Narayan,

Thanks for your feedback. I guess you're right. Probably not that interesting and worth Waymarking...

New Version 1.2 BiggerMap.user.js (Version 1.2) Installation: See above Update: Just click the link and confirm update / installation Changes: Markers in map are colored as detailed below New settings popup to allow for enabling/disabling colorizing of markers as well as map-size-saving settings Fixed position of bubble-popups when you click on a marker Colors of markers: Purple: created by you Green: visited by you Grey: unpublished (pendeing review / declined) Original colors / white: all others Limitations: The colored markers do only work on search-result-pages, not on a single waymark listing, gallery pages, etc. Also, obviously you have to be logged in, to allow for determination which ones are created/visited by you. As always, I'm happy to get comments, change requests, or bug reports here or directly by mail. Have fun!

I just stumbled upon the project of the non-profit-organization "Join the Pipe" from the Netherlands. They sell water dispensers to cities, villages, companies, etc. in Europe and other "rich" countries. From the profit they build water-infrastructure in poor countries like in Africa or Asia. Website of the project: http://join-the-pipe.org/en In the Netherlands they seem to be quite famous and successful, having placed 450 of those water dispensers. Outside of the Netherlands they are not that recorgnized with only a few dispensers placed. But, according to their website, there are yet a few ones in Belgium, UK, Germany, Canada, and Australia. And of course the "free" ones in Africa, Bangladesh, Nicaragua, ... They caught my attention just recently because in the last two weeks two of these dispensers have been placed in my home town - Bonn, Germany. They seem to be one of the first in Germany. My idea is to create a category to post the locations of these water dispensers worldwide. What do you think? Is it too commercial? Is it just a hype and dead by tommorow? Or is it just starting and becoming a worldwide phenomenon?

Because of the Email-problems in the last days on Waymarking.com, on suggestion of Tante.Hossi, I made another simple Greasemonkey script to allow for simple, alternative contact options to other waymarkers via geocaching.com. Therefore, on all profile pages (except your own one!) the following additional links are inserted: Email form on geocaching.com Message center on geocaching.com Profile of the user on geocaching.com Currently, emails on Waymarking.com appear to be fixed and working fine. Nevertheless, maybe someone sees the additional links as useful, e.g. to prefer the new messaging center instead of the old email form. In addition, you're prepared, when the email-system of Waymarking.com breaks next time... Link to script: ExtendProfilePages.user.js (Version 1.0) Installation on Firefox: Install Greasemonkey Addon Click / open the script link and confirm script installation Maybe you'll have to enable the script in about:addons > User scripts Installation on Chrome: Install Tampermonkey extension from Google web store Click / open the script link A Tampermonkey-page should open with information about the script. Hit the Install-button on that page.

New Version 1.1 BiggerMap.user.js (Version 1.1) Installation: See above Update: Just click the link and confirm update / installation Changes: Save map size in cookie while navigating Waymarking.com. Will be reset when closing the browser. Additional button on upper right of map to pin the map to the window. This setting will be saved in the cookie also. Restyled map buttons with FontAwesome.

Since I got so much positive feedback for the SearchFromHere-Button-Fix, I played around with Greasemonkey scripts some more; and the result was a script, that enables larger maps on search-result-pages and waymark-details-pages: BiggerMap.user.js (Version 1.0) It's far from being finished, but I wanna share it with you to get your feedback. Installation on Firefox: Install Greasemonkey Addon Click / open the script link and confirm script installation Maybe you'll have to enable the script in about:addons > User scripts Installation on Chrome: Install Tampermonkey extension from Google web store Click / open the script link A Tampermonkey-page should open with information about the script. Hit the Install-button on that page. Features / Usage: On all pages with a small map on the upper right (search results, waymark details), there should be a link "Enlarge" above the map. If you click the "Enlarge" link, the map resizes to full width. Additionally, you get a resizer at the bottom of the map to adjust the height of the map. When you click a marker on the enlarged map, waymark description and link open in a popup inside the map instead of in the sidebar below the map. The "X"-button on the upper right of the map restores the original small map. The SearchFromHere-Button-Fix is included in this script also, no need to install that additionally. TODOs: At the moment, the "Search from Here" button on the lower left of the map does exactly the same as the old button below the map, i.e. it opens a new page with search results from the current map position. Instead, it should update the markers on the map and not open a new page. Maybe, there is not even needed a button for this and it can be done automatically on map move. Display more search results / markers in the map. Restyle the old bubble-markers, so that waymark details can be included inside the marker instead of additionial popups. Maybe, give the option to position the map fixed at the top of the window, so you can scroll the search results and see the map at the same time. Maybe, highlight the corresponding search result when clicking on a marker somehow. Store the map size in a cookie, so that you don't have to resize the map anew on every page. Known Bugs: The waymark-detail-popups should be displayed centered above the corresponding bubble-marker when clicking on the marker. However, sometimes they are positioned a little too far on the left. Currently not touch-device-friendly, especially the resizer. I'm looking forward to get any feedback, improvement suggestions or bug reports.

I'm sorry about that. I experienced the same. Since the sript was installable and initially enabled, I thought it worked fine with Chrome. But for some reason Chrome obviously disables user scripts other than from the official web store at launch without any possibility to reenable them. The only workaround I found was using the Tampermonkey extension: (1) Install Tampermonkey extension from Google web store: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/search/tampermonkey?hl=de (2) Click / open the script link: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/a82c2458fae5231368a3b074df2f13cc/raw/130ab0d6be49aec6ae5c79087d3369bc268a2f63/SearchFromHereFix.user.js (3) A Tampermonkey-page should open with information about the script. Hit the Install-button on that page. If you have already installed the script before via the chrome:extensions-page, you should now see the script twice when you check the Tampermonkey overview page: the new one enabled and the old one disbled and unenableable. You can remove the old one. Sorry for the inconvenience / misinformation regarding Chrome, but I'm not that familiar with Chrome and I just started developing own user scripts.

No it's not the same, because "Nearest waymarks" references the position of the waymark currently beeing displayed, whereas "Search from here" uses the current position of the map as center point. So, you can move the map around and then search from this position. This is much more convenient than copying coordinates from Google Maps etc.

Apparently, this won't get fixed by Groundspeak. So, I packed the fixed code in a Greasemonkey script. If anyone is interested, the script is here: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/a82c2458fae5231368a3b074df2f13cc/raw/130ab0d6be49aec6ae5c79087d3369bc268a2f63/SearchFromHereFix.user.js Installation on Firefox: (1) Install Greasemonkey Addon: https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/greasemonkey/ (2) Click script link and confirm script installation (3) Maybe you'll have to enable the script in about:addons > User scripts Installation on Chrome: (1) Download the script (2) Open chrome://extensions (3) Drag & Drop downloaded script on page (2) and confirm No warranty given, but tested successfully in latest FF & Chrome on search-results-page and waymark-details-page.

The "search from here" button could be fixed really easily: In the Javascript block on the page jQuery("#uxSearchFromHere").click(function (e) { e.preventDefault(); if (map && searchUrl) { var latLng = map.getCenter(); var newSearchUrl = new URI(searchUrl); newSearchUrl .removeSearch('sg') .setSearch('lat', latLng.lat()) .setSearch('lon', latLng.lng()); window.document.location.href = newSearchUrl.toString(); } return false; }); ".lat()" and ".lng()" have to be replaced by ".lat" and ".lng" (without brackets). Obviously, MapQuest's map.getCenter() provides these values as attributes, not as functions. I tested it in Firefox, and it works like a charme! I don't know if Groundspeak support is reading this, but it would be just 10 minutes of work for your developers, but a huge improvement of the website!
