Can't upload drafts

[+ershiliu]

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

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.

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 ?

I have the same problem, thanks for the opt out - tip: this seams to work.

Yes the new drafts page is not working. Thankfully the old page works.

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.

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.

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.

This issue still remains in 2020....

I also have the same issue for the first time.
