grommit99 Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Hi, Over the past few days, the google maps interface to find geocaches has been acting bad for me. Examples include: Errors on page, never loading. mindless scrolling of map. hanging explorer. Anybody else see this or know how to fix it? XP with IE6. Grommit. Link to comment
+StarBrand Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Do you have Norton Internet Security Installed - I've read a few reports indicating that is a problem with the Google maps. Link to comment

Examples include: Errors on page, never loading. mindless scrolling of map. hanging explorer. Anybody else see this or know how to fix it? XP with IE6. Grommit. #1) Upgrade to IE 7, it's free... (IE 6 maint. is frozen now except for security updates) There are some portions of Google Maps not supported by IE 6, and run fluky... #2) Norton has no problems with Google Maps... as long as you have a current version... You can't expect Norton 2002 to run correctly now... It too has been frozen for maint. I'm running the 2008 version of Norton SystemWorks Premier with no problems... IE 7 has been out for over a year and most bugs are worked out... Most existing IE 6 bugs will not be fixed, except for security holes...

+Miragee Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 You could also upgrade your browser to Opera. The maps work fine with that browser. Link to comment
+sfidc Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 over the last two days have not been able to either load a cache site using the way or when I use the map function. It then crashes. Using Safari. Link to comment
psyclawps Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Another discussion thread about the problem with google maps: http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php...=8&t=182703 This is a major bummer since the layering of cache data on top of the interactive maps is a central function of the website. Wondering if the MS Virtual Earth components have anything to do with it? Anybody else suspecting that as the conflict? Link to comment
+NeoAddict Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Heh, I have a different issue; when I type in my parents' zipcode 55303, I'm bounced to a totally different city halfway across the state. Really odd. Link to comment
+wrencher Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 (edited) Its so bad I started going to the garmin website for caches. When you go through the garmin site all the caches show up and you can scroll like you were using the old geocache .com map. Every time I try to map it on geocache.com it takes for ever to load ,loads only a couple of caches in the area, and when you scroll out of the blue boundries forget it. May be time to cancel subscription and just go through garmin. Edited March 20, 2008 by wrencher Link to comment
