Another New Cache Feature Request

[+Thot]

Please show the cache that called/linked to the map even when there are more than 500 caches. Often I'm only interested in the original cache and I'd like to see its location on every level of the map.

 

Right now, if there are more than 500 caches on the area covered no caches are shown.

The title should have read Another New Map Feature, but it wont let me edit the Topic title/subject.

1. You could zoom in until your cache appears.

2. If you truly only need to see that one cache, but at a very wide zoom level, then you should open the regular Google map link, not the Geocaching.com Google map.

Then I may not be able to see it's location in relation to the wider area, and/or it's covered up by a bee hive of caches.

I wasn't suggesting there weren't other ways to do it, I just think this adds convenience.

 

Incidentally, I do like the new map.

Maps aren't loaded by caches, but by location. There is no "cache that called/linked to the map". The link may be on a cache page, but the map is positioned by a location, not a cache.

Okay, an arrow at the "location" will be fine.
