Star Village RouteGadget
-
Topic created by DSevon on Tue Nov 29, 2011 at 5:36 pmA number of people are experiencing problems with RouteGadget for Star Village and getting a "map not found" error message. I'm not sure what is causing this error, but the map is there. I've found that it seems to be an intermittent problem as I can load the Star Village event several times in a row without any problems and then get the error. Once I get the error, I need to close and restart the browser before I can get the map to load. This may or may not work for others who are experiencing the problem.
For this event, I tried making the image resolution a bit finer which resulted in a larger file size. Not sure if this is the issue, but it is something that I did differently. At this point, we've had 9 runners enter routes so deleting the event to reload with a smaller map file size isn't a good choice.

Reply by furlong47 on Tue Nov 29, 2011 at 6:21 pmI've gotten that message before, both on DVOA's RouteGadget and on others. Usually just going back and trying the link again seems to resolve it. Seems like just an occasional minor glitch.

Reply by WindWalker on Tue Nov 29, 2011 at 10:34 pmI tried last night and twice tonight, keeps saying "map not found".
Usually when it says that if I try later or refresh it usually work, no luck with that so far.

Reply by DaveUrban on Wed Nov 30, 2011 at 0:39 amI get a map displayed without errors - too bad it is a street map of the area.

Reply by DaveUrban on Wed Nov 30, 2011 at 0:51 amI've been told to chill out but never before to zoom out! Anyhow - tried with Safari and got "Map not found" error with the following string : http://www.dvoa.org/cgi/gadget/reitti.cgi?act=map&id=178&kieli=
I'll zoom & chill out. -
Reply by edscott on Wed Nov 30, 2011 at 10:36 amI've had intermittent problems in the past but this one is consistant. I've tried Firefox and Safari. I've restarted and emptied the cache multiple times. I've tried to open the map at least 40 times since Sunday so I'd say the file does have a problem.

Reply by Sandy on Wed Nov 30, 2011 at 10:47 amI just tried and was able to get the map. The browser (Firefox) acted funny for a bit but eventually made it to the map.

Reply by Vadim on Wed Nov 30, 2011 at 11:04 amMost likely the issue relates to the extreme size of file, just a wild guess. I was able to put my GPS track yesterday night.

Reply by edscott on Wed Nov 30, 2011 at 11:12 amJust downloaded a new Java file and installed it. Didn't help. Both my browsers are listed as the newest versions. What else can I do? I'll add that it doesn't bog down and quit trying to load the file. I get an immediate message that it can not be found.

Reply by markwalsh on Wed Nov 30, 2011 at 5:07 pmNo problem getting the map to come up on older work notebook.......map is large and need to click in the body of the map and drag to get to the course.
Looks like it was a fun course sorry I didn't make it out there.
I'm going to study tonight when I get home.

Reply by WindWalker on Wed Nov 30, 2011 at 8:14 pmMap still not found on my puter, but it loads fine on my wifes. To technical for me. Oh well a 42 minute leg is pretty shameful anyhow.

Reply by furlong47 on Sun Dec 11, 2011 at 8:42 pmFunny enough, I am NOW having problems. It has been opening just fine for me until today. I just fixed a problem I was having with my Garmin drivers and only today was able to try uploading my route. The map still loads fine until I go to import the GPS tracks. Then I get the tracks okay but the "map not found" comes up as the background. Tried two browsers (IE 8 and Chrome) same result.
I realize it's probably not getting fixed but maybe this info will be helpful somehow if it happens again.
