+DIGGEMUP Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 I dashed out today hoping to get some first to finds, as I was in a hurry I didn't bother loading the caches to the Garmin, I had a good phone signal & the only way I could see the caches was by selecting an old cache nearby, open in 'browser' view 'larger map'. New caches were then displayed so I found their coordinates & loaded them as a waypoint on the old caches page. Yes I know I should have run a pocket query & loaded them on my Garmin but surely they should have appeared on the official app. Has anyone else suffered a similar problem? Quote Link to comment
+ecanderson Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Were you logged in as 'you' (a premium member) on your phone when you looked? As I understand it, not only do you not get PM caches as a 'beginner', you only get to see the less difficult ones as well. Quote Link to comment

Browser View may show them all, the App might not, depending on the account. Each login is separate, between Apps and Browsers. Quote Link to comment

Hans Maybe a couple of hours. Did the OP just now become a Premium Member today? Maybe the subscription lapsed. That was not clear in the Post. The OP owns a ton of PMO caches, and seems to have found many over the years. I was thinking it’s a case of two different logins. Or a bug in the App. Edited March 11, 2020 by kunarion Quote Link to comment
+DIGGEMUP Posted March 11, 2020 Author Share Posted March 11, 2020 (edited) I've been a premium member for the last 10 years (renew every May) & the new caches had been published for around 18 hours. I have had this problem once before but I used to use C-geo app & never had the problem with that. Checked my 'phone today (24 hours after I had the problem) & all the caches are now displayed on the official Geocaching app. Edited March 11, 2020 by DIGGEMUP punctuation error in original Quote Link to comment
