+shunra Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 GC maps show no red check marks for caches I have found since January 21st... How frequently are these supposed to be updated nowadays? Link to comment
+shunra Posted March 7, 2006 Author Share Posted March 7, 2006 Am I the only one who has this problem? The last day I have red checkmarks for is February 21st. Couldn't this be updated daily? Jeremy at some point assured us that it would be... Link to comment
+MrCOgeo Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Am I the only one who has this problem?... I've noticed your concern as well (the cache maps seem a little sluggish in updating as well),though personally I wouldn't call it a problem. From my understanding sometimes the "map server" just needs a good talking to and then it gets back in line like a good server, for awhile anyway. Link to comment
+shunra Posted March 9, 2006 Author Share Posted March 9, 2006 3 days later - red checkmarks are still updated until February 21st only. This is more than 2 weeks now! Link to comment
+IntotheWoods Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Shunra, The slow map updates have been an issue almost since the day those maps came into use. For cachers like me who use them quite frequently it has become an annoyance. The only saving grace is that if you choose "identify" and click on a map the information will be current, and caches that appeared invisible will come up in the list. But it is more than a little frustrating to find caches and then not see them checked off on the map weeks later. I wonder why a problem this long-standing continues to go unfixed--is a new map server coming? ITW Link to comment

On just about every new cache that comes up now the maps don't even show up on the cache page on my puter. Any reason for this that you know of? Link to comment

New caches and found cache information is not updated reliably because some function fails. Either hope a frog sees this thread, or e-mail the support group, and it will be fixed for a little while. And then stop again... Link to comment
+shunra Posted March 30, 2006 Author Share Posted March 30, 2006 Update: no red checkmarks have been added since March 19th. Link to comment
Jeremy Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Weird. I re-ran it for you. It did run this week but I'll run it again for everyone else. Link to comment

Jeremy Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Hmm.. That's not good. We did some upgrades to our servers overnight which may have broken this for you. I'll run it again. Link to comment
Jeremy Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 I'm rebooting the map server. After it comes back online I'll try and fix this. Link to comment
+shunra Posted April 1, 2006 Author Share Posted April 1, 2006 I'm rebooting the map server. After it comes back online I'll try and fix this. Thanks - it works now, that is, whenever the server works :-) Thanks! Link to comment
