+alciato Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 (edited) Uploading a GPX format route file seems to have broken when all the changes were put in last month. This was reported and confirmed in another thread. However, that thread also discussed a number of other problems, and it seems that this particular one got lost in the noise. If it's just me being stupid, I'd like some help getting it working again. If it's a problem with the site, I'd like some confirmation from gc.com that they know about the problem and will address it. Here are the steps I've taken: Create Route in MapSource, export as GPX Go to http://www.geocaching.com/my/userroutes.aspx and select the "Upload GPX / KML" tab Click the "Browse..." button and select the .gpx file with the route. Click the "Upload" button. No errors are reported, but the list of uploaded files is empty so I cannot proceed further. Using Windows XP/Firefox 2.0.0.9 Uploading also fails with an old .gpx route file that I uploaded successfully 6 month ago. This behavior has been confirmed by several other posters in the other thread: http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php...t&p=3128222 http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php...t&p=3132041 http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php...t&p=3132810 http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php...t&p=3134634 http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php...t&p=3127424 One person reported using Delorme Topo instead of MapSource to create the GPX and getting the same result: http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php...t&p=3145554 Apparently uploading a KML file still works, this is only a problem with GPX files.

+StarBrand Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 The workaround that got me through this error was to open the GPX route in Google Earth and then save that as a KML and upload to the site. Saving the mapsource as a KML didn't work either. Only worked to transform it in GE. Link to comment
+alciato Posted November 13, 2007 Author Share Posted November 13, 2007 Bump. I'm looking for some acknowledgment that this issue has reached the ears of gc.com, and that it is on the to-do list.
