@FloridaGal The event Schnitzeljagd is a good chance to learn something about caches around Giessen. You are welcome! @Jeremy The interactive maps in Germany are a problem! Google Earth is a very nice software but you must install it! You can´t run it in an internet-cafe or in the office and the software needs many bandwidth. It's very interesting to see all caches in the world in one map, but the most geocachers needs only the caches in a range 100 miles around their home coordinates. Many users in Germany goes online with a slow modem or ISDN connection (<64kBit/s). It would be great if we had a simple regional (interactive) map. A few people would be spend their time for this project but without a database-interface or a working spider they haven´t a chance to create a working map. The gc.com-maps for Germany aren´t helpfully. For a good overview, you need a scale over 30 miles. But then you can´t identify anything!

Elias, thanks for your statement but a short message on the main-site with the reason would be very helpfully for the affected users! Now I can see a new message but there was some days only a very simple message and no one knew the reason why you blocked our access to gc.com! I sent a mail to contact@Groundspeak.com and I received only a mail that I have used downloadtools. Now I wait more than one day for your answer to my reply.

Hi@all I don´t have any access to www.geocaching.com since two days. I see only an error message in every webbrowser: "Access to this server is forbidden from your client". I don´t use any spiders or other "bad" software. Are there any other users with this problem? Who can help me? I´ve already sent a mail to contact@Groundspeak.com but I received no answer until now. If I use a computer at work (other computer and other internet access), I have full access to www.geocaching.com. The forum works without any problems. Thanks Geo Chief
