+EKYHunter Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Is it just me or is there something missing from the new caches cache page? In all of the older cache pages there was a little map to the extreme left of the (E 8.5mi from your home coordinates) I know I am new and all but I miss that little map it gave me a visual reference of how far away a cache was from me. I like the new map in the bottom right corner though. Another thing is there plans on putting a distance from (E 8.5mi from your home coordinates) on the List newest from (your state) page? So when that list comes up you can see right away how far away a new cache is from your home without having to click on each cache to see . I am sorry if this has been answered already , if it has I have missed it. Link to comment
+Lux Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 I would like the newest caches sorted by distance from home not placed date too. Or at least an option to do that would be nice. Link to comment

In all of the older cache pages there was a little map to the extreme left of the (E 8.5mi from your home coordinates) SE 47.6mi from your home coordinates Still there for me. Is it possible you weren't logged in (so it didn't know where "home" was)? Link to comment
+EKYHunter Posted June 15, 2005 Author Share Posted June 15, 2005 The little state map with the blue circle around the county of the cache you are looking at? That is still there for you?

+klossner Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 I've never seen this map or these distances. What URL do you use? Link to comment
+beejay&esskay Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 The little state map with the blue circle around the county of the cache you are looking at? That is still there for you? Cache with map I see the little map in the upper left on some caches, but not all. I'm not sure that's the same map you are talking about, since I can't see the blue circle. Link to comment
+Lux Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 I've never seen this map or these distances. What URL do you use? This map at the top of the cache writeup near to the GC number: Link to comment
Jeremy Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 I haven't batch processed the maps in a while. I kicked the box and they started running again. Thanks for the reminder. Link to comment
+sbell111 Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Sometimes, when you pull up a new cache you might find that those little maps show places that are no where near the location of the cache. This usually is self-correcting after a short time. Link to comment
+EKYHunter Posted June 15, 2005 Author Share Posted June 15, 2005 And now to answer my other Question? Another thing is there plans on putting a distance from (E 8.5mi from your home coordinates) on the List newest from (your state) page?

+Markwell Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Someone ought to write an FAQ on the subject... Can't answer your second question. Sounds neat, but there's precious little room on the results page as it is. Link to comment

Setup a pocket query for just caches that are new within the past X days (or even ones that have never been found). Center the search on your home coordinates. Preview the search results and bookmark the URL for the preview. Visit bookmark regularly to check for new caches nearby. Link to comment
