I'm having the same problem. I'm from Manitoba like ertyu. Although I can't seem to log in from any page. I tried with Google Chrome under Ubuntu 10 and Firefox under Windows 7. Neither worked, either at the front page or the login/default... page

I just stumbled on this site. They claim to be creating a database of final coordinates for mystery/multi caches from geocaching.com. It doesn't seem very high-profile, or well-managed, but I thought others might want to be aware of it. I know I wouldn't be happy if people started posting the solutions to my puzzle caches -- it kind of defeats the purpose of having a puzzle cache in the first place. Also, I know some people with multis that have delicate/expensive/other components at the final sometimes depend on the fact that it's a multi to protect it from muggles. This database would undermine that as well. I'm guessing that there's not much that can be done about it, but I'm curious what other people's thoughts are about it?

I think you just need to wait -- sometimes the cache icons take a while to show up.

There was a button at the bottom of the "pop-out" on the left of the map screen, but it seems to have disappeared now while Groundspeak works out the kinks, so you might have to wait to try it out.

Since the site update, whenever I open the map via the "Hide and Seek a cache" menu option, it defaults to Seattle (I assume Groundspeak HQ), instead of my home location. Logging out and in again didn't fix anything, and I verified that my home coordinates are still set correctly. Clicking the link to my home location from my profile page opens the map in the correct place, but the default "Hide and Seek" map opens in Seattle.

Here's my dumb act, as logged here for this cache named "The Empress".

As another option for searching without a GPSr, you might want to check out Letterboxing (www.letterboxing.org). It uses clues and landmarks to help you find the letterbox, instead of GPS coordinates.
