Groundspeak is also working on a long-term solution for website performance, as previously announced. In the meantime, thanks for your patience with this interim band-aid solution.
Interesting. I used Geocaching.com Google Maps quite a bit, but I didn't think very many other people did. What do I know? Forget the smilies, they're actually making me see ignored caches! What's up with that? Unacceptable. OK, not really.
Ok, as long as it is being worked on I have complete confidence in GC. I am no able to pull the BETA map up though. We love geocaching.
