+mikemtn Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Maybe I'm dumb, but I still cannot find the IP thing. I see the static map on the home page (maybe 300x300 in size) and the search for caches box, which has a WA zipcode filled in. Is that it? If so, it has me 3000 miles off. It's not something I'll really use, but I'm curious if that's the right thing. I reckon we're dumb. I can't figure it out. Link to comment

The static map in the box on the home page is supposed to be centered on your IP location. Link to comment
+LeGodFather Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 (edited) This is the map we are talking about. It funny, I don't see the "identify" anymore.. Edited October 15, 2008 by GrosseFamille Link to comment
Skippermark Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Whew, that's the one I saw too. Glad I'm not as dumb as I thought. Link to comment
+Nozzletime Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I have that page shift thing happening too. IE6 800*600 Resolution It works ok in firefox, now that I just installed it. Link to comment
+LadyBee4T Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Ok, I've fixed the YAHOO.util.Selector issue. The secondary problem is the fact that the two images that are used in the cache details page are 800px wide. So, if you've got your browser sized smaller than 800px, then it's going to wrap the html. OK, the error is gone. But my browser is not sized smaller than 800 pixels and it is still kicking the left nav bar to the bottom. The page with the error had a large image. But the page I orginally noted doesn't have any large images. Could this just be an IE 6 issue? Deane AKA: DeRock & the Psychic Cacher - Grattan MI Mine sure isn't fixed! I can't even read any of the coords on some of the pages. My old mac clamshell is almost as bad. It means I can't go to look for any FTF or even any new caches or old ones for that matter Is someone working on a fix for this? I sure hope so. I seriously don't want to be told that the fix is firefox or IE7 as I don't want either on this computer. No problems prior to the update on Friday Link to comment
+Haffy Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 The system locates me in Germany although I am living in Belgium... Nice feature, but wouldn't it be an option to use the home coordinates entered in the users profile ? What's the fun in showing something statically that might be right some of the time, if you can do it dynamically wrong most of the time? I believe they are using a beta version of Vinnie's Time-Space Portal technology. It has transported me from Washington State to Maine I think you'll love Maine though..... Link to comment

Both use IE6. Seems sporadic though... some pages pull up fine, others don't. It is impacting both cache pages and player profile pages for me. Link to comment
+Techwiz Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 The Geo-IP was working great for a couple of days, but for the last week and a half it has me located in Washington State - The same as what some other people are seeing. It's off by over 3000 miles. I am in Ontario, Canada. Anything I can do on my end. I am on a home network and not at a business. Techwiz... Link to comment

It's off by over 3000 miles. It's clearly been switched off (the url of the map shows it's locally hosted on the gc.com server, not a dynamic google map). Presumably they switched it off because of all the problems precisely pinning people down accurately enough for geocaching purposes? Link to comment
+Janayla Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 We use the Google map to locate the caches. The zoom feature is now missing along with the terrain, satellite, etc are all missing. Can that please be added back. If it has been relocated on the page, can someone point it out to me. Thank you Link to comment
+jaypit Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I've noticed the same thing. It was a great tool to peruse an area looking for fresh caching grounds! Please bring it back. Link to comment
+mcwomble Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 The googlemaps feature has lost the zoom toolbar - is this a deliberate omission, it used to be really useful to scan the local area Cheers James Chelmsford, UK Link to comment

Deane AKA: DeRock & the Psychic Cacher - Grattan MI Looks good and scrolls for me. Its not working for me. Its a known problem for those using IE6 and is in the fix that was rolled out on 11/13. That release wasn't stable so they said they would try it again this week. I sure hope it works as I'm getting mighty tired of it and can't read the coords a lot of the time. Link to comment
