Travel Bug won't show mileage!

[+Morty's Twisted World]

Anyone have a clue how to get my travel bug page to display its mileage? All my other travel bugs are showing their mileage just fine. But one of them, which is moving all over, isn't showing any mileage and because of that, its not displaying the link to show its movement visually on the US map.

 

Any ideas?

They must have a minimum of 30 miles before they show miles travelled.

Tommy TowTruck only has 26 miles on it and the mileage is showing. I think you need 30 miles for a map to show.

 

Miles might not show because people are grabbing it before the person before logs it into a cache. That would cause the mileage not to show. That's happened to my Rusty Spike travel bug. It looks like he was picked up, dropped off at another cache, then picked up again before he got logged into the cache. So right now he has no credit for any mileage, even though he's probably been in a cache.

If you are talking about the Lowly Worm, it looks like it has never been logged into a cache since its original placement in the "Cedarbend by SavagePenguin & his father" cache. Unfortunately, people often physically place a T-bug in a cache, but never bother to “drop it off” when they log the cache. The next person just grabs the bug, and since it was never officially placed in the cache, no miles get added.

 

This has happened way too many times to my T-Bugs. If it happens when the T-Bug makes a big move, sometimes I will grab the T-Bug, place it in the cache myself and then ask the person who picked it up to go back on the website and retrieve it.
