Seems like there are problems and no one can help me. I was hoping someone here could enlighten me to a work around.

 

btw, I loaded foxfire with the same results.

You need to be a bit more detailed than "when viewing maps and no cache names appear when Identifing". How about specific URLs and specific actions that cause the error.

 

(And I've never heard of a VBScript error on GC.com. Have you scanned your system for adware? That would be my bet.)

What OS are you using? Have you tried the Opera browser?

 

Just now I was able to view Geocaches on the map using Opera. This computer is running XP Media Edition.

I'm using XP Pro and IE 7.0. This was working just find, bu about 2 weeks ago created the error I mentioned.

Typicaly when one clicks indenify and click the map, the map will ballon out the nearest names and give those names below the map as a link to the cache page. Now I just get the mentioned vscript error. The adware might be the problem and I will give it a try tommorrow. Thanks for your help.

This error has been happening for a couple of weeks now... The old style maps are the primary method I use to quickly scan for and browse new caches in my area... If they could be fixed that would be great. For anyone not sure what the problem is try going http://www.geocaching.com/map/ME.asp or any other state's .asp page and you'll see the VBScript error at the bottom of the page where the cache info normally would appear. Thanks,

I was begining to think this was just me. I always used this method to locate caches to places where I was going, seemed quick. Maybe there is another better way since there have not been many complaints or since this error has continued for weeks.

You're not the only one. The problem you mentioned has been messed up since the upgrade. I and another have also posted about the problem in this thread. New Site Bugs

Just thought I'd keep this one alive a bit longer. Found a work around. I finally noticed the google maps option. Works great, maybe better than geocaching maps. That's all I wanted, to get a caches information via a map mode. Keep up the changes (for the better). Changes are hard to accept for most people. As long as improvements are done, people will change in the long run.

Has anyone found a solution to the map error problem?

I have the same problem with the same error message.

This has been the best method for finding caches in an area for the type of Geocaching we do. I would be willing to pay premium membership for this feature.
