Problem with caches on a route

[+Pieman]

I've been trying to use a track in Memory Map v5 to create a caches along a route PQ, without success. I create the track in Memory Map, select it and Export it as a gpx file. When I upload the gpx file into the "caches along a route" page on GC.com I get an error message. I get this regardless of the size of the track. Anybody know what I'm doing wrong?

Wild stab in the dark guess...

 

The track may have too many waypoints, draw a simpler route and try that.

 

Second thoughts...

 

I THINK it only works with routes, and not tracks.

I tried a straight quarter mile track and that failed too. I thought it only worked with tracks and not routes (from Pengy & Tiggers guide to creating caches along a route) but I'll give it a go when I get home.

Ah!! thats solved a problem that Id tried to solve, got bored and forgotten about long ago when I first tried using caches along a route!

 

Just tried a Route on MM as opposed to Track and worked first time!

 

THANKS!

Even if you create a track in MM, convert it (right click on it, convert to route) to a route (it must be a route with waypoints - a MM track doesn't have waypoints) before saving as a gpx file.

Max way points is 500 and max length 500 miles.

I get the same error message when I use a route. I'm afraid.

All sorted. I needed to save as a route (not a track) in MM by right clicking the route and not using Export All- no idea why that should be important.
