+ershiliu Posted June 25, 2017 Posted June 25, 2017 Hi. Tried first time to upload drafts from my garmin 450. Each time I try upload "geocache_visits.txt" I get error message "... is not in the correct format." Anybody to help? thx Quote
+StefandD Posted June 25, 2017 Posted June 25, 2017 Maybe the file is corrupt? What do you see when you open it? Or maybe the file is too big? Try to delete all entries except the ones you want to upload, or copy the entries you want to upload to a new text file. When you're done, you can delete (back-up) the geocache_visits.txt file. It will be recreated as soon as you log another cache. Quote
+smashcfr Posted June 25, 2017 Posted June 25, 2017 Hi, It seems that there is an issue with the new "upload drafts". When I use it with my Etrex 30 I have the same error message. But if I click on the "Opt out" link at the top right, I can go on the old page, and there it works. Something to correct on the new "upload draft" functionality ? Quote
+Evian2012 Posted June 25, 2017 Posted June 25, 2017 I have the same problem, thanks for the opt out - tip: this seams to work. Quote
+crackerjackie Posted June 25, 2017 Posted June 25, 2017 Yes the new drafts page is not working. Thankfully the old page works. Quote
+MartyBartfast Posted June 25, 2017 Posted June 25, 2017 (edited) Same here, a file from an Etrex30 which I successfully uploaded a week ago won't upload through the new drafts page, but will through the old drafts page, same for a drafts file generated today. I get "geocache_visits-2017-06-25.txt" is not in the correct format. Edited June 25, 2017 by MartyBartfast Quote
+NanCycle Posted June 25, 2017 Posted June 25, 2017 (edited) Thanks for asking - and answering - the question that I just came up with too. For now, I just printed out the geocache_visits.txt file, because it's not very big. Edited June 25, 2017 by NanCycle Quote
+baer2006 Posted June 26, 2017 Posted June 26, 2017 The upload on the new page fails, if you have at least one line in the file, which has a log type of "Unattempted" (can be generated by Garmin devices) and/or a waypoint ID not beginning with "GC". See comments in this thread. Quote
+Lotty Posted April 29, 2023 Posted April 29, 2023 I also have the same issue for the first time. Quote
