Missing waypoints for geocaches displayed via GC Live map

Hi.

I can't work out how to display additional waypoints when geocaching...any clues?


Geocaches typically have additional waypoints, especially when they are puzzle caches or multicaches. For example, today when I clicked on a cache from the map view (this was a multicache that had 12 additional waypoints - see attachment), the data panel at the bottom of the screen shows "Waypoints 0/12" - I read this as there are 12 waypoints and none are currently visible. When I clicked on "Waypoints 0/12" I was expecting to be presented with a list of 12 waypoints that I could choose to make visible or not. Instead, when I click on "Waypoints 0/12" it displays a page that says there are no waypoints and presents an "add" button (see attachment).


I can't find any other option to make visible one or all of the additional waypoints in a geocache file. I ended up using LocusMap Classic again in today's caching session - this allowed me to display additional waypoints. As I found each stage I turned off that particular waypoint so the map wasn't cluttered and I could clearly see which waypoints I had left to do. This is what I'm trying to achieve in LM4.


Any help greatly appreciated :-)

Hi Gary,

could you please send the GC code of the cache that you can't load waypoints of?

Hi Michal.

No problem...the code is GC86KRV.

HTH :-)

I can't simulate any problem - the cache contains waypoints in the list:

83344c85e59c42d73f71944fdf19efd17546f5368a56ab5e142780805c61a118 b42e902d8ab71b6e41b2872b7a287240d405a9f4b0d3fb844b340e5c6dadcb90

Try updating the cache:

Updating the cache worked, same as your screenshot.


I tried another multicache with 2 additional waypoints and it shows the original issue (that there are no waypoints). I then selected update cache and the additional waypoints worked again.


So when I select a geocache with multiple waypoints, the waypoints are only listed if I select update cache?


Just to be clear, the geocaches on my map are all live, they are not downloaded.


I have just downloaded some and tested them - the additional waypoints works fine. So it seams my snag is only when working with live caches. With live map enabled, selecting a geocache with multiple waypoints will not let me select to show additional waypoints, unless I first select Update Cache.

Thanks for the additional info. Now we've been able to replicate the problem. The devs have been notified.
