+derrylynne Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I have loaded a file from google earth of a route we will be taking in a weeks time - have done this before so should be straightforward. Got a nice kml file. Uploaded it so I can do a search for caches along the route. I go to pocket queries - then to find caches along route - then to my created routes - then find the route I have saved to this - and click create pocket query - then get an error saying internet explorer cannnot open the site so it is abandoned. Anyone any ideas what is going on? Quote Link to comment

Anyone any ideas what is going on? Yep... Not been working for a while, although if you download and use Firefox, it works fine. Seems it's a Windows IE problem. I don't usually use firefox, but had one heck of a lot of cache planning to do, so downloaded it, used it and removed it again. Quote Link to comment
+keehotee Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I haven't been able to upload routes as .kml files for a while - using Firefox. I've been doing mine using memory map .gpx's instead, and they work fine (if a little more long winded to produce) Quote Link to comment
+The Blorenges Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 There is a thread on the main forum about this. Looks like a problem but not sure if GC are looking into it. Chris (MrB) Quote Link to comment

Chris (MrB) Thanks Chris. Will look at that. Need to get the route sorted so going to have to find a way to download this. But seems some it works for firefox not for others. How can you get this done using memory map gpx? Quote Link to comment

+HazelS Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Arc builder has been suggested previously... Arc Builder is all very well and good, but when you have done your route and got your KML file, it's when you come to run the PQ you get the problem... that's when I chop to Firefox. You can do the route no prob in IE, but running the PQ has to be done in Forefox atm. Quote Link to comment
+Bear and Ragged Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Hmmm... I'm allergic to mikrosuft and Internut explorur, so only use Firefox. Quote Link to comment
+derrylynne Posted July 26, 2008 Author Share Posted July 26, 2008 Thanks guys. Downloaded Firefox - and works perfect with that. Explorer is real C**P isn't it.... Quote Link to comment
+rutson Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 This is a website query and as such should be in the website forum Quote Link to comment
+PopUpPirate Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Thanks guys. Downloaded Firefox - and works perfect with that. Explorer is real C**P isn't it.... Glad you've got it working! Give GSAK a try too, the POLYGON search in there is fab (especially if you have Memory Map or even EasyGPS). www.gsak.net Quote Link to comment
