Of course, as soon as I posted this, I now can sign out. All fixed???

Attempting to sign out from geocaching.com takes me to the "geocaching.com is down for maintenance" page.

Paperless Caching Car Gps:Garmin nuvi 500 or 550?
Frank and Peggy replied to iroy1000's topic in GPS technology and devices
As far as I know, those are the only ones that have geocaching built in. We're real happy with our 500. -
No shows on the PQ's this morning?
Frank and Peggy replied to DadOf6Furrballs's topic in General geocaching topics
None for us either. -
not all the caches in the PQ
Frank and Peggy replied to Team Luvbassn's topic in General geocaching topics
I had the same problem with my wife's Colorado 500t. There appears to be an 8 meg file size limit. I found it out when I loaded a 12 meg file and some of the caches were missing. I reduced the number of logs to get under the 8 meg restriction. No more problems. The GSAK forums have a thread about the problem. -
At one time, an illegal "placed between date" in a pocket query (i.e., 6/31/09) would result in an error message when the PQ was submitted. Later, illegal dates couldn't happen since only legal days of the month were made available in the pull down list based on a month and year. Now, an illegal date is accepted and when the PQ is run, it always returns 500 caches. It's not a big deal, but it was nice not having to figure out how many days there were in February.

Not in mine either (12:30:26)

I get a "Server Error in "/" Application" message when I try to submit a played log.
-
Both are checked. Can you verify whether show a stream just south of N44˚ 17', W85˚ 23'. I did with the original set but not now. Garmin is supposed to get back to me.

I was real happy with my NUVI 500 until I loaded the free map update. Prior to the update, the original maps showed small lakes, streams and rivers, swamps, etc along with topography. After the update, it's just City Navigator 2010 plus contours. No rivers or lakes. I'm currently trying to find out from Garmin how I can reload the original maps. If I had it to do over, I would have simply loaded City Navigator 2010 on the SD card as an additional map set and selected it when I needed it.

Yes!

I've experienced this behavior before when the gc.com mailer was backed up. Is this a similar problem?
-
Same here. 2 out of five arrived in my gmail inbox. Frank

I have exactly the same problem as The Blorenges and I use gmail. Who is your ISP? If the PQs ran, they are probably being throttled or blocked by your email provider . . . Since I changed to Gmail, I have not had a problem getting PQs that run. Edit to add appropriate quote and to say I'm requesting a PQ . . . we'll see if it arrives in my Gmail account.

I generate .gpx files using DeLorme SA2009+ and GPSBABEL. It worked fine until about a week ago. I generate 100 points, GC reports only 49 and, like others, won't let me save it. I thought it was my problem. Now I think it's theirs.
-
I prefer to use Delorme SA+ instead of Google earth to generate my routes and have been unable to get geocaching.com to accept either my .kml or .gpx files. After saving my routes as .anr files, I simplify them to 100 points and export them using gpsbabel to create .gpx or .kml files. When I upload a .kml file, geocaching.com says, "Sorry! We encountered an error when requesting that page!". Uploading the .gpx file simply returns me to the upload page without doing anything. Has anyone had success loading files created by gpsbabel?

1) Armed mouse trap 2) Used stick deodorant

What's with the green box between the "additional hints" and the "logged visits" on the print friendly page. It showed up when the Google maps were announced and sucks up about a quarter of a page.
-
We also hope the "print-friendly" pages continue to use MapQuest. Also, there seems to be an empty green box between the hints and LOGGED VISITS that takes up a lot of space on the "print-friendly" page. Frank

GSAK (Geocaching Swiss Army Knife)
Frank and Peggy replied to ClydeE's topic in GPS technology and devices
I usually "clear database before loading" when I add a new PQ. The corrected coordinates get added to the updated database but the user flags don't. Is there any way to have the user flags stick? -

Gsak (geocaching Swiss Army Knife)
Frank and Peggy replied to ClydeE's topic in GPS technology and devices
I'm trying to print a list of one of my databases in grid column format and I keep getting the following message; "Ths file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Folder Options control panel." How do I do that? The control panel associates an .htm file (the type of file it's complaining about) with Firefox. Am I missing something?

Worst Item Ever Found In A Cache By You?
Frank and Peggy replied to Midnight Rider's topic in General geocaching topics
A half used tube of deodorant and a condom. The owner said she filled the cache with stuff she found in her car. We couldn't imagine what else was in her car. -
SCREEN NAME IS MORE THAN AN ALIAS
Frank and Peggy replied to sept1c_tank's topic in General geocaching topics
I started out as frank since that's been my screen name everywhere for about 15 years. When my wife got involved I had Jeremy change our geocaching nickname to reflect it. I do wish I had been more creative 5 1/2 years ago but we've been using it too long to change now. -
