+Dragonfly Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 For over a month most tbs of mine and ones that I move have not been registering mileage. We have contacted Groundspeak about this and receive a form letter.."Jeremy is working on it, it will be resolved in a couple days". I would like to see this addressed with a realistic answer. I saw some bugs released at Christmas with mileage showing, the bugs we sent to New Zealand from Washington State show 0 miles. Hello...at $6.50 apiece it would be nice to have some support soon!

+welch Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Jeremy ET AL have been updating things the last couple weeks, TB mileage apperently got busted/disabled for some reason. I think this affects all TBs, not just those released at Christmas. Eventally it will be fixed, but since Groundspeak isn't good at setting deadlines, noone knows when. If you want a technical reply you might want to reask this question in the geocaching.com forum where Jeremy checks in more frequently. Quote Link to comment
+sawblade5 Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 And they are working on it I have noticed that my bugs have new milage posted on them but not all of it, so they are still working on it. Quote Link to comment
+Ramness Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 I see mileage is starting to reappear again. Problem is when the mileage tracking went down my personal travel bug had 12411 miles on it. I did well over 100 miles of caching while it was down, but now that it is back and miles are listed it didn’t add them to the total! Even hitting recalculate didn’t help. Quote Link to comment
+Ramness Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 And now they are gone again? Quote Link to comment
+Pioneer 'n' Tiff Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Not wanting to complain about the staff - they do a great job. I am a little frustrated at some odd mileages. One of my own travel bugs made the leap from California back to my native Australia: mileage =32 miles. If ONLY it was that close Quote Link to comment
+ZackJones Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Try this folks - if you're the TB owner click on the recalc mileage button. If that doesn't do it then post the TBXXXX number here and we'll provide the list to Raine or Jeremy to check out. Quote Link to comment

When I recalculate my TB's mileage it shows double what it should be. Like my personal TB coin shows 15,000+ miles but when I recal it will be 31,000+ plus I don't think the original 15,00 is right. It should be over 10,000 and maybe 12,000. Quote Link to comment
+ZackJones Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Woody_K: It only seems to be wrong on the page where all of your coins are listed. On the individual page it appears to be correct. Odd for sure. Quote Link to comment

Odd for sure. If I recalculate and then go to the page listing all my TB then it shows the improper mileage. Only when I recal is it wrong. Quote Link to comment
+ZackJones Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Woody_K: Your best best is to send the TBXXXX number to contact@geocaching.com. Please keep us posted on how things turn out. What kind of motorcycle is that in your avatar? Quote Link to comment
+woody_k Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 That one is my 2005 Yamaha FZ6 I got for Christmas. I have 2. The other one is a dual sport BMW F650GS. Quote Link to comment
+Thrak Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 When I look at my USA Geocoin Movin' On it shows 6404.4 miles - sounds right to me. However, if I click on Recalculate Distance it goes nuts and changes to show 10339.9 miles!!! Now for a while I had a problem where this bug showed almost no mileage even though it had gone from California to Hawaii and then to Minnesota. They have finally gotten it to show the correct mileage - unless I try the recalculate link..... What's up with that? Quote Link to comment
+ZackJones Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 There are still issues with getting mileage updated correctly, no doubt . I just checked some of my TBs that have moved recently and one that moved in early March didn't have the mileage updated but one that moved yesterday did. Quote Link to comment
+Nocturnal Navigators Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 I was going to start a mileage marker for myself today. Now I'm wondering if I should wait till the miles are fixed for sure. Quote Link to comment

I wouldn't wait. They will get it fixed eventually. Besides if you wait you'll have to go back and log old finds or start it logging your miles at a later date. Quote Link to comment
+Ramness Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 I just moved 4 travel bugs 350 miles to florida. Only 1 shows the miles added to it. I also loggeg my personal travel bug in and out of 24 caches while there, it shows no miles added either. Quote Link to comment
+ZackJones Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Ramness570: What, if anything, happens when you click the recalc button? Quote Link to comment
