+mtn-man Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 There is a very long topic in the Geocaching.com Web Site forum regarding it, but here is the post with the explanation of why it was removed. http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php...p;#entry3995721 Quote Link to comment
The Toughs Posted July 18, 2009 Author Share Posted July 18, 2009 Thanks for the info, a real bugger losing that I found it very useful for planning caches in new areas ie on our hols Quote Link to comment
+calibri Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 You can still load a GPX file into Google Earth and come up with the result you wanted Quote Link to comment

+fat boy slow Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 (edited) I used google earth when visiting new areas in order to take a look at cache density. I'll miss it but at least I found this link http://www.geocaching.com/map/ in the other thread and it works for my home post code . Strange how I've never noticed it before .....
