Hi all, a couple of days ago I forwarded a couple of suggestions to Groundspeak, for consideration of a couple of things I think would be handy on the GC.com site. In their reply, Groundspeak asked that the ideas be floated in the forum as the changes will ultimately affect all cachers.
Here is what I forwarded.
On individual cache pages, there is a field to highlight the number of people watching a cache. It would be nice if you could see who they were by selecting a "see" option. I am predominantly interested in who are watching my caches but it would be handy for events also.
A feature I think would be really handy is to bring up the geocaching google map from the home page. The map could default to your home location if you have submitted the coords, or to the home country if not. I use the map a lot for planning and currently find it a long path to get to a map.
What I also thought would be handy is in my profile where it lists my last 30 days activity, perhaps a map option could be included on the right hand side of the cache you have found so you can go immediately to the area map for that cache, rather than through the cache page.
They are my suggested improvements. Please feel free to comment so the Groundspeak team get an idea on whether the ideas are worth implementing.
Cheers
