  1. Good news & bad news about the TB exchange race.

    First the good: My racing partner/opponent, Choochoo1996's TB is doing well and yesterday visited a cache only 13 miles from it's destination, close to my home and only a mile away from where I was caching the previous day. It doesn't appear to have been dropped off though so maybe it's heading closer.

    The bad news: My poor old slow starting TB eventually moved a great distance quickly from England to Laos, to Vietnam and then to Cambodia. Unfortunately it was then dropped off in a cache which had just been archived (unknown to the cacher who dropped it) and now locked by the reviewer so unless someone has this stored as a PQ and visits an archived cache which they can't log, I guess that will become it's final resting place :(.

    Looks like my journey is done but looking forward to seeing my opponent's Jeep TB very soon.

  2. YeeHar, back and running with the latest script update - THANKS

     

    I started with the strange maps as shown in the screenshots above. I just clicked on 'Defaults' in Manage Maps and got my old list back - inc OS :)

    Thanks for the info, that did indeed fix it smile.gif

     

    Fingers crossed it stays fixed. wink.gif

     

  3. Well, now I've got a different set of maps to the normal ones (Thunderforest, Esri & Stamen), no OS, satellite, google maps etc. Seems a bit like when GClh used to over the maps. On the settings there are hundreds of map boxes, all ticked, the map default box is about 3 pixels wide and shows no info.

  4. The fix worked well but it's all gone again, back to undefined again. HAs it changed or is there a proper permanent fix? Got to redo my overlays and map choices again.

     

    Unfortunately, I've not been able to replicate this problem, and so far, no-one has given me enough detail to be able to figure out what is going on. I'm not sure what might be causing people to see the problem magically get fixed and then broken again. Also, I haven't got a good idea of how the "undefined" problem presents itself. Does it appear in place of the map tiles, or as a pop-up error message, or in place of the map selector widget? What version(s) of GME and your web browser are you using? Was the problem preceeded by getting a message telling you the script was updated? If you're still having problems, let me know - the more detail the better (email via my profile if you don't want to spam this thread).

     

    I have put an updated version of the script (v0.6.7.1) up on userscripts.org that has slightly better handling for configuration errors. That might improve things a bit, but I'm really just guessing at the moment.

     

    Ok, best I can say is that I opened a cache page and the "view larger map" area was plain grey with a couple of cache icons on it. Opening the "larger map" gave a plain grey map with a few cache icons. The top right button to select maps said "undefined".

     

    I applied the fix you suggested, adding 4 lines of text into the Chrome console pane and the maps came back. I just had to add the extra overlays and mapsources I use and change the settings (imperial/metric etc). A couple of days later it was back to the plain grey map, undefined map selecter & no roads just cache icons. Applied the fix and again got the maps back. Had to change settings and add in the extra maps and overlays again. Currently working as it should.

     

    No pop-ups, no message about updated scripts. I'm using Chrome & GME version 6.7

     

     

  5. Still getting this issue today:

     

    No response after 20 seconds

    No response after 40 seconds

     

    ...on each and every 30 cache batch before it eventually comes up with an error and have to retry. Whatever GC did or didn't do on Tuesday, that seems to be when the issue started and yet still no response from them. Come on Geocaching.com, this is pretty much unusable now.

  6. Hi all, a complete newbie here with a newbie question but I've looked and can't find the answer.

     

    I found a Travel Bug, I visited the TB log, saw where it had been and logged that I had it. So far so good.

     

    On the log I see that one person has taken it "visiting" other logs as he/she has spent a day geocaching and has entered each visit as: XXXXX took it to YYYYYY. This seems to be common practise.

     

    I would like to know how to do this as it came with me to a couple of caches after finding it but I still have it (planning to move it closer to it's destination soon). How do I make the visited location a hyperlink linking to the visited cache?

     

    To be clear I want to log: Muddy_Puddles took it to ZZZZZZZZ location where ZZZZZZZZ is a hyperlink to the cache I visited.

     

    Can anyone help?
