Previously you could choose the app Waze to help you to navigate to a step of an ALC (at least on iPhone). In some update of the ALC app did this possibility disappear and now you only can select Google Maps. Is this intentional or just a lapse? Could it be a misconfiguration by me? Someone has any info on this? Regards yxza

Anyone got an idea if this is possible on iPhone too?

Hello, previously I could use the app Waze when I wanted to navigate to the different steps of an ALC. Since the latest update the only choice is Google Maps. I prefer the guidance provided by Waze. Is there any possibilty to regain Waze as a navigational aid and if so how? Is this a intentional change by GS and if that is the case why? Oh and I forgot - using an iPhone.

size is approx 22K, and pixels are 450x256 strange - just tried another image 17K, 440x660. that worked. apperently something is botched up with some images. question - where and what?

Hello, I'm creating a new cache and run into some problems. The cache is almost ready, I just wanted to add a background picture to it. I drag and drop the image or browse for it and when I click "Save & Preview" I get: Server error in '/' application. Runtime Error Description: An exception occurred while processing your request. Additionally, another exception occurred while executing the custom error page for the first exception. The request has been terminated. OK, so I backout all the way into the nonedited cachedescription and try to edit once more. This time I only change one character and click "Save & Preview", no problem. I do the same procedure again but add the picture, same error. Tried to log out and back in, same problem. Restart browser, same problem. Deleted cookies from geocaching.com, same problem. Any idea anyone? yxza

All of a sudden I can't load the LeaderBoard in Firefox. All text is loaded but when the information under "Week of 2021-12-06" is supposed to show, there is nothing but a rotating green circle. It works with Microsoft Edge and Chrome. I tried to start Firefox in failsafe mode but no change. I'm running a desktop with MS Win 10 + all patches and Firefox 95.0 regards Hans

well. it depends on how keen you are on playing battleship. ok, some are, but let them. some like to cheet in this game. for me, in an area already full of all kinds of caches it would make it a lot easier to find an empty spot for a new cache.

When I create a new cache and enter the coordinates I either get an OK or that it collides with an existing one. Of course the cache circles show collisions only with published coordinates. Or with unknown caches already solved. It would be very nice if I also was told that "your cache interferes with an existing". No need for more information, like circles, just the message of conflict. it would not reveal information about unknowns/unsolved but ease the placement of new ones.

Agree with previous writers. The questions at each indivudual step of an alc could be seen in gsak. ok. but how many signs on an electric cabinet can you read in google streetview e.g.? If some questions can be sofa-logged by a minority of cachers, so let it be. There are always cheaters one way or the other. Please reconsider the decision!

yup , agree. was also flabbergasted when my log all of sudden online was uploaded to gc.com as Submitted via Garmin Live. not acceptable. want is as a draft

Today, 03/28, there apparently was a problem accessing geocaching.com during a few hours causing havoc for people trying to log found caches and more important, people out in the field caching had to abort their missions. No post anywhere except finally on twitter. I just wonder as a non twitter user (and not wanting twitter) why there was nothing posted in any of the geocaching forums or on facebook. Groundspeak shape up.

OK, that fixed the problem. Never too late to learn something apparently. Thanks a lot. A related question: I can't unmark all Wonders (if I do the OK button is inactive). How do I find a cache in the phone that have no Wonders at all? Won't it get filtered away?

next pic is from gc map

looks great. but that's not what my app showed look at the "holes" between my finds

yup, try GC8ZJ8Z, shown on gc map but not in app or other caches around it

nope!

I was going out for a caching trip today and had prepared myself by studying the map at geocaching.com. Arriving at the selected area the map in the official app looked very strange. Out of 15 caches that were supposed to be in the area about 6 of them were not showing. I looked them up using the browser and of course they were there on the map. When clicking on one of the "nonexisting" caches I then got the option to "Open in app". Doing so I was presented with a map of the correct area, BUT no cache visible! I then noted down the GC code of the missing caches and after searching in the officiell app I was able to navigate to them. After arriving home I looked on the map again in the app and although I have all of the caches in the Draft section the same missing ones are not shown at all as being in Draft. Just empty spots on the map. Strange! Anyone experienced the same?

goes withput saying

as in a previous answer - the listing coordinates have a meaning in that sense that if it is a geoart it won't show properly with solved coordinates. that among other things is why I want a choice.

Hello, I have a few issues I hope can be implemented. At least on the webbased map I would like a radiobutton that makes it possible to select if mystery caches should be displayed at the posted coordinates or at the corrected ones. Would make it a bit easier to find room for new caches e.g. In the official app (at least) you can add waypoints defining where GZ or other interesting steps are for a multi- or a mysterycache. I would like those waypoints to show up on the webbased description of the cache too. And the other way around, make it possible to add waypoints in the webbased cache description and they should show up in the app as well. regards yxza

great! just popped up in Sweden. thanks a lot!

I guess there will be future updates to the new great app. missing the option "hide my already completed"

Something must be a misconfigured. The new version can not be found in Appstore (not at least in Sweden). It has to be downlowded on the iPhone using the link above. But thanks for the new version!

Assume I have the following trivial way of hiding the coordinates on a cache page: <font color="white"><marquee width="100" height="20">N60 08.XXX E18 01.XXX</marquee></font> At geocaching.com the marquee is not shown unless you highlight it. But both in the iPhone and Android apps the coordinates are clearly shown in the cache description. Not a big deal but slightly irritating.

The outlook of the new page is OK when i use Edge, but I experience problems when I click "Play/Hide a geocache" using Windows 10 and Firefox 83.0. All I get is a blank page. Pointing at "Hide a geocache" shows the URL as https://www.geocaching.com/play/hide but I get redirected to https://www.geocaching.com/play/hideacache and the blank page. Very annoying. I've tried to clean all cached data and cookies but to no avail. Any ideas anyone?
