Pirates of Ocracoke Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 How do you have your travel bug show the mileage it travels? Quote Link to comment
+ZackJones Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 Mileage is currently disabled due to some techinical issues. It's being worked on and we'll see miles again once it's fixed. Quote Link to comment

+ZackJones Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 I discovered something interesting last night - I was looking at some of my TBs and for kicks I clicked the Recalculate Mileage button and the total mileage did update but the cache-to-cache mileage didn't. So if your TB has moved and the total mileage looks off try clicking on the Recalculate Mileage button and see if it updates. Quote Link to comment
+Thrak Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 It won't work on most. I have a TB that moved from a cache in my home town to another cache in my home town. I live in California. Then it moved to Hawaii and from there to Minnesota. It shows a total of 8.8 miles and the recalculate button doesn't fix that. I'm waiting for Jeremy to get the issue fixed so the bug shows the actual mileage. Quote Link to comment
+ZackJones Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Thrak: You're right. I had one move today in Germany and I tried a recalc and it didn't update. Oh well, I guess we'll just have to sit impatiently and wait. Quote Link to comment
+lydon71 Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 So it's been a little while now, any word on when this issue might be resolved? Quote Link to comment
+BigFurryMonster Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Mileage is currently disabled due to some techinical issues. It's being worked on and we'll see miles again once it's fixed. Hopefully, we're going to see 'Kilometers'. It's a standard (SI) unit for distance. Of course, there should be an option for those who want 'Miles'. Quote Link to comment

For those of us in the UK, we need a miles button because metric is far too advanced for us! Quote Link to comment
+Thrak Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Wahoo!!!! It seems to be fixed. My bug just jumped from 8.8 miles to 3978.6 miles!!! Here's to Jeremy and crew. Quote Link to comment
+jwigner Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Well, it's sorta working. I have one that updated when I hit recalc distance. One was updated and reverted, and the rest are just the same. Quote Link to comment
+BigFurryMonster Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 I think the TB's travels after Jan 27th are not showing in the kilometrage, which is surprisingly still shown in 'miles' ;-) Quote Link to comment
+greiol Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 some bugs seem to be working (with recalc), some don't. even those where recalc seems to work, miss milage if they have been grabbed between two cachelogs. and it's still mileage and not kilometers for those who choose kilometers. but at least something seems to move a little.

+geofunk-e Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Yeah, I'm seeing the same thing - some of them are now calculating the distance from the starting point on the individual TB pages, but aren't adding up the total miles. Also, none of them appear to be updating the total mileage on the TB summary page under my account. some bugs seem to be working (with recalc), some don't. even those where recalc seems to work, miss milage if they have been grabbed between two cachelogs. and it's still mileage and not kilometers for those who choose kilometers. but at least something seems to move a little.

+Bullfrog Eh-Team Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Glad I checked in here to see what was going on. At least I now know it's being worked on!. I had a bug move from Toronto to Costa Rica, and then back to Missouri. I'm real curious to see the new distance recorded. PS - I appreciate the 'Kilometres' I've asked for on my inventory page, but can't get kilometres into the Bug page - any ideas ? Quote Link to comment
+BigFurryMonster Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 I appreciate the 'Kilometres' I've asked for on my inventory page, but can't get kilometres into the Bug page - any ideas ? 'not implemented yet' Quote Link to comment

+Bullfrog Eh-Team Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 No more problems with any of my TBs (eleven). They are alll showing corrected 'mileage' on the bug page, and the corrected 'kilometres' on my 'inventory' page. THANK YOU - Quote Link to comment
+3wildwomen Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 I dropped a bug in NH that I had picked up in MA and the milage isn't showing up. Did I not log correctly or is there still a problem with milage? I looked but couldn't find a reclac button. Quote Link to comment

Did I not log correctly or is there still a problem with milage? I looked but couldn't find a reclac button. The recalc button only shows up for the TB owner to click . It does seem to take longer for mileage to get updated now. I think Groundspeak updates it every so often instead of as soon as a TB is logged. Give it a day and then check the page to see if it has been updated or not. Quote Link to comment
