Size of bookmark didn't seem to matter.  I saw a similar question from several years ago, but it was never answered.

What bookmark do you try to import? Is it public?
by Jakuje (Moderator) (117k points)
It was a private list.  Thought that may be the answer, so changed the list to public and tried again.  Same result.

I just tried to import the following bookmark list and it worked just fine: https://www.geocaching.com/plan/lists/BM16WNR so I assume this might be an issue with the particular bookmark list (it might take some time before PGC will notice the change of the status). Do you have a link to the bookmark you tried to import?

I just tried to import your bookmark list and all went fine.

Sooo....just tried again and still getting the error message.  Any other suggestions!

Try the usual. Delete your cookies then restart your browser. Deleting cookies can fix some pretty weird faults.

So I finally got it to work.  The bookmark list must be SHAREABLE, not just public.

Good to hear you figured the issue out. Can you add it as a separate answer so it is clear what needs to be done for this to correctly work?
by Jakuje (Moderator) (117k points)
FYI, I updated https://project-gc.com/w/Virtual_GPS to reflect this requirement.

I am getting this error message. How do you make a bookmark list public AND shareable. I can only select one or the other.
by cjhoffy (170 points)
It's a legacy text. Both Public and (or) Shareable should work nowadays.

I figured it out. I needed to have the name of the list created first.
