+dlgps Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 I noticed a few days ago that when I click on the "view maps" link on a trackable page that the purple lines showing the track the tb or coin took is no longer showing up. Anyone know what happened to the lines? It was a cool feature and I miss it! Link to comment
+Eartha Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 That's a website issue, not a Travel Bug issue. Moving to the geocaching.com website forums. Link to comment
+Corey Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Yes, I've noticed the lines are missing. Not sure what's up with that. Perhaps it happened when Raine reverted to an older version. Link to comment
+Raine Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 No, it goes back to when Google released an update to the Mapping API. Looks like I need to revert that page to the old API as well till Google gets things figured out. -Raine Link to comment
+garylost Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 (edited) Hope it gets worked out seeing the lines was half the fun Edited October 25, 2008 by garylost Link to comment
+technetium Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 I also miss the zoom widget on the map. Might be also caused by the new API. p.s. It's great the map extends when the browser window becomes wider. But a higher map would also be nice. Tc Link to comment
+Gram&Gramps Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 We also miss the map lines and the zoom in/out feature. We have released 125 school TB's this year and last. Our students track these on large maps posted on hallway bulletin boards. Since their geography knowledge is limited, these features now missing are hampering the kids ability to place map pins. This, in turn, affects the geography lessons which we tie to our travel bug project. Hopefully Groundspeak will listen to this feedback and get this fixed asap.

+mfamilee Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 It's a relief to at least know we aren't the only ones who have noticed the missing lines... thought we broke something. Link to comment
+Raine Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 I checked this morning.. it seems that Google has fixed the issue. Post in here if you see anything else related to that. -Raine Link to comment
+moop Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Works fine with IE 7.0 and Google Chrome beta. Still not working with Netscape 7.2 but neither does a lot of other stuff. Link to comment
