Yes, really impressive.

 

However, the Google Mapping Features (Geocaching Network KML) is no longer displaying the right icons. When you view Caches it displays all types of caches (traditional, letter, multi, ...) with the same standard pin.

 

Is this a bug or a feature?

 

See Screenshot attached.
