Yeah, I had no luck with mine. There goes the one thing I was really hoping would work.ijeep wrote:You can upload your finds from other sites too. I uploaded an old gc PQ. Now I have 1300 finds on a site with only 800 listings. It does not seem to accept TC.com gpx data though.

Free and open? From their ToS:

The Content may include, but is not limited to, geocaching information, records, geocaching data coordinates, and related geocaching information (collectively, the "Geocaching Data"), as well as User Forum Submissions (defined below).
Sounds like GroundSpeak. Users submit the data but Garmin owns it once you submit it. Way to butcher the opencaching concept...

Re: Garmin bought Opencaching.com
Garmin has finally announced opencaching.com:

What really gets me is that they claim OpenCaching is new. I mean, seriously? That takes balls.

Re: Garmin bought Opencaching.com
Yeah, I tried to post a comment to that yesterday and they've not approved it, yet. Actually, there are not comments posted. I have to think others have submitted them, guess they're just not processing them.

I haven't joined the live podcasts yet, but will try to get to this one (if I make it home from the kids' school play in time). Thanks for the info, Dave.
Re: Garmin bought Opencaching.com
