+twistyipper Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 I have been away from active caching since our covis crisis and recently got out to get about 10 new hides. I opened up geocaching site and from my profile I selected upload drafts and then picked geocache visits from my garmin file . I got a message this was invalid file --This method always loaded my finds ..any ideas where or what is wrong--thanks twisty Quote Link to comment
+ecanderson Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Are you certain that you picked geocache_visits.txt and did not accidentally pick the geocache_logs.xml file by mistake? 1 Quote Link to comment
+ras_oscar Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 I have oregon 700 and had similar problems. I finally figured out that if there are any characters unrecognized the entire log becomes corrupted. Now I have turned of the wifi commutativity and just enter a few words to remind me of the field experience so I can craft a proper log in GSA back home. Quote Link to comment
+ecanderson Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 One thing I found years ago that you do NOT want to include in your log are any quote " characters. They will completely throw off the parsing of the logs. Quote Link to comment
