Caches Along a Route

[+back2eight]

I am trying to plan a route and it is not working. there is some sort of server error that happens every time. Does anyone know what is going on?

Uh, no. You haven't given us much to go on. "Some sort of server error" is not very descriptive. Please post the exact error message.

 

 

I do have a suggestion, try it again with a shorter route. I believe the routes can only be 500 mi long. So try a short route (under 100 miles) and a small width (1 mile) and see if you are still getting the error and go from there.

 

 

Good luck

I'm getting an error as well, and it does not appear to be a "server too busy" or timeout issue. The error comes up every time I try to visit the caches along a route page. The error is:

 

Server Error in '/' Application.

Looks like a small code error. If an admin needs more information, feel free to email me.

There's a thread over in the Geocaching.com forum. The developers read that much more than they read the Getting Started.
