Maybe its been fixed, as I can see a retrieve option.
i cant .. Safari browser .. actually its a bit complicated
I was just about to grab it, but it was grabbed by a friend (instead of discovered), she was a few seconds faster and I got error.. so I reloaded the page and now I can only see "post a note" or "discover" but cant grab it
I think the GC should downgrade to the previous version, its one bug after another ..
-
The only way around it (that I have found so far) is to open "add picture in gallery" in separate tabs so that you don't mind when the extra tab is closed afterward, but that is just a way around the bug, not the solution ..

When you want to add an image to the listing, not only do you encounter the error as described HERE, but you also have to be quite patient.
1) you need to click EDIT listing
2 ) now you have to scroll down (all the way) and click "add picture to the gallery"
3) now you can choose your picture and add it (as per the bug, mentioned above)
And here is a problem: in the old way of listing, you could continue adding more and more pictures to the listing .. but in this "new design" it kicks you out after you upload a picture. So that you have to go through steps 1 to 3 again and again and again .. depending on how many pictures you need to add .. who the hell came out with it .. this is so far probably the worst design I have seen .. or are you suggesting we should stop inserting images while creating caches? It's one after another ...

When adding a new image (uploading while creating geocache/event) to the listing, it shows an error (can't add it, PNG, JPG, etc), but as I found out, there is a simple "trick" to it .. just hit the button "rotate 90°" and hit it 4 times to rotate the image by 360° and it "fix" whatever the problem was and the image is accepted

after all those years - would be possible to fix (upgrade) the way we work, witch coordinates .. not sure if I should call it bug or feature request
just look at google maps (or any major online map system) .. you can use any of the following
- N 49°6.21858', E 17°12.95968'
- N 49°6.21858' E 17°12.95968'- N 49° 6.21858' E 17° 12.95968'
- 49°6'13.115"N, 17°12'57.581"E- 49.1036431N, 17.2159947E
etc.
Doesnt matter the spacing, comma in the middle, or different versions of GPS settings .. it can work with it .. SO I AM QUITE CURIOUS WHILE GEOCACHING CANT .. AFTER ALL THOSE YEARS .. ACCEPT THAT????
for example if you are creating cache/even it can work with something like N 49°6.21858', E 17°12.95968' but when you EDIT you have to follow the exact form N 49° 06.224 E 017° 12.972 (N "gap" 49 "gap" 06.224 "gap and no comma in between" E "gap" 017 "gap" 12.972) and you have to follow it exactly .. seriously??? after all those years and you couldn't fix that?

would it be possible to create some sort of templates for CITO/EVENT? I organize some CITO/Events on a yearly basis, while others do a few times a year, and would be nice to have some sort of templates to use (perhaps part of Premium)?
The problem is not creating the listing (that I can easily copy and just adjust a few lines here and there) but it is bothering to copy all the waypoints (several parking points, etc), attributes, etc .. shouldn't be too difficult to have some, right?
-
hi, pls check the listing https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC9VK7N_cimburk-ix
when I uploaded the photo of logbook, you can see that it is partially deformed in the upper right corner by the "hint option" - as per attached
I have tried safari and brave and it both showed this problem. I checked my other listings, but none of the others seems to be effected.

Hello,
since Groundspeak won't show us the Adventure Lab caches on the standard map it would be very nice if one could browse for them at https://labs.geocaching.com/.
It is a bit frustrating to just see then on the phone and also makes it a bit difficult to plan your trips.
this is quite tired some .. for example there are 2 or more labs in the same general area, so as you go, you need to leave one advanture, enter a different one find the place, log it and agan .. would be nice to see and log them all from the map, without the need of swithching between adventures ..
also, it would be nice, if the IOS app would stop killing iTunes .. whenever I listen music, and start adventure lab it stops the music .. is there any lab with sound??

Hi,
I am sorry to bother you but ... I would like to ask if anyone knows "bondwilder" he has my geocoin for almost a year now and is not responding to e-mails. I would like to know the current status of the GC
here are the details
http://www.geocaching.com/track/details.aspx?id=2686161
I would like to thank you in advance for any help

That's a really good point. But some of the other questions GC (or any potential developer) has to ask are:
1) How many geocachers are Windows Mobile users?
2) How many would pay for an app?
3) As GC already built a huge business without WinMo, (a) how many potential customers do they gain by explicitly supporting an app for it? And (
how many do they lose by not supporting it?4) How easy would it be to (a) develop and (
market the application?I'm guessing Groundspeak asked questions 1/2/3 more than once, and always thought the numbers too small. And while Tom's app answers 4(a) -- it's possible to do; it perhaps diminishes 4(
because he gives it away for free.1) just search the owners of mobiles .. as an example http://www.geocaching.com/reviews/gps_htc
- EG HTC Touch Diamond (1416 Owned) / HTC Kaiser (1220 Owned) / etc .. I would bet that most of these are still running the WM .. don't remember who else (not just HTC) makeing WM devices, but I bet there are also some
2) I would ... don't know about others
3) sometimes people take out friends, and they starts to like it (got few of those) and some them decide to pay .. if you cut of these folks, they got no one to take out ..
4) can't you just negotiate with the developers of already existing apps? with the freeware apps it should be easier to negotiate as the authors are already doing it for free

You don't own a computer?Also since my phone is my only geocaching devise I will not be able to return the trackables I have until the app or something similar start workingI log -most- of my finds in the field from my phone, but if I ever need to edit a log later or drop a tracackable I just do it from my computer at home.
that is the beauty that I not only can pick up trackable, but also log it down as I go. yes I do use computer, but mainly for fun (statistics). What I love about XXX is not just the possibility to look around any time and anywehere, but also that I can log all trackable and drop it anywhere I like. basically I have no more need to use computer.
now the situation is changed, I have to use PQ, and when I got home I am literally forced to turn the computer on and do all the work (log, etc) on the computer.
and why all the screaming? the issue is that so far as I have found out this XXX app is the only one that is easy to use, and do everything I need. I haven't found any other that I could use as a replacement. just give me app that would do all that is required and I will "shut-up"...

In case some of you have totally missed it - there is at least some development work for winmo - the platform is NOT abondoned.
I already tried, but has lots of bugs, a very small number of features and isn't updated since 10/02/2009
I agree that is just a piece of junk, unfriendly to use, and ... well I would expect a lot more from version 0.98 while XXXX is 0.2.35.35 and is a lot better, user friendly and ... well I could add a lot more, but you will most-likely moderate this message so why to waste my time :-D
-
LOL - developer of that which must not be mentioned - let's call him lord Voldemort :-D
to the point, I got my HTC for work, fun, organizer, etc (just like people got iPhone, except that working part), but I don't understand why (even as PM) I am being discriminated. All I did is to dare to use WM OS. is that such a crime?
if XXXX is such a crime activity, can you let me know what to use? and pls, don't tell me to buy something else .. i am fine with my HTC Rhodium as it is
thx
EDIT: if you check my public profile on GC.com you can see that last year there was sudden increase in founds, and why? because I discovered XXXX, and now when I become PM, I found out that I am most likely to loose the possibility to use XXX .. now what? any chance to get the money back? because I see no reason why to buy extra device ...

market the application?
because he gives it away for free.
Trouble creating or editing logs from my MacBook
in Website
Posted · Edited by Orxion
same solution like with picture upload .. just click something from the menu (bold, etc - as per attached) and you can start writing your log .. and once you are done, just delete the extra symbols
Safari, MBP M1
