+Danbike_Lizbike Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 I used to be able to click on the mapquest link on a cache page and go directly to a map. That appears to have been changed. Anyone know how to get the old functionality back? Link to comment

Anyone know how to get the old functionality back? The MapQuest link was changed by.... MapQuest! They usually ask me before doing things like this. Just change 'www' to 'atlas' and it should work. I'm sure GC is working on updating the pages, even as we speak. Or maybe after the weekend. Link to comment

Cydriver Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 (edited) The first word at the beginning of the link to the Mapquest map has to be changed to read http://atlas.mapquest........ instead of http://www.mapquest....... Hope that helps. And hope they fix the links. A lot of times the Google map doesn't have the detail and the Mapquest map does. Edited March 8, 2008 by Cydriver Link to comment
+Foothills Drifter Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 (edited) Howdy...... I know WHAT to do......I just don't know WHERE EXACTLY to do it (to make it permanent) THANKX! Vern / Foothills Drifter... Edited March 8, 2008 by Foothills Drifter Link to comment

Uh, this is not a permanent fix. That just what needs to be done to the URL to get it to work for now. Just go up to the location bar, and change 'www' to 'atlas' and hit enter. A permanent fix will have to be done by the Groundspeak coders. And before anyone asks, yes I could write a GM script to do this, but since this should be fixed fairly quickly, it doesn't seem worth the effort. Link to comment

+JC_Geo Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 I am having the same problems with the Mapquest link off the cache pages. I will wait as well to see if it is updated by geocaching.com personnel. Thanks for the work around. Link to comment
