Vantage Point not communicating with Geocaching.com

Post by pprass » 21 June 18 2:54 pm

Does anyone here use the Magellan mapping program - Vantage Point?

If so would you know if there is a connection problem between Vantage Point and Geocaching.com?

When I click on the Geocaching icon (in the Partners section of the tool bar) and then click on "Pocket Queries", or "Create Filter" or "Geocaching Live" or "My Account" - I get this message:

"An error occurred during connecting to the Geocaching.com server"

I can click on the first item - "Publish logs from my GPS.." and that works fine.

I am using Windows 7 and my friend (whom I am trying to help with this issue) is using Windows 8.

Thanks for any advice

Peter

I've got VP on Win 7 & get the same errors. My 710's usb connection broke awhile back so it's retired, sadly as Garmin can't hold a candle to it.

Looks like it is a Magellan connection issue then. No one maintains that program anymore so it is unlikely to be fixed.
