+Walkabout 44 Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 I just got my new Verizon Voyager (the so-called "iPhone killer"). But why is my google maps screen blank? And why is the "View map" screen blank on the geocaching sites? Why don't the maps on the cache sites display? Does this unit not display google maps correctly? And it won't display yahoo maps or Mapquest either. This doesn't happen with my son in law's iPhone, it displays them all fine. Is there something I'm missing or is this unit just inferior. The Verizon people are clueless, they've never heard of geocaching. If I can't figure it out then the new Voyager goes back and it's the iPhone for me, even though I've been a Verizon customer for years. If they can't display a geocaching.com screen properly then they have lost my business. Has anyone else out there tried to use a Voyager for geocaching and had this problem? Thanks for any help in advance. Walkabout 44 Quote Link to comment

Thanks for any help in advance. Walkabout 44 Just a guess here since I've never used a Voyager, but I'm wondering if it's a javascript issue? I know the iPhone has a real browser and so far as I know, no other phone has a browser equal to Safari in the iphone. And by "real", I mean fully supporting javascript, css, DHTML, etc. Google maps is heavily javascript dependent, so that might be your issue. Quote Link to comment
+Walkabout 44 Posted May 12, 2008 Author Share Posted May 12, 2008 Yeah, it could be a javascript issue. When I try to view the Mapquest maps I get the message: "You must have javascript and cookies turned on to use all Mapquest features". Quote Link to comment
+Walkabout 44 Posted May 13, 2008 Author Share Posted May 13, 2008 Spoke to Verizon Second level support today. Google maps (and therefore the map on geocaching.com, too) was said to be "beyond the capabilities of the current Voyager unit." Guess that resolves that. Quote Link to comment

+SparkyInCali Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Try this works great on PDA phones www.google.com/gmm/ for maps I have never found the need for regular google maps with my phone. Quote Link to comment
