Here we go again. I've been getting a blank screen with only the words (The service is unavailable).

If you're talking about the maze containers, they can be fragile. I bought a couple replacements and good thing I did. Someone tried to brute force the puzzle and broke the maze guide.

This happened a couple years ago on a very hot 95+ summer day on a rural country road. As we were going down the dirt road we spotted a elderly gentleman standing on the road. He didn't look well so we turned around to check on him. We asked him if he was okay but he didn't respond very well. We then asked where his car was parked and he replied down the road. We got him in the van to find his car. I asked him where he lived and he replied, on a hill. It was obvious he had dementia. He said his car was white. We couldn't find a white car but noticed someone nearby mowing grass. We pulled in the farm to see if they know him. Nope, no idea who he his. I decided to get the man to show me his identification. He had a identification card and his name was Lloyd and we now had his address. We put the address in the gps and it was a 1 1/2 miles away. We get to Lloyd's house and knocked on the door. After a while Lloyd's wife answers the door. We tell her about finding Lloyd and she gets real pissed. She yells, why did you bring him back. You should have left him there. He does this all the time. She was doing some canning and didn't want to be interrupted. She did calm down and we had a short chat. The white car we were searching for only existed in Lloyd's mind. A few days later my caching partner followed up by notifying the local social services to look into Lloyd's welfare. You never know what you might find geocaching.

Just noticed https://coord.info/GC5ZW2G was awarded Geocache of the week. It looks like an interesting historical location with 10189 logged and with only 4% favorite rating. What are the qualifications for geocache of the week?

The fact is many people use and are happy with the browser in question. Let's support them. It's not the browser as it worked perfectly fine before the new maps. As you state it's the technology. It's bad technology if it's not compatible with existing browsers. Use the old map which works with all browsers. Most people I've spoken with prefer the old map. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

My mapping doesn't show I only see a white screen. I do see the spinning cube on the web link so my browser is fine.

When trying to view the map from cache page a blank white screen only appears. This has been happening since they introduced the new map. Please don't blame a second party like a browser. The map worked before Groundspeak added the new map so it was caused by something in the map design program. This is a common problem when computer programmers update existing programs and don't see the negative effects they may cause. If it ain't broke don't fix it. Please fix the problem so a map appears instead of a white screen.

Good thing you don't cache in Minnesota. You would have a very short caching season.

I did one of the new adventure lab caches with two other people. We each had a phone and found all stages. But it was not easy. 1. The phone instructions were sometimes confusing. 2. You have no choice but to use phone navigation. No coordinates for any stages were given so our gps couldn't be used. Most stage locations were off by 100+ ft. Fortunately we knew the area and landmarks. At the final the person with the android walk the apposite direction. We used geosense to find the final. 3. No way to write a found it log and tell of your adventure. Edit to add; 4, No attributes. 5. No difficulty or terrain rating.

Again with the computer problems. Bear in mind the website problems have been continuing for days. There has been plenty of time to address the issues.

Here we go AGAIN. Groundspeak should worry less about the latest gimmicks and more about keeping the website running up to speed.

Now what's going on with the web site? I keep getting booted to the log in screen even after already being logged in. Most of the time I can't log in. Then when I do get in it eventually returns me to log in. Very frustrating.

As I've heard it they sometimes use the divide and conquer method to achieve large numbers.

Anyone know for sure the durability of these containers ? Heat, cold and impact for example. Most what I've read state sound like guesses.

The Canadian found it logs are gone. I don't think the CO deleted as it appears they're no longer active.

Yes, this is what I'm referring too.

Do Canadians have different logging rules? https://coord.info/GC6P2EF

It's been months now and they continue to ignore it. Will they ever fix it or update us ?

Anyone know if there's an end of year souvenir this year?

I brought it up in the past but they continue to ignore it.

No, not going between satellite and map. Zooming in and out of google maps. After 9/11 down for maintenance period it continues to happen. If would be nice if Groundspeak fixes what's broken before pissing around with new things.

Once again, There's nothing to see if there gone. Google maps setting.

No, they come and go when zooming in and out.

There's nothing to see if there gone.

The cache dots "vanish" disappear completely. They don't change to something else.
