+NanCycle Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Last weekend I was at a Virtual cache where the questions to be answered were listed as: 1. Question one 2. Question two 3. Question three but on the Montana, part of question one and two were displayed on the same line, overwritten and illegible. Other questions were the same. Then I went to another Virtual and the same thing occurred. When I looked up the caches on my phone, they were displayed correctly. I deleted the PQ several days ago, and redownloaded it today and it is again not displayed correctly. Any one know if this is a fixable problem with the Montana, a glitch with the PQ, or what?

+Red90 Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 It is just bad HTML and the Garmin HTML code is not as advanced as on a phone, which can work around the bad code. The only solution I know of is to use one of the GSAK macros that clean up a lot of the bad code. Quote Link to comment
+NanCycle Posted October 8, 2016 Author Share Posted October 8, 2016 Thanks for the explanation. I think my solution will continue to be to use my phone. Quote Link to comment
+Mineral2 Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 I tend to use my phone for virtuals and earth caches anyway. There are often pictures to be referenced and long paragraphs are easier to read. I'll still mark my find on the GPS and log it found on the website later with field notes. Quote Link to comment
+on4bam Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 I tend to use my phone for virtuals and earth caches anyway. There are often pictures to be referenced and long paragraphs are easier to read. Images are no problem on recent GPSs. I have all images on my Or 600 for all caches loaded. GSAK + macros will do that without any problem. Quote Link to comment
+HHL Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 (edited) [...] Any one know if this is a fixable problem with the Montana, a glitch with the PQ, or what? How should we know without a reference? You'd forgot to provide the GCCode of at least one cache in question. Hans Edited October 8, 2016 by HHL Quote Link to comment
+HHL Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 (edited) As Red90 stated spot on: The cache in question uses a pretty obscure html tag setting. Removing those html tags will show this: Frohes Jagen Hans NB: Using GSAK or other third party stuff may correct the weird html. Edited October 8, 2016 by HHL Quote Link to comment
ohgood Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Thanks for the explanation. I think my solution will continue to be to use my phone. have you tried downloading the cache with your phone with some nameless application everyone loves, exporting and then passing it to the stand alone? just curious what the result would be.

Nope. that sounds too complicated for me. I'm more the "if all else fails print out the cache page" type. Quote Link to comment
