Search Near City Failure [Bug 75]

Unread post by chrispt »

It will at least pull a list of cities up but doesn't seem to work like it should.

Here is what I've tried:
1. Access Geocaching from main menu
2. Choose middle tab and pull up menu and Search Near a City
3. Choose the city (I did mine via spell search).
4. Drops back to main menu

I added a Geocaching shortcut to the quick bar (forgot what it was called)
1. Choose middle tab
2. Search Near
3. Choose Ferrum, VA (where I am from)
4. GPS locks up
5. Some other sites seem to work better, but it's still not in great shape.

Now it's locking up for me searching more than one city.

Unable to duplicate on our GPSMAP 66sr v5.70.

Maybe some others will chime in and let us know what behavior they observe.

Which maps do you have enabled? This is where the city data is pulled from.

Perhaps a soft reset is in order, then perhaps a hard reset?

I may go ahead and do a hard reset anyway.

Looks like I have the following enabled:
- Worldwide DEM Map
- TopoActive NA, US 2022.20
- Garmin Public Land Map v2022.10
- TopoActive NA, Middle America 2022.20

Perhaps I am just not doing it right? What are the steps everyone uses to download geocaches near a City?

Do exactly as you listed, selecting any desired city from the list, then select Use.

Mine definitely locks up when I do it.
