Hello After some weeks in dispair I yesterday found out that using google maps to select caches in New Zealand works again. I was so happy and it really was a relief for me because I will be going on a cache holiday in just three days. No I can select some caches usng google Earth. Whatever someone did THANKS A LOT !!!!! /Björn

Hi again Just thought I'd add a comment regarding the problems with google maps. If I enter "Stockholm, sweden" in the startpage of google maps, I will get a working look of all caches in Stockholm. Without any problems, I can zoom in and scroll the map and the caches are updating just as they should. If I instead enter "New Zealand" in the startpage i will end up in an island outside the westcost of the south Island of New Zealand. There are no caches on this Island and I think thats why I can see the map. If i scroll the map eastward until i hit the mainland the scrolling still works. As soon as the scrolling will result in a need to display caches, the fault appears and I get a blank screen. My input to the faultseekers, is that I think it must have something to do with differences on different places of the world map !! Hope this wasn't too obvious and that You understand my point !! Good luck searching for the fault !!!! /Björn

Hi I am also having the same problem. But I detected the problem when I tried to find some caches in New Zealand. I live in Stockholm, sweden and if i use google maps to find caches in Stockholm I dont have this problem. I have been creating a cache database for NZ during some weeks and I did not have these problems in the beginning (beginning of january). I have tried two computers running XP and FIrefox. Same problem with both. So it must be a problem related to only some parts of the world ? Hoping for a solution soon since i am going to NZ in a week and would like to prepare my own database of caches to search for over there !!
