Geosphere and GCA caches not loading hints

Post by g_ordo » 20 December 12 6:55 am

Hi guys, not sure which way to tackle this, ie if it is a site issue, or an app issue.
I just noticed that geosphere doesn't load hints from the GCA site...
I load the zipped gpx files directly from the website, by state, or the bingo zip from the caching games site.

Is this better dealt with here or with geosphere support??

Cheers Gordo

The GPX is standard. I'd ask at Geosphere first.
Stupid question. Does the cache actually have hints?

I can confirm that zipped gpx files loaded into Locus (on Android) gets the hints just fine.

There are hints on the few I noticed.
They were bingo racers, and I was having trouble finding a couple, and from the app there is a link to open the website for the cache, I was going to log a DNf and noticed the hint was there, so subsequently found it.

It might be a fault with the app. Geosphere is working fine for me with hints attached, might be yours is corrupted

Geosphere was showing me hints fine on Tuesday afternoon for bingo caches, the last time I used it.
