GPSCity site weirdness

When I go to their website this is what I get. It's pretty hard to enter a code when there is no code! And if I click the get new code button or try to access the site again, I just get a blank page....

Just tried from another machine on my LAN and it's the same too. So I guess it has something to do with my IP address?
I was going to post a link to one of their products in a thread on another site, but will not do this anymore, will link to a different vendor with a website that actually works. Big thumbs down to gpscity. :O)
[edit] FWIW, I get the same thing if I try to access gpscity.ca
Just to give them the benefit of the doubt, I upgraded my router fimware (which I've been putting off for awhile) and rebooted. Still the same thing.

I'm still able to go directly to the site using just gpscity.com. I'm using the latest version of Chrome but can also get there using Firefox and Internet Explorer.
There are actually two issues here. The obvious one is that it thinks I'm a robot for some unknown reason. My guess is that their software does this to a range of IP addresses. Have been working on a new website myself and there are similar options for blocking robots.
But the real problem is that their software is mis-configured and does not show the "captcha". This has nothing to do with me, it's their screw-up.
Disconnected the computer from the phone, turned wifi back on and the same problem came back. No surprise there....
