+Team JSAM Posted August 27, 2006 Posted August 27, 2006 Anybody know why when you search for a cache using the Google maps version it wont show your finds?
+jaypit Posted August 27, 2006 Posted August 27, 2006 I'm having the same problem, it's not showing premium member caches either. I posted the same question on another topic. This started when GC.com made some changes to various pages. I love using the google maps because of the own/found feature. I have trouble remembering which caches I've already found. My eyesite is fading also!
+crazygramma Posted August 27, 2006 Posted August 27, 2006 My google maps option also does not flag caches I own or have found, or member only caches. Very frustrating.
+Yellow ants Posted August 27, 2006 Posted August 27, 2006 My google maps option also does not flag caches I own or have found, or member only caches. Very frustrating. Apart from this, I've also lost the ability to bookmark caches from the Google map page. It's probably a security feature ...
+FamilyDNA Posted August 27, 2006 Posted August 27, 2006 I just noticed the problem with the found caches on the map as well. Very frustrating when trying to plan out our Labor Day Weekend (and hopefully 1000th cache) trip.
+jaypit Posted August 27, 2006 Posted August 27, 2006 So, does Groundspeak have anything to say on this topic? I've posted several times about other bugs I've noticed with no replies from Groundspeak. I guess were stuck with using PQ's and throwing the waypoints on mapping software to plan a day of caching until this issue is resolved.

I guess were stuck with using PQ's and throwing the waypoints on mapping software to plan a day of caching until this issue is resolved. If Groundspeak were here, they'd probably note that it's the weekend and they normally monitor the forums a bit more closely during their work week. The thread was just started hours ago. I'm sure that at some point Raine or Jeremy will notice it and say "we're workin' on it."
dtaylor84 Posted August 28, 2006 Posted August 28, 2006 Anybody know why when you search for a cache using the Google maps version it wont show your finds? I'm having a different problem: when clicking on the "View Details" link in Google Earth, an error message is displayed saying that the key being used was registered for a different site. The problem seems to be the URL being generated by the Google Earth .kmz file is wrong, and contains "geocaching.com//seek/..." rather than "geocaching.com/seek/...". Should be easy to fix, but it's quite annoying getting an error on every link.
+rogueleader1977 Posted August 28, 2006 Posted August 28, 2006 I too am not able to see 'my finds' or 'my caches' flags on google maps. Premium member caches are showing up as if I was not a premium member. My guess is that for some reason Google maps is not recognizing that we are logged in.
Skippermark Posted August 28, 2006 Posted August 28, 2006 The Google maps are in Beta and as such, they usually work fine, but could have some issues that pop up along the way. There are multiple threads on this subject, and I'm sure they're aware of it and will fix it as soon as possible.
+Mom the Cook & cashnhubby Posted August 28, 2006 Posted August 28, 2006 I hope they fix it asap. I thought it was just me.
+krazymtbr & QT Posted August 30, 2006 Posted August 30, 2006 I thought it was just me also. I feel better now knowing it's the site having the problem.
+LadeBear68 Posted August 30, 2006 Posted August 30, 2006 Yes, I am having the same problem and I also noticed that on the regular (non google) map the caches placed within the past five days are not showing up.
+meestermole Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 I also noticed that the ability to make the map a bit larger by using the " - " to expand it has dissapeared
+Raine Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 "I worked on it, and fixed it." I till be out in the next site release.. -Raine
+DB2 Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 "I worked on it, and fixed it." I till be out in the next site release.. -Raine Not being the most technologically literate in the bunch, can someone tell me what/when "the next site release" is? I've never heard this expression before. Also, does Raine mean the entire Google maps issue or just the last post about the + and - issue? Thanks, DB
+Raine Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 The +/- issue isn't an issue for me.. it shows up under all browsers I test with.. maybe hold down SHIFT and press F5 and get a complete refresh of the page. The issue I addressed was the finds/PM only caches are now working correctly. -Raine
+DB2 Posted September 1, 2006 Posted September 1, 2006 maybe hold down SHIFT and press F5 and get a complete refresh of the page. The issue I addressed was the finds/PM only caches are now working correctly. -Raine I use Firefox but even broke down and opened IE. Shift+F5 doesn't seem to do anything. I tried deleting files and cookies. Still nothing. When in Google Maps the web pages doesn't recognize I'm logged on as a PM. Any more ideas? DB
+Flue Crew Posted September 1, 2006 Posted September 1, 2006 Having same problems here. The ability to bookmark is the feature that I miss the most.
+Team JSAM Posted September 3, 2006 Author Posted September 3, 2006 It been a few days now and I am still having the same issues, and now while planning caches for a trip I cant view member only caches wont even let me click on them. Any ETA on when this will be fixed????
+9Key Posted September 3, 2006 Posted September 3, 2006 I'm having the same problem. It renders the feature rather useless.
+VeryLost Posted September 3, 2006 Posted September 3, 2006 I'm having the same problem. It renders the feature rather useless. Less useful, perhaps, but certainly by no means "useless".
+Wild Thing 73 Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 It been a few days now and I am still having the same issues, and now while planning caches for a trip I cant view member only caches wont even let me click on them. Any ETA on when this will be fixed???? Me too> lets get our "geocaching.com google maps" back .... Please.
+beejay&esskay Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 "I worked on it, and fixed it." I till be out in the next site release.. -Raine When will this be? How will we know it has happened?
+Team JSAM Posted September 4, 2006 Author Posted September 4, 2006 Still having issues if it matters I am using IE.
+M-T-P Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 Ditto, still having problems. Members only caches won't display, hidden/found/bookmark flags won't display, and can't bookmark from page.
+slightlynorth Posted September 6, 2006 Posted September 6, 2006 Yay! It appears to be fixed this evening! Thank you Raine!
Skippermark Posted September 6, 2006 Posted September 6, 2006 It's working here! Whoo hoo...thanks all who were involved for getting fixed. Nice work!
