Parking waypoint for navigation

I noticed that navigating to a cahe would ask if I want to go to the parking waypoint..great feature.
However it only happened to me once, other caches with P waypoint did not give me that choice ?

Now I can figure out if need at a certain screen ?

Hi again, sorry it took so long, I did use a work around to manually select the parking waypoint.

I found a couple of things

- The parking waypoint is in my actual list for the actual GC.
- Its always a user-defined parking waypoint exported from GSAK that I have created

When I look at the cache in Mapsource or my GPS, the parking waypoints look the same, if they are created by the CO, or if I have done it in GSAK

But the child waypoint have different types, so you say that a parking waypoint will not be recognized by geooh ?

I do export the gxp files with my list to Geooh from GSAK.

Normally I do not downloading from gc.com

Attached is a cache (event) where I added a parking waypoint

No, I said the opposite... a waypoint marked as a parking coordinate by Groundspeak would be recognized as a parking coordinate by Geooh when downloaded by the API.

Okay but will you support this ?

When planning a tour you often needs to add  a place to park becuase the cache location could make the gps take a route to place where you cant park, and then it makes sense to choose another point

Geooh supports Groundspeak parking waypoints already. I am not sure what more you are expecting. You can always select a non-parking coordinate and navigate to it.

A lot of caches dont have parking coordinates so when I add one of my own I would like to geooh to pick that automatically when I ask to navigate. what happens when I have a customed parking is that its not selected by the app, so I need to go back to the list of waypoints ad select that ........ it just af matter of usability :-)
