Communicator Plugin Problems

[+doug_11]

Hi all,

 

when i try to transfer GPX-Files via the "Send to GPS" button and the installed Communicator Plugin to my Oregon 200 it doesn`t work. There is always the following message:

 

500 - Internal server error.

There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed.

 

It has worked earlier, i already have transferred many files before.

But now it doesn`t work anymore. I tried it from different computers, i have installed the Communicator again, no success.

 

Anybody any idea what to do?

I had a (similar?) problem last night trying to transfer 500 WP's to my 60C from GSAK

They didn't load onto the gps.

Is it related???

I have been having the same error occur....hope it gets fixed soon!!! Glad its not my gps or computers.

geocaching.com was down for awhile yesterday while they updated the server software. Perhaps this problem you guys are having is a result of that.

 

When I experience problems with any Groundspeak services I usually check here: http://twitter.com/GoGeocaching. It's the official twitter page for Groundspeak and the boyos behind the scenes keep it up to date.

I Sent a TWEET to the gogeocaching Twitter page. According to the Twitter posts---they are back up. No mention of any problems.

I am still getting that error 500 message. Have been since yesterday. I have been using this without problems prior to yesterday and am not a premium member. I thought about becoming one but now I am not sure.

OK!!!

Lost some sleep over this one.

Did not get sever error until I deleted gpx file on my 400t for the first time. Waited for the wifes map360 to check it. Then went into panic thinking I dumped a program Ahhh

thanks doug for posting

I spent an hour on the phone with Garmin this morning. He did the take over control of my computer thing and checked out everything on my Garmin and my computer with reference to geocaching. He said everything checked out ok, so the problem must be with geocaching.com. He said he'd escalate the problem to his higherups so they could contact geocaching and let them know there's a problem. They have a direct connect of some sort. He was able to download a cache to the unit by going to the cache page, saving it to my desktop as a .loc file, then using my mapsource and downloading it to the unit. It was a pain and a lot of extra steps, but doable if necessary. I downloaded some caches as waypoints last night by entering coordinates manually, but also a pain. Hope they get it up and running soon.

I tried reinstalling Communicator etc before I read all this of course. same problem here. Communicator reads the device just fine. I am also a premimum member having the same issues so I dont think its an issue of subscription level. I pretty sure at this point its geocaching.com

I just spoke with Customer Service at Groundspeak and they indicated its a problem on their end. They said due to the sight impact it is a top priority for the developers on their site. She couldnt give an idea of time to fix but indicated they are on it. Hopefully that helps a few folks out.

Glad to see that is not my new gps...and thanks to all who have looked into this problem hopefully it gets fixed soon so i dont have to enter them in manually because that is a pain on the colorado 400t

...I'm so so bored with GSAK's "nag screens" that I may go down another route.

Everyone wants a buck/quid these days. And I'm finding it very tedious, if not insulting, in today's economic climate.

On the flip side, a lot of folks want something for free regardless of the amount of work that went into developing an awesome tool.

Is everyone using the latest Communicator Plug-in? I used it the other day and got the same error message so I checked and sure enough it wasn't the latest Plug-in. Downloaded the latest plug-in and it worked just fine after that.

[+Edisto Patto]

I just checked and it seems to be working again--did not do anything other than reattach my gps

[+wkcantab]

I continued to get the Error message then went to the Garmin site and downloaded plug-in so then when I saved to gps the message shows that it was saved, but in fact it was not saved. Is this because the format is incorrect or is this a geocaching site issue?

 

Thanks!
