easy to understand... The existance of that completely outdated feature for sure created by far more issues and questions as anyone at the HQ is willing or able to answer. At some point "you" simply need to move forward and forget the old stuff...
  13. I also would like to see the default order of the lists to be alphabetical as I have quite a few of them and know the name but not necessarily when I have been using it the last time. So now I either need to go throught the whole list of lists or redo the ordering twice. Mapping feature: Nice, but why isn't it using the standard map? If I then clear the search filter it loads the normal one.
  14. Stupid question: Why!? You always see what your account allows you to see, so why should you be able to see an extra indicator? Planning for basic members? If they accompany you, they can easily log these, too?
  15. This exactly was my example that I already disussed with Frau Potter some time ago. Her final decision still was that the FINAL has to be within the 2 miles. I still think that the first stage should be the one to check, but hey, their website, their rules.
  16. I fear you were missing the point The question was about moving a waypoint. You're telling how to move the header coords. WAY different!
  17. Technically you're right It simply was way easier for me to compare MY personal profile as I know how it should look like So I have been comparing the new and old version on my 2 screens and just wondered what has been changed. My main complaint anyways is the huge waste of space for the least important part of the profile info. In the old view all my geocache info can be seen on my screen. In the new version that doesn't exactly work. Ok, it jumps down and doesn't show the background and profile picture any more if I chose anything other than the About tab. But it that case I again need to scroll up to be able to change to some other page later as this also hides the main menu. I wouldn't mind if there would be NO background picture and just a small profile picture again (if at all ). That way the remaining block isn't too prominent any more. But again: Just MY personal opinion...
  18. Ok, makes sense! But I'm sorry, the "header" still is way too prominent in my eyes. If I'm looking into one's profil I usually don't care too much about that info but more about their statistics. And even on my pretty big (28" UHD) display only less than half the height is used for that part now. And as I wrote: I now will be shown on top of EVERY tab. Not an improvement but a backdraw. Seen from a pure technical view I wonder why you changed that at all. Up to now I don't see any new feature, just a higher waste of space (again). Ok, the new backgrund picture might be nice for some people, but is THIS really worth the change? Sorry that for, just my personal view!
  19. First thoughts: 1. Main part is way too big now. I roughly always need to scroll down now. And it is shown in every tab, not just the about tab as in the old version. For me that's waste of space plus the need to always scroll now. 2. Where are the links now? I'm missing the email and message center links and "you" might miss the "Give a gift membership" link. I guess your sales team doesn't like you that for I'll stay with the old version, works better for my needs.
  20. But it anyways is handled that way for quite many T5 caches I did... Common use here, just do a query and check the caches
  21. For the checker! One of my mysts has a first stage and the final. So if I would like to use the checker I would need to be able to set the waypoint the checker is meant for. The default (final) wouldn't work for me and I also wouldn't use the checker for the final in this specific case. As you're solving the last calculation in the field anyways you would know pretty quick if you're right or wrong.
  22. That for I would need to have the option of chosing which waypoint I want to get checked. If it will be implemented that way: Great!
  23. Don't blame Groundspeak or the reviewers for cache owners abusing/misusing the attributes A reviewer in many cases simply need to believe the CO and this is true here, too. Our reviewers usually ask the CO some extra questions if that attribute is set. So as a wheelchair rider I would at least try believing the attribute has been set in a correct way. If not: NM log
  24. This only works for a single stage myst. Mine are different and I not always directly send the cacher to the final but to some other stage(s) first. That's why I couldn't use the new checker at the moment.
