I'm flying a bit blind here.

Can you please let me know what the routes number are? The only one I can see you own is Melbourne to Adelaide (route 654). If you have any others then they aren't under your name or simply didn't save.

If you can provide me a copy of the route you are trying to upload I can run a test and see what it doesn't seem to be loading properly. caughtatwork@gmail.com

Also with the website that makes the kml files you might want to add that you now require a Google API key to do this with Google Maps

I'm not sure what you're referring to. Could you please provide me a link so I can check out what is being done. Is that in the wiki? On a GCA webpage? Sorry, but you'll need to help me out with some more information here.

Hey,

I’m trying to make new routes but it is not adding them when I upload the kpl files

See links for details on what I mean by api key with the kpl files

Yeah, that's a google limitation.

What you can do is go to Google My Maps:

https://www.google.com/maps/d/
Create a new map.

Place a marker pin for start and end of route

Create a route between the markers by selecting the route icon and then clicking on each pin for start and finish...

then go to dots to the right of your map name and select 'Export to KML/KMZ' then in the next step make sure you have 'export as kml only' checked.
then save the route ONLY (dont select the pins or any other info).

upload that kml in the route and it works.

Can you please send me the KML files you are trying to load. I can then troubleshoot the issue.

This Fixed the issue,

Can an admin please update the following wiki page to use this instead, as this looks like the new turnaround that works: http://wiki.geocaching.com.au/wiki/My_Route

Thanks,

The wiki was updated yesterday morning.

If this doesn't cover the process you followed, please let me know the steps and I'll get it updated.

Unable to log a find

When GA27397 Moveable Challenge Cache was published we checked to see if we qualified and we did. We were given a code word. Today we found the cache and tried to log our find using the code word we had been given. The log was unsuccessful giving an invalid code word message. We checked to make sure we had not included spaces at the start and end of the code but were still unable to log our find.
I can supply the code word if it is needed.

[whitewebbs]

What if you check if you qualify again and get a current code. I have saved mine in private tags so will be interested to see if they will work in the future when I find the ones on the mainland.

[2y'stassies]

Same code same result.

[2y'stassies]

As an addition to my UNABLE TO LOG A FIND on GA27397
this is the confirmation of qualification message
Congratulations
2y'stassies has met the challenge for Moveable Challenge Cache Use this codeword to log your find: code word not included here but it appears with the message.
When I click on the log link in this message it takes me to the web page for No Gnome To Go To GA2947 NOT Moveable Challenge Cache GA27397

Is there a problem with this link? or the code word or both?

Any help would be appreciated

[whitewebbs]

I thought I would do a test as I qualify and was going to delete log after the test but it said invalid codeword even though it said I qualified.

[2y'stassies]

Thanks for trying that whitewebbs. Glad to know the problem is not just us

[caughtatwork]

Thanks for your report. This was a inconsistent error of my making which has now been fixed.

Basically the incorrect waypoint (GAnnnn) number was being passed along through the process. Depending on whether the waypoint was subsequently used in the challenge, it would return the incorrect codeword. I have made a change that now uses the original cache listing waypoint correctly and the problem shouldn't occur again.

Unfortunately due to the way we tested these changes, we never spotted that bug and on the one we tested to prove the codeword was working, this problem didn't arise.

My apologies for any confusion and hope that it all works for you now.

[2y'stassies]

Thanks very much caughtatwork. Your prompt action is appreciated. All is working as it should from our end and the cache find has been successfully logged.

Hi
Can the faeries please check why this series of GeoArt by Trimbletas has not been included in the GeoArt challenge? GA27404
https://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga20242 is the first cache of the GeoArt. I realise this series is now archived but the moveable challenge included archived caches.
Thanks
