Alan White Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 It seems that the additional waypoints are no longer in the long description of a GPX file when that file is generated by a PQ. The AWs are still in the long description if the GPX file comes from the individual cache page. Is this an intentional change? If so, could I plead for a return to the previous behaviour? The offline information is useless without the additional waypoints Link to comment
+Jaz666 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Ahh, this explains what I encountered out in the field a few days ago. Started a multi which uses the additional waypoints feature, turned on my PDA running cachemate only to find the additional waypoints weren't there! I had assumed I had messed things up in GSAK. Hope it gets sorted soon. Link to comment
+Markwell Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 The additional waypoints also are not being sent in the attached file either. *-wpts.gpx is empty. Link to comment
Alan White Posted July 24, 2006 Author Share Posted July 24, 2006 The additional waypoints also are not being sent in the attached file either. *-wpts.gpx is empty. I'm not seeing that. I've checked a couple of random caches and the AWs are in the *-wpts.gpx. I've also looked at all recent PQs and I have no empty *-wpts.gpx. Sounds like a different problem, though of course not necessarily unrelated. Link to comment
+Hynr Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Same here. The ones I got today seemed to have a nice set of Additional Waypoints. (not sure if they are all there, but there definitely were some). Link to comment
Alan White Posted July 25, 2006 Author Share Posted July 25, 2006 I'd really appreciate a statement from Groundspeak as to whether this is an intentional change or not, so that I know whether to spend time working round it or just wait until it's fixed. At holiday time, offline data with the additional waypoints missing is sometimes rather less than useful Link to comment
+Miragee Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 I just requested a PQ that had not run for more than a week. It arrived promptly and had the additional waypoints included. Link to comment
+Ducky Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 I notice the problem today . Couldn't find the AW in cachemate where they were supposed to be, but after some searching I found them listed with the rest of the WP's which is kind of useless as you don't know which one goes with which geocache. I'd love to get an answer on this fast! Link to comment
