xxxxxx - cannot search/download cache info since site upgrade.

 

Since the site upgrade I have been unable to use any of the on-line components which link to the geocaching.com website i.e. to download cache logs, search for new caches

 

I think the only way around this for the moment is to create a pocket query and then import the GPX file - which at least gets new caches into the application.

 

The reason I paid for a premium membership was to use this tool.

Technically though, use of such software was breaking the Terms & Conditions you signed up too. Can it still import the GPX/pocket query files?

 

I'd comment on whether Geoscout is having the same issues, but my PDA has decided its had enough and won't work at all. But I suspect the direct import/searching for new caches/update details will be broken. But GPX import should still work.

GPX import is fine - didn't realise I was breaking any T&C - which part exactly? Seems a bit harsh as I cant use the iPhone App sold by Groundspeak on my HTC.

 

I think it is this part:

My problem is that I didn't write the Application so how would I have any idea whether the developer has obtained permission? I'll drop the developer an email and ask - thanks.

Sorry have a Family login I use - which is premium, and a free one which I use (JMcR) for all my work lunchtime finds.

I think it's the use of it which requires permission, not the development of it. Hence each user would have to acquire permission.
