Missing waypoints for geocaches displayed via GC Live map

Not a Problem

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.

Hi,

after a discussion with the developers' team, we agreed that the GC live map only displays the basic information about geocaches. The waypoints are not considered essential, so they are either downloaded by updating the cache or downloaded as a whole.
