After looking into it further, I've noticed that the previously listed
waypoints correspond to the following caches:
GC0255 ROMERO TRAIL CACHE By WJMYLES
GC06AD ALBORGS HERMETIC HOARDE By ALBORG
GC072B PINE TRAILHEAD (MULTI-CACHE) By TEAM CBX2
GC129A MIND YOUR MINE By TEAM SNAPTEK
GC2ED8 LONE PINE CACHE By TEAM DAAS
GC367A AGENT POLECAT By TEAM SPIKE
GC3B87 OBSERVATORY CACHE By TEAM A&M
GC462B COYOTE HILLS CACHE By 97TJ
GC5E41 LUCKY CHARMS By OMNITERRANAUT
GC6382 MIKKIS LAGOON By WHOOVEN
GCA35C AZ KEYCHAIN CACHE By GEORAPTOR
GCB3C9 CONCHO FALLS By TEAM GEOTREK
GCBA07 COYOTE HILLS TOO !!! By 97TJ
GCE917 HERES JOHNNY By AZMARK
GCA292 CANYON LOOP CACHE By WMNMBA
These caches don't have the descriptions when the team-specific Mapsource
waypoint file is downloaded. They also don't have the correct information
in the 'Status' column of the team-specific comma separated values file.
I'm guessing those two things are related some how.
Also, the following caches are appearing as 'Not Found' instead of 'Found':
GC3FFB YELLOW JEEP FEVER by CBX2
Interesting note about the Yellow Jeep Fever cache...it looks like
Geocaching.com has "lost" a bunch of logs from that cache. The cache was
hidden on 3/6/02 and the first find listed is for sometime in 2003, varying
with each page refresh. The archived copy on AZGeocaching.com has a first
find date of 1/26/03. I know for a fact that there were finds between
3/6/02 and 9/6/03...Wyle E himself (themselves?) was one of the first
finders! My find still shows up on 'My Cache Page' but I can't get to it
via the cache page itself.
Anyway...anyone else having the same/similar things happen in their waypoint
files or doesn't anyone use them anymore?

Subject: Problems with Mapsource datafile
Anyone else notice issues with their team specific version of 'New Garmin -
Mapsource w/Types' waypoint download from azgeocaching?
There are several waypoints that don't have descriptions. They are: GC0255
GC06AD GC072B GC129A GC2ED8 GC367A GC3B87 GC3F86 GC462B GC5E41 GC6382 GCA292
GCA35C GCB3C9 GCBA07 GCE917
Found, but not indicated as such in waypoint file:
Yellow Jeep Fever
There may be others found but not indicated, but I haven't done an analysys
of all 500+ caches I've found...
The cache name (description) appears fine in the 'Text - Comma Delimited'
waypoint file, but the found/not found issue still exists there as well.
Anyone else notice this or is it just me?
Thanks,
