+Shilo Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 What happened to the mileage that always accompanied a 'placed' log? It always showed the distance moved from the last geocache. The total mileage is still there but is it accurate? Link to comment
+Corey Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 You're right, I didn't notice. That's strange. Link to comment
+Shilo Posted September 25, 2008 Author Share Posted September 25, 2008 You're right, I didn't notice. That's strange. It was there yesterday. Did GS do a update today? Link to comment
+softball29 Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 I posted this in the TB forum the other day and I'm having the same problem. The mileage on my personal TB is not updating at all, so I think whatever is wrong it not just that you can't see the mileage from stop to stop, but overall, too. Link to comment
+MaxB on the River Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 We found the same problem with no mileage being posted yesterday and then today noticed that no mileage for any logs old or new is being displayed. Based on the layout display for each log, the field to display the miles seems to be missing completely. This is occurring with both IE 6 and IE 7. Sure hope it gets fixed. Link to comment

Based on the layout display for each log, the field to display the miles seems to be missing completely. This is occurring with both IE 6 and IE 7. Sure hope it gets fixed. It's also occurring in Firefox. I hope it gets fixed soon also, as I keep a spreadsheet of the miles my geocoins have traveled. Link to comment
+Zarya. Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 This occurs in firefox 2 and 3 too. A geopatch I updated today (dipping into caches visited in the past week) has zero mileage on it, the links to the map do not show up, the mileage statements for each log are not there. I would upgrade my membership if that is necessary to see them - seems to be a glitch though. Link to comment
+vnm747 Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 No mileage in Safari as well. Link to comment
+Corey Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Well, it's definitely not a browser-specific bug. Looks like a line of code got deleted somewhere. Lackeys? Link to comment

+sdkonkle Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 There seems to be two differrent issues here. -Total mileage and mileage between caches are missing. and -Mileage missing between caches only. I'm only missing the mileage between caches, but if I click on view map beside total mileage then that page shows the mileage between caches. Link to comment

Yes, I upgraded and found your statement to be true. I hoped that little bit of extra support for them from my part can encourage them to fix this problem... Link to comment
+zpyder Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 I just got a personal coin and the mileage is missing on that. I didn't know whether it was to do with the fact it's gone in and out of caches but never left the hands of me, the owner? It's reassuring (in a way) to know that I'm not alone! Link to comment
+Agate Hunters Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 I'm having the same issue. I started a new bug earlier this month that has been moved twice and no mileage or map has displayed. Only getting the log entries. Link to comment
TokyoBlossom Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 I'm also having this issue Link to comment
AZcachemeister Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Sorry. It must be my fault. I finally posted too many logs on my coin, and that has messed up the entire system. My Geocoin 's mileage has not been updated in many weeks. The mileage for each log has not been updated during the same period. Link to comment

My Geocoin 's mileage has not been updated in many weeks. The mileage for each log has not been updated during the same period. This calls for a "I broke Geocaching.com" geocoin. Link to comment
+Zarya. Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 (edited) As a web developer by hobby, I decided to go slightly more in-depth instead of babbling about non-functioning features, and maybe try to be more helpful. Mileage on /tracks/details.aspx will not update. For items with zero mileage, this means that mileage number, and map link, will not display at all. This "stuff not appearing" beside the "Tracking History" header is not the problem as the conditional dependence on mileage to not be zero is working as it should. What seems to be broken is the mileage recalculation, leaving my TB stuck at zero. Assuming that the database is completely intact from favourable results attempting to directly use the map generator without a link, this suggests that either the recalculation module, or its trigger (or some other dependency) is glitched. (Map generator (/track/map_gm.aspx) is still working, even if link does not show up. Noted that it uses the simple TB ID as a get/requestquerystring value instead of a guid string. I discovered my TB ID by placing it in a cache, downloading the cache GPX and manually scanning for travelbug lists, which are right at the bottom. Using this number in the url, I generated the right map which shows all current movements and mileage between logs, including those added a couple days ago and today, demonstrating that the database and whatever mileage and bearing parser it uses is working.) To the devs, I may have been stating the obvious all along, but I hope this little bit of sleuthing helps, as opposed to not at all if I was keeping to myself. Edited September 28, 2008 by Zarya.

+craftyslh Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 I too am having the same problem. I've just received an email saying my new TB has been logged, first drop since I set it free, showing where it is, showing in the cache it's been dropped in, but no mileage travelled or map displayed. Definitely a system issue, I'm using Firefox v 3.0.2 Link to comment
stiggycj Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Add yet another person having the same problem. My first bug has been move and it is still showing 0 miles Anyone know if this is being looked into? That was quite the nice feature and it would be nice if it were fixed. Link to comment
+ORaMo Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 the total mileage is not being updated my TB's got the same problem Link to comment
+PersonsMD Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 I am in the same boat. I do not have the "View Map" feature on my TB's and the total mileage is reading "0" miles for the TB's and coins that have moved. A word from "Groundspeak" please? Link to comment
+trainlove Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 I just got a personal coin and the mileage is missing on that. I didn't know whether it was to do with the fact it's gone in and out of caches but never left the hands of me, the owner? I think that a bug/coin has to be 'Placed' in a cache for the mileage to even get started, and for the possibility of a map to be born. I am in the same boat. I do not have the "View Map" feature on my TB's and the total mileage is reading "0" miles for the TB's and coins that have moved. A word from "Groundspeak" please? Isn't the silence defening on this? There has been several posts asking this question in the last week or two. Link to comment

+MeAndJu Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Same with me... Mine is new and the milage and the map are missing... Link to comment
+Corey Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Some of these problems look like they could be solved by clicking "Recalculate distance", possibly? Link to comment
+zpyder Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 The problem being doing so...does nothing! Link to comment
+craftyslh Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Some of these problems look like they could be solved by clicking "Recalculate distance", possibly? Done that, still no difference. Tried all the options and there is definitely a bug. Link to comment
Changed Daily Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 looks like veryone is well aware of the issue - new to trackables and non of ours have any miles logged or map avaliable - hope this is sorted soon Link to comment

+Allanon Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 When I click the Map link, a map is displayed. Also in that map are the movements with mileage. Link to comment
+zpyder Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 When I click the Map link, a map is displayed. Also in that map are the movements with mileage. I think part of the problem is new bugs and coins don't have the map link, being stuck at 0 or something, so the system doesn't register it as having travelled. Interestingly though, the option to view in google earth does exist, and that does show the cache locations etc! Link to comment
OpinioNate Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Hi all, we're looking at this bug and will hopefully have a solution soon. Thank you for all the sleuthing and troubleshooting added to this thread! I'm very sorry for the trouble in the meantime. Link to comment

The 'solution' hasn't worked in my case...but I didn't expect it to, so I'm not disappointed. I'll just enjoy some vicarious satisfaction for those who DID get relief! Did you happen to click "Recalculate" on the trackable that's not showing mileage? -Raine Link to comment
