I have been trying to get on Geoff's website for several days and it is not responding. I have tried several browsers with and without firewalls but still nothing. Is it my problem or has something changed?
I am trying to build another car tracker that Geoff rpoduced. It is a legacy PIC32 project pre-MMB on the website - but a fabulous project that I have been using for years without any problem and a great way to keep track on journeys.

chuckallisonusa - thanks for the suggestion but that is not the solution.

I have discovered that there is a problem with my ISP (Gigaclear fibre) just with Geoff's site. I have connected to it successfully using my snail ISP and it works.
The problem must be something to do with the Gigaclear DNS possibly just for one site as all other sites work OK. I was very surprised as I been using Geoff's site for years without problems. I will try to contact Gigaclear but whether they will bother to investigate I am not sure.

FYI, I've had Geoff's Tracker installed since since mid 2015. It got removed recently because I managed to put a small dent in the front LHS of my vehicle & wrote it off.

It got neglected a bit in its latter life due to other GPS devices being used. I did check every now & then to see if the LEDs were lit/flashing. Last recorded track Mar, 20, 2026.

Bit of fun going through some of the tracks now.

No room (nor the inclination) to install it in my other car.

Yes it is a great device. It chip inside even took 12V briefly back in it's early days but that is another storey.

Thanks Geoff.

Brian

I contacted my ISP explaining the problem and after a few days I can now access Geoff's website. I can't imagine why this was the only one I couldn't access but I don't know how the internet works

The HDMI/USB reference project download link is not working for me. Earlier it was ok.

I just tested the link and it works fine.

The problem might be caused by my changing the website to https:// instead of http://. This was because Google (and others) raise warnings if a website does not use https. At this time the only solution that I know of is for you to use a different browser.
