Hi,
First time looking at the new map today and have a few comments.
Available map options are very limited and the 'Geocaching' map has no distinguishing features whatsoever for my local area. i.e. no roads, footpaths, rivers, place names or anything! The Google map options work OK, but I often choose different options on the old map. Esri imagery is better in some places than google satellite view. Open cycle map often has better trail coverage than other map options. Please tell us that at least some of the other map options will become available?!
Is it possible for you to amend the behaviour so that the search automatically updates after you drag the map or zoom out? It's going to get tiring (mentally!) to hit the 'Search this area' button every time you adjust the view. Perhaps you need a 'browsing the map' option as well as a 'search results' mode. I often just want to browse, starting centred at my home location without a specific search in mind.
Possibly a more minor niggle, but I preferred the old behaviour where solved puzzle caches reverted to their unsolved location after being found. Geo-art lovers must be telling you this? Is there an option I can toggle somewhere?
Anyway, keep at it! I do hope that this won't be made the default map too soon. Learn from the debacle of the 'new' app launch, when a lot of required features were still missing.
Thanks.
