Yes, I'm seeing the same thing (Firefox 124.0.2 on Windows 10, if that makes any difference). I checked the filter settings and it's set for all caches, not just the enabled ones.

Why is it when I click on my friends list of caches they found on a particular day (example friend X found 9 caches on 4/17/24) it brings up a list of every cache friend X has ever found since he started caching. The filter is automatically set to (Old to New) and I have to shrink my screen down to 50% to be able to change it to (New to Old). This started happening about 2 weeks ago and only with multiple finds. Single finds on a given day bring up the single cache. It happens using Chrome or Edge browsers on a Windows 11 Computer. Thanks Gary Rindfleisch Cacheman44

I use a smartphone when hiding caches, but the phone is connected to the Garmin GLO receiver. It could be better to ask the estimated percentage of players who use only a smartphone GPS receiver. That number is constantly rising.

Using chrome on Windows 10, I can't change my profile pic because this error keeps popping up

Greetings-- Just upgraded to a GPSmap 67i from a 64st, added a 32gb microSD card, and the first thing I noticed it that when plugged into the Mac, it no longer shows up as a drive (or 2) on my desktop, thus my iCaching software doesn't see it directly for purposes of export. Garmin support told me I needed the Android File Transfer utility see the units directory and transfer files to the GPX directory. That worked, booted up and voila!. Tried to find them again the next day and nothing. Support had me verify the PQs were enabled and to use both AFT to load files to the directory, import them into BaseCamp then Xfer to the 67i. After reinstating BC (not my favorite piece of software), I was able to get the PQ loaded onto the unit. Not exactly a clean way to do so after the iCaching/GPSmap 64st combo I've used for years. Does anyone know a more efficient way to do so? I can run Windows and try GSAK, but would rather not.

Ik heb een Garmin chirp overgenomen en wil deze opnieuw instellen op mijn Garmin Oregon 700. De GPS herkent de chirp en geeft de geprogrammeerde coördinaten van de vorige eigenaar door. Ik krijg een bericht op de GPS: Progr.chirp!22 BOOTS. Als ik op deze roodgekleurde melding tik, valt de GPS helemaal uit en moet ik het apparaat opnieuw opstarten. Dit heb ik al 5x geprobeerd met steeds hetzelfde resultaat. De GPS gaat niet verder met meldingen over programmeren, maar schakelt zichzelf uit. Hoe kan ik dit oplossen?

Recently, as in the last week or so, logs aren't loading when I view a cache page. It used to load the newest half a dozen logs with a scroll feature to load older ones. Now the only way I can see logs is by clicking on "View All Logs", something I'm not always willing to do (like if there are thousands of logs). This problem is occurring on a laptop running Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2 and Chrome version 123.0.6312.123 (just updated Chrome to this version to see if that fixed the problem, but it didn't). Cache pages viewed on an iPad with Safari browser are still displaying normal log behavior. I also tried Edge on the laptop and cache pages were loading logs correctly, so I suspect the problem is with Chrome. I really need/want to use Chrome as I have a crap-ton of bookmarks and I can't get Edge to behave the way I want. Any help (besides changing browsers) appreciated. Mrs. Car54

One of my caches GCA3Q55, an image-based puzzle based on RGB values that was published over a year ago and has been fine until now, has suddenly become problematic for some players with the image not showing on their devices. It's fine on my Windows PC and Android phone running the official app, but it apparently doesn't show on iOS phones with either the official app or Cachly. On the cache page I used the following URL to display the image: https://www.dropbox.com/s/fuh608u83qisvxz/GCA3Q55.png?dl=1 I can't use the geocaching site to host the image because all uploaded images now get quietly converted to progressive jpeg which destroys the exact RGB values. Any thoughts on this?

Und gegen wen genau schützt du den Cache dann? Gefühlt 80% der Cacher sind doch PMs. Und die anderen haben die alten Koordinaten ja noch. Dass nur Basic Member böse sind, kann ich irgendwie nicht glauben. Heutzutage ist es doch eher so, dass die Newbies es gewohnt sind, dass alle möglichen Dienste Geld kosten (Streaming- und Gaming-Abos etc.) und eher für PM bezahlen als die "alten Hasen", die nur alle paar Wochen mal mit dem alten Garmin in den Wald ziehen.

Okay... here we go! PS: Logging on STAGING was throwing an error. This is why is I reproduced the issue on LIVE with an archived cache of an inactive owner STEP 1 - There are no drafts STEP 2 - Upload drafts Let's assume that I have a brand new (Garmin) GPSr and I have found one single cache. The geocache_visits.txt file looks like this: GC3GKH8,2024-04-03T11:43Z,Found it,"Draft 1" STEP 3 - Log the cache -> Result: Cache has a smiley on all maps/lists and the draft entry is gone -> No problems so far 👍 STEP 4 - One day later - we found another cache Now, the geocache_visits.txt file looks like this: GC3GKH8,2024-04-03T11:43Z,Found it,"Draft 1" GC3GFWJ,2024-04-04T10:24Z,Found it,"Draft 2" -> Yes, the (Garmin) TXT file contains *all* found caches (up to 1000) PROBLEM 1: After uploading the TXT file, the Drafts section unfortunately contains both (all) caches. This is a real pain because the list is getting longer and longer every day. Until June 2023, the upload process ignored already uploaded drafts. STEP 5 - Deleting the duplicates All I can do now is to delete the duplicate entries one by one and then log the remaining (new) ones. This leads to PROBLEM 2: After deleting the duplicate draft, the smiley is replaced by an exclamation mark (forever): Hope this helps...

Right. It's an Windows app. GSAK, to be precise.

Kind of an old thread and you may have moved on or given up but if you bought City Navigator pre-installed on a micro SD card from Garmin then you can transfer the card from GPS to GPS and it should work. No unlock codes required. Here are a couple of things to look at. Go to the map page on the GPS and click menu. Scroll down and select, "Setup". Are any maps listed? Is the check box under, "Show" checked? Another thing to try is to connect the GPS to a computer with a USB cable. Click the menu button twice and select, "Setup". In the Setup menu select, "Interface". At the top under USB does it say, "Connected"? If it does go down to the bottom and select, "USB Mass Storage". That should open the file manager on your PC and the SD card should show as a USB Drive (#:). In the Garmin folder you should see a map file called, "gmapsupp.img". Anyway that should tell you if there are maps on the SD card and if the GPS can read the card. I always loved my 60CSx, it was one of my favorite units back in the day. I still have it, and would never part with it, but I haven't used it in years.

The instructions and the promo code are near the bottom of this page: https://geoguessr.geocaching.com/ The screen shots on that page are tiny, but I think they're basically what I'm getting. And at the bottom, I do have a "Redeem code" selection (I did not try to redeem a code). It's a "Google Account Payment method". Are you logged into an active Google Play account (able to make purchases)? If you dig around in the FAQ, there are steps to enter the code in IOS if it doesn't work in the App, basically do it through iTunes. You must have "the app installed", and must be on an IOS phone (in the case of redeeming it for IOS). What happens if you do a similar thing on Android with Google Play? You can try Redeem Code within the Play Store App. However, that screen looks only slightly from the screenshot above. If that doesn't work, there's a similar web link: https://play.google.com/store/games?device=windows&code

I don't know why everyone's experiences seem to differ. I clicked the link, followed instructions, got the first 'prize' at 5/10, and clear instructions for the TB at 10/10. I didn't know there was a first TB code to find so didn't see that, but I got the souvenir, no confusion. Like I said, there must be some inconsistent UI design depending on people's platform. Windows desktop in Chrome seemed just fine. *shrug*

I'm getting the same error. It was once much less complicated! The sequence I'm seeing is: In any List, attempt to Send To Garmin, and a window pops up that says: "Allow Garmin Express Your browser will ask you to open the application. Make sure to choose the option to launch Garmin Express." This is followed by no browser asking anything. Click OK, and the box closes, and is replaced by "An Error Occurred". At this point, Garmin Express has opened perfectly fine behind all other windows. And it has a box that says "Content Ready to Download". Click continue, and the requested GPX List file is placed onto the Garmin. Do the same with another List, go through that entire process again. It is working, except that there's more manual interactivity required. I don't like the additional weirdness. In your case, maybe you need to update and open Garmin Express and then try it. Or post the exact steps and errors, and your OS and Garmin Express version. Don't want to tell you how to do things, but the above is why I use Pocket Queries instead, including Lists as Pocket Queries. And if I'm "downloading" a List or PQ or a single cache, I'm "Downloading" it as a GPX, I NEVER use "Send To Garmin", because of this exact thing. It's chock full of unpleasant surprises. I'm not excited about fiddling with the bug of the day. I need to load a GPX and go. Just before I saw your post, I saved a couple of GPX files from the web site to my Oregon 750 without issue. I don't see the Garmin Express problems, because I deliberately bypass them.

Thanks for the patch, it fixed my problem straight away. I did have to get it through my anti-virus and Windows Defender however to run it.

Maybe you have found yourself in such a situation. I have never found myself in such a situation because I don't search for challenge caches that I don't already qualify for. A few years back, I was with a group of cachers doing a bunch of caches around the Colo River north-west of Sydney, including a trail of challenge caches. There were some I qualified for, some I was close to qualifying and some I was well short of, but they were all in the PQ of the area I'd loaded onto my Garmin the night before and couldn't easily tell which was which while we were walking along the trail, so I just signed the log of each cache we found and left it until I got home to decide which ones got Found logs and which got WNs. Since then, I've qualified for one or two I was close to and added a Found log. There's another challenge cache GC5KEY1 that I'm slowly working towards. It requires 40 finds that are terrain 4 or higher and with the Cliifs/Falling Rocks, Scenic View and Difficult Climb attributes and so far I have 27, so it'll probably be at least some years before I qualify. The cache itself, in fairly remote mountainous country, is terrain 4.5 and has all those attributes so it's not one I'd want to attempt alone, and given I turn 70 later this year, it may well be beyond my physical abilities by the time I do qualify. So if my group of caching friends were to organise a trip out there I'd jump at the chance to join them and at least get my name in the logbook while I'm able to, and if that were to happen I'd probably then make more of an effort to find the remaining 13 caches I need.

Beste geocaches, Ik heb nogal slechte ervaringen met Garmin . 2 apparaten versleten in 5 jaar tijd. Garmin weigert mijn Oregon 700 van 3 jaar oud te repareren. Op internet kan ik niet echt een alternatief vinden op Garmin . Heeft iemand anders ook deze ervaringen met Garmin en weet iemand misschien een goed alternatief.

For me, Windows 11 and Chrome, things are all working fine now.

For me it is - runs fine with MS Edge - with firefox the cache listing does not show neither map nor logs nor advertisments - with firefox it does not help reloading the page What I see - MS Edge much faster loads all the postloading details Windows 10. Firefox 124.0 (64) MS Edge 122.0.2365.92

Yes, I have the same problems on Firefox - Windows 11 No logs appear on any cache page - beneath "Sorting' I also cannot save any personal notes.

I checked just now, and the first time the cache page I tested was opened, it was fine. On the first refresh, I saw the issue of no logs, as described above. Subsequent refreshes were OK.

BrandiiPrime Origin Story (Long but hopefully entertainingly relatable): Picture this: The year is 2007, the location is Oregon and I just turned 23... someone I knew told me about some kind of game that involved finding hidden treasure and how people ALL around the world are on the good ol’ world wide web uploading GPS coordinates so strangers could go out and find it. I thought to myself... Say no more... So... yes, I was really out there thinking what a great idea… a solo female in the PNW wilderness with my 2005 4cyl Ford Focus, armed with nothing but a pixelated print out from Google Maps yep… you read that right Google Maps lol (I mean I didn’t even get an iPhone till 2008) and I suppose... maybe a sense of adventure. Fast forward to when I upgraded from white knuckle driving, wasted gas and DNF’s to a Garmin Oregon 600— And in 2018, I finally decided to jump on the app. One of the most exciting aspects of my geocaching journey has been witnessing the community evolve. Back in the day, spotting fellow women geocachers my age was rare! But now, it's heartening to see the diverse range of adventurers from all walks of life joining the ranks. Geocaching has been my ticket to discovering some truly incredible locations which I wouldn't have stumbled upon otherwise. My absolute favorite finds are those elusive caches reported over and over DNF with a note from the owner defiantly declaring, "It's still there!" Sure, there have been a few questionable locations along the way (note to self: maybe avoid the abandoned stretches of rural Oregon towns claiming there is a micro on a “free puppies sign” when you’re caching alone… sorta kidding lol -eekk), but hey, every cache has a tale right?! So, if you have read up to this point you know I live in Oregon, allegedly home of (trigger warning for some lol) the first geocache: N 45° 17.460 W 122° 24.800 placed by Dave Ulmer. If you don’t know why I said trigger warning lol or the “lore” surrounding this, I encourage you to use your geo senses read the forums/research and report back who you think the “first” was. Now, let me introduce you to my FEARLESS caching co-piot – my daughter. She's been coming along on my geocaching escapades since she could barely walk (she is now a teenager and still loves going)! As one might imagine Oregon can often be quite remote with lots of critters that go bump in the night ...actually they go bump in the day too – *confession* I may be a bit of a geo scaredy-cat when it comes to snakes, she's definitely the fearless one in our duo. What does 2024 have in store? I am diving headfirst into the world of complex geocache builds. Considering I live in the 3rd largest city in Oregon there are not currently many local hides outside of the classic micros/parking lot or cache and dashes. I am aiming for folks who are city cachers or have accessibility needs to find caches that are just as exciting as the ones we have to travel/hike to. I don’t know what has taken so long to finally integrate myself into the geocaching community but here I am haha! I am so beyond grateful for all the adventures I've experienced over the years, and I can't wait to help create similar memories for new cachers. <3 Brandi

From this morning (13th March 2024) the text box within individual list items on bookmark lists no longer formats correctly in that each 'new line' is now not being recognized by the browser. This results in one (incredibly) long line of text a bit like some sort of 'stream-of- consciousness' . Is contrast to the text with line breaks, this change is making each text box virtually unreadable. It doesn't seem to be a fault with a specific browser as it's happening with Windows on both Chrome and Firefox, and on Apple with Safari. For example, this is what it should look like: "MULTI - Fine Pair # 1800 ~ Stanmer GET 2 FROM HERE N 50° 52.234 W 000° 06.083 P&D car park looking at the postbox collect the following information. Last Collection Time: - Monday to Friday: - A:00am Saturday: - B:00am The Last Collection in the Area: - C:00pm from DE North Road . N 50 5(C-D).(D+E)(B-C)(B-E) W 0 0(C-E).(E*E)(D/E)(D+E) . MICRO / magnetic." From this morning, ON SCREEN ONLY, it now looks like this: "MULTI - Fine Pair # 1800 ~ Stanmer GET 2 FROM HERE N 50° 52.234 W 000° 06.083 P&D car park looking at the postbox collect the following information. Last Collection Time: - Monday to Friday: - A:00am Saturday: - B:00am The Last Collection in the Area: - C:00pm from DE North Road . N 50 5(C-D).(D+E)(B-C)(B-E) W 0 0(C-E).(E*E)(D/E)(D+E) . MICRO / magnetic." As well as documenting my progress for challenge caches I also use list item text boxes for parking details, multi info and formulae etc on caching day trips. I might have 50 caches and 50 different locations to visit on one trip, so I would normally print something like this to guide me during the day. When I go to print the list with all that crucial info, the text box disappears completely (as if it's a mobile device display) and all I'm left with is the bookmark list showing each title of the list entries themselves. It means I can no longer use bookmark lists to help me plan my caching trips
