I just went to Garmin Express and installed version 7.22.1.0, but I still get the same error message when I try to download caches from a List.
So, maybe the problem is at Groundspeak

I am having the same problem.

Refreshing the web page works for browser but how to refresh in Geocaching app? I have never learned that basic trick!
Open the cache in the app and then swipe down with your finger.
I just had this problem this morning while enabling a disabled cache. Glad I was able to find this remedy. It worked!
Thank you!

Having found over 300 benchmarks that I've been able to log, I have enjoyed these in addition to the caches I find. On a rainy day where caching isn't practical, benchmarks of church steeples, water towers etc have been a great backup activity.
I would have more benchmark "finds" but the database not being updated has meant that many I have found just weren't able to be logged.
If one finds a benchmark, but can't log the find due to the absence of the mark on the site, it isn't lack of activity, it is lack of verifiable activity.
Kind of like the tree falling in the forest that nobody hears? It still fell.
I suppose that GS has their mind made up, but I still think it is a bad decision.

As I head for a cache in an area that allows hunting during the season, if there are no vehicles in the parking lot, I might wear my orange vest and go on in. If there are vehicles, I just leave. The hunter has the short season to enjoy hunting, but we get the rest of the year to go find the caches.

Just a few minutes ago, I tried again using Chrome. It seems to be working now.
-
I uninstalled Chrome, then installed it again. Still have the problem, so something must be wrong the current version of that browser.
-
I was on Google Chrome before. I moved to Firefox and that worked. So there must be a Chrome problem.
Thank you.

Sorry, I meant the "Lists" that is over from my handle on the main page.
I wanted to download a list of caches from "My Lists".
I hope that clarifies my problem.
-
I click on "Lists", the page begins to open. I get the header at the top, but the loading stops. I have the green loading icon just sitting there stopped.
-
I tried that and it didn't work, so I tried again with using "Last 24 Hours" instead of last hour. That did the trick for me.
-
I just came back and tried again. Chrome does not work; but Edge and Firefox seem to work fine for me.
-
I just went to a cache page, then hit the "View Larger Map", and I still get the white page.
Edit: I am using Chrome Browser.
-
If one of my caches gets the "TB listed is missing" report, I will mark the TB as "Missing". There is a CO in my area that has a TB Hotel, but when I have messaged the CO that TB's are missing, I get no response. The old lead the horse to water, but can't make the horse drink it scenario.
I will report what TB's are missing in caches that I visit; I'm sure the next looker would like to know.

Minnesota banned caches in rest areas several years ago, but you will still find some that were placed before the ban.

I do appreciate the feedback. It does tell me that I definitely should have allowed more time. A week would have been a much better choice.

Yesterday, I had a log come in on a cache of mine that said "he didn't have a pen, but the log was nice and dry". This didn't sound valid to me so I sent a PM right away asking him to describe the cache or the area at gz so I could let the log stand. Nothing happened after 24 hours, so I deleted it. About an hour ago he responds with correct info, but now doesn't want a find since I deleted his "honest find". And claims it says more about me than him.
Just following the geocaching guidelines about signing logs.
Maybe I was too hasty deleting it, but in this 'instantly happening' world where caches are logged from phones, I thought I allowed enough time for a response.

I was another who used 2 different state lists to find out immediately about events, new caches, and travelbugs. Very disappointed with this decision.?

Yes, using Chrome and Windows 10 got me nowhere. Using Firefox to log in and get here, but that is far as I can go.
-
The newest version of Garmin Express is 6.8.1.0 now.
-
A new version of Garmin Express is available. It is Version 6.7.2.0. I followed the instructions and have now loaded a new list of caches for today.
-
My Garmin Express wouldn't send a list to my gps using Chrome or Firefox.
I downloaded another Garmin Express and it seems to work ok now.
-
Thank you, Ben H!
I updated to Garmin Express 6.6.0.0, and my Map64S downloaded the latest list like a champ!

Jess?, you didn't saty if you were trying to use the old Garmin Communicator, or if you were using the newer "Send to Garmin" feature. The old one is kaput.
I was having problems loading caches to my Map64s while using the "Send to Garmin" feature. I called Garmin, and after running some tests we determined that one of the caches on my list probably had a bad GPX file. Other lists had loaded fine.
After hanging up the phone, I managed to find the bad file. If I add it to the list, the file won't download. When I remove the particular cache, the list downloads to my Map64s just like it should. Just make sure your Garmin Express is up to date. Version 6.0.0.0 is the one.
The bad file belongs to GC7FRNV, which is an Earthcache.

Yes, it just worked for me too. And the caches do show up on my gps.
Thank you for correcting the issue.
