Update/fix to mobile Waymarking site


Recommended Posts

Google chrome on Android recently changed and no longer permits use of geolocation to non-https sites. My mobile Waymarking site was still using http due to a case of laziness to get it done right.

 

I had to update my site to use https, specifically for my intercaching.com site, but that broke Waymarking which wasn't using https and I hadn't gotten around to checking it.

 

But all should be good now. Please use the following for mobile Waymarking:

https://geotrailsw.com/wm

 

(spelling Waymarking out works as well, but the forums insist on capitalization so I just use the shorter version of wm)

 

I had a version on another test site of mine (www.chilehead.us) but something broke there preventing you from staying logged in, and I never bothered figuring out why, so please use the link above.

Wow, this app makes Drive-By Waymarking a breeze. B) What a great tool for Waymarking. :)

 

Thanks Chilehead.

 

 

Speaking of, how is that category coming along?

I was unable to find this app in the google Play store? Is it available there? Can you provide the exact name of the app or any other info?

 

Thank you!

I don't believe it's an app...it's a URL in which you can browse with your phone's web browser.

So I just tried to check out the "new Waymarking" website linked above. Denied! Reason given: pornography! Seriously? Obviously this is while at work. The system in use incorrectly blocks all sorts of stuff, and yet you wouldn't believe the crap that gets through. Anyway I'll try again when I get home.

With that said, I liked the original Waymarking mobile site but it was pretty useless for me unless I was sitting in a McDonalds or something for me since I have no data plan. Another reason why I post visits for "those places" - because I actually could while at the location.

Edit to add: even if it does not work for me, just a note of thanks to ChileHead for taking time to make the site/app/whatever. A few of the above comments seemed more like snide remarks than notes of thanks.
