I've experienced the same problem with panning the map where it zips around too far, and it gets hung with caches updating. I'm running IE 6.0.2900 with Windows XP. It has never worked well, this is not something that cropped up in the last few days.

The one MAJOR COMPLAINT I have about the new map interface is the lack of a correlation between the icon on the map, and the name of the cache. I often print out the google map and use this to figure out an efficient way to move from cache to cache. If you used "find nearest" all day you would be driving in circles. Is there another way to approach this problem that someone can share? I live in a very cache dense area (yippee) so planning ahead is important to save time and ga$oline. Second....it seems that it takes longer to bring up the cache info when I click on a cache icon on the google map of 10/13 than it did before. Maybe just quirks in the system right now, but unacceptable if the wait time stays the way it is right now. Like being able to turn on/off the caches I've found. Other improvements I have not noticed. -goodblackdogs

New site feedback. Like the ability to hide caches I've found Not sure what is supposed to happen if I check the box next to the cache type legend. If it is supposed to show/hide that type of cache, it doesn't work. I'm using IE 6.0.2900.2180 I don't see myself turning on/off the type of items displayed very often. I would prefer "preferences" that you can set for what is viewed (finds, hides, types of caches). If I want to view another type of cache, I can go change preferences. "show cache listing" as a popup takes up alot of room on top of the map. I prefer it the way it was with the listing on the right side. Also would be good to remove "finds" from this list if I checked the box not to view found caches. Correlation between cache listing and name. I know the caches by their names, less so by the location. Living in a cache rich area, it's pretty painful to have to mouse over each cache on the map to figure out which one it is. It is easy to miss one, or lose your place when trying to discover the name tied to the icon. It would be awesome to have the cache listings in a column on the side, and as you mouse over the names in that column, the cache icon on the map would highlight. It is nice not having the big numbers obscuring the view of the map details. Mousing over the icon on the map to see the cache name is s-l-o-w. Panning the view is also slow.

Recently I dropped off a TB and it was grabbed from my inventory before I had a chance to log it into the cache where I dropped it. I dropped it at 5pm and it was grabbed by the time I got on the computer at 11pm the same day. Is there a guideline for how long you should wait before grabbing a trackable item? If nothing else, it seems like the "grabber" should do a virtual drop into the cache that they retrieved the item from so that the mileage is correct. I've also been on the "other end" where I picked up a TB that was not logged into the cache. I emailed the user who had the item in their inventory and also waited a week. After no response, I grabbed the item. Thoughts? Goodblackdogs
