"send to GPS" not always working w/ my PN-40

When I want to send just a couple of caches to my PN-40 and don't want to set up a PQ, I am ocasionally not able to send the cache to my GPSr. I have the Delorme plug-in installed and it only happens to about one out of every 15 I attempt to send to the unit. When I click the "send to GPS" button, the new window pops up for the transfer notification but just sits there and none on the green check marks pop up. Any ideas? I have thought about trying to reinstall the plug-in but thought I would ask here first. As I said, I normally don't have any problems and there is just the occasional cache that won't transfer. THX

There are certain caches that are causing these problems for everyone. We're working on a fix for this. I think it has to do with HTML in the cache description.

 

The cache in question was GC14H3N. However, any cached after that would not work.

 

I tried going to an earlier restore point on my computer and found that allowed me to then download caches into my PN-40. It seems that a Microsoft update casued at least part of the issue.

Was there any resolve on this issue?? I have been having the same problem on certain caches. I would try one and nothing happened, I would pick another cache at random and send to GPS with perfect results.

 

We are still troubleshooting this issue.

 

Bump...

 

I've got a PN-40 coming in the mail and I wonder whether I will be running into this. Is it still an issue? Was it related to ANY HTML in the description or just specific HTML? I actually went looking for issues like this because I have seen GSAK macros to clean up/remove HTML for the Magellan Triton series while I was playing with one for a few days and I was curious whether something like this was going to be necessary for the PN-40.

Here we are at the end of 2009 and we still have many caches that will not load :) using "Send to GPS".

Here are some of the ones (not all) that I have come across this past month:

GC1MBZO "Alone on an Island"

GC1W7NB "Are you sick III???"

GC224CV "Be My Neighbor 01-Eldorado West"

GC1PWV6 "Between the Trails"

GCWPCY "Cache-22"

GCMOJW "Can You See Me Now"

GC1RVDJ " Cows' Cache"

GCZ7OR "Frisco's Common Dirt Road"

GC1XBPG "Stonebrook Dead End"

GC1KCTB "ZIP - Tammie "

I have this problem too, although I'm sure that's not a surprise.

I just want to add that I have found this a problem I have been having also. Same trouble as already mentioned. I run Windows xp and have the Delorme Pn40 SE. I'll be interested to see the solution.
