    Whats the problem with the Geocaching map....

    in General geocaching topics

    Posted

    Was looking for some thread about looking at the caches on a map. Found this one that might be related to my issue.

    Have a major issue and have tried Firefox and Chrome and have the exact same error results. have not had this issue ever before and this is what happens..


    Example

    Select and area and move the mouse curser left, right, top and bottom and will zoom to a different area and drill down -3 on the map. It's impossible to look a waypoints on a map with the attitude of the 3rd party mapping software that is used on geocaching.com.


    any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Bogus "finds"

    I too have received bogus logs from he/she. Made a visit to 3 random claimed finds and no signature was present. Filled out the contact form at groudspeak and received a canned response. Replied back and only heard was crickets.

     

    In the process of deleting 161 logs

    broken images hosted by Groundspeak

    So all the images from many years ago are just wiped out?

    I haven't looked, but are the first photos from the beginnings just gone? Many of the first hiders posted images on your site. Could not grandfather them in before moving to some 3rd party cloud account. It's a real shame that this approach was taken and leaves your database open for attack from a bad actors moving to a 3rd/4th party. Groundspeak spent money to throw away history.

     

    I wonder if my personal information is safe? Amazon /AWS is not a great solution.

     

    This resonates on my initial payment to Groundspeak. When I joined, their was a fire in the data center and was left with a website down for a week or so. Giving my credentials to your site and forwarding to an company that has an XML feed to every major/minor web present company on the planet. This does not sit well with me.

     

    Just want to play the the game and have fun and not have to worry of some data breach. It's inevitable using these scripts.

     

    Have updated my 120 day outage rebuttal on Google Earth also.

    You can use project-gc.com for both of those.

    I searched around and found the answer is no. Per the project-gc owner, it's not going to happen. IF I am incorrect, please point me in the correct direction to use unfounded hides in a delorme square. Approaching 120 days of google earth being down

    I have seen broken images hosted on the website and a few EarthCaches have been disabled by an Admin... Some images do not show on the cache pages that are hosted by Groundspeak... traditional caches.

    Exampled provided

    https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GCGZRV_heenan-lake

     

    Who is https://www.nginx.com/ ? and display is just a marketing tool that that has failed. Is this just another '3rd party' sucking up geolocations and not providing Groundspeak images?

    Update on the ticket is worthwhile to all the members

     

    It's been 90days since first reported. I would like to do some delorm squares and counties. Have tried troubleshooting several different ways and no avail. Groundspeak map will not show county lines or the squares. Please don't pawn me to a 3rd party site when Groundspeak is suppose the be the top of geocaching sites $30 for the past 11 years for geodata.

     

    please resolve

    reported bug
    I've reported this issue to the engineers and documented it in our issue tracking software. I can't say when or even if they will get to it, as it has pretty low usage (although I'm sure that it's more than 200 people).

    <when or ever????>

    It's been more that 15 days and would like this (maybe a paid feature) to be resolved.

    Please BUMP-UP to high priority at this point.

     

    I would like to finish some delorm grids

    This issue might be to the class action lawsuit stealing money from the users that had paid for the smartphone app

    Needed to find the rule for logging a cache and Groundspeak.com is reverted to
    https://www.geocaching.com/careers

    No rules apply any longer.. Just log a find from a smartphone.
    Just deleted a few finds from an eathcache as the email was never sent.

    I quit!

    Geocaching sucks now.. Had 90 months of FTF's that ended in January.

    Groundspeak has aimed to a mobile app and has lost support for handheld garmin support.

     

    Geocaching killed benchmarks, waymarks and WIGO with the last update. Why even play the game?

     

    Should I create a new ghost account to find everything again.

    missing benchmarks/waymarks

    New default.aspx is missing:

    1. No benchmarks

    2. No Waymarks

    3. No Advanced search

    4. No Geocache Google Earth Viewer

    5. Bug: Is listed under 'Community' that is forward to forums

     

    a. View Your Friends

    b. View Your Stat Bar

     

    After logging into forum, found benchmark and waymark is missing from the hierarchy. Is Wherigo (with no Groundspeak support) going to be defunct too? Hard to believe that the all the benchmarks were archived by the government.

     

    Groundspeak/Geocaching has also eliminated traveling caches.

     

    Groundspeak/Geocaching was founded on finding locations, containers using Government owned satellite and are 24 in all. Has the focus gone to advertising revenue and not the millions of $ spent by actual players.

     

    New default.aspx

     

    1. Recent logs need to (unfriend) everyone

    2. half missing recently viewed entry does not show in full.

    a. Black heart. What is that? It shows on caches that I have never found or looked for. just looked at the cache page that is now archived.

    b. Under the cache name is <description> have a RPM gauge, a number, picture of a hill, ruler, and small. This might be container size as indicated by 4 '----' What ever the for hyphens mean

     

    I have bought your trinkets, spent $30 a year for the past 8 years. You killed my blackberry browser ($600)and had to buy another device. paid $10 for an app that was working perfectly.

     

    Where does it end?
