+The Mighty Shark Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 The map on GUK.COM shows locations of caches that I have supposedly visited even though I have not. The interactive map is correct but the map on the stats page is not. Has anyone else had the same problem I wonder? I thought that it would correct itself when the map would be next updated but the error remains. Quote Link to comment
+The Bolas Heathens Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Have you found any YOSM caches Mark as we've found this causes blips on the map where we've never been due to the cache co-ordinates changing every so often to another trig point? Quote Link to comment
+The Mighty Shark Posted October 29, 2006 Author Share Posted October 29, 2006 Hi John I hate to show myself up here but in answer to your question. Whats a YOSM cache? Quote Link to comment
+The Bolas Heathens Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 The Ye Olde Survey Monument - http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...32-853759c07cc3 - it's basically a set of 200+ trig points you can log as virtuals. Hi John I hate to show myself up here but in answer to your question. Whats a YOSM cache? Quote Link to comment
+The Mighty Shark Posted October 29, 2006 Author Share Posted October 29, 2006 Ok thanks. then the answer to your question is no I have not found any. Quote Link to comment
+The Bolas Heathens Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Thought you may have logged the one just near Blue Blood on Cannock Chase. I'm not sure of the answer then as we've always put it down to the 3 YOSM's we've found but am now wondering if there is something else afoot which is causing it as it seems to be doing it for you too. Ok thanks. then the answer to your question is no I have not found any. Quote Link to comment
+Pengy&Tigger Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 That particular map shows all caches you have made a log entry on, whether you have actually found it or not. It may be a note you have put on a cache page or a 'will attend' on an event or something similar. T Quote Link to comment

T Thanks for the reply but I know that, that is not the answer either as it is in an area of the country that I have not posted any logs/notes relating to any caches Quote Link to comment
+Pengy&Tigger Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 (edited) Just out of interest, which area is it? I'll bet on Lincolnshire, in which case it will be this log that's causing the problem. T Edited October 29, 2006 by Pengy&Tigger Quote Link to comment
+Teasel Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 The interactive map is correct but the map on the stats page is not. Try it now... (The map was picking up DNF logs by mistake - I think it's now corrected). Cheers, Ian Quote Link to comment
+Haggis Hunter Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 I brought this subject up a year ago on the G:UK forum, but it appeared to get overlooked. I'm pleased that it is now sorted and both maps now present the same information. Quote Link to comment
+The Bolas Heathens Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 That's looking better and has removed some odd ones for us. We still have a red dot showing in the Essex area approx just above Southend which is odd as we've never cached there, but apart from that it's looking good Try it now...

+The Bolas Heathens Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 I've just looked and you're right. I had in mind that the YOSM cache was currently somewhere else, for some reason. I think that is the YOSM cache, as I have the same one on mine. Quote Link to comment
+The Mighty Shark Posted October 31, 2006 Author Share Posted October 31, 2006 Thank you one and all. map is now looking more like it should be Quote Link to comment
