Does Google Earth still show geocaches?

[+CarlGurt]

When I went to see geocaches on Google earth, I found that I couldn't see any. The 'Geocache Viewer' was still checked, but no dice. I went to My Profile on Geocachiong.com and downloaded the app again, but still no views. Does any one know if somethings changed?

I just tried it and it didn't work. I unchecked my downloaded PQ file and it then functioned normally. Sadly it does show the caches about 300+ feet displaced.

I had that problem about a week ago. I fixed it by deleting the Geocaching add-on (KML file.) Updating Google Earth, then reinstalling the Geocaching add-on, and it now functions normally.

 

Hope this helps!

After a change at Groundspeak/Google, the above is the way to see caches!

Dear Minimike2 & Mini-Geek - Thanks for your help! Glad it wasn't just me. I didn't really know how to follow Minimike2's advice, so I followed Mini-Geeks advice and now it works just fine. Carl - CarlGurt of "The Two Reprobates"

FYI - If you are using the .kml add-on, the caches in GoogleEarth will only show an approximate location. This is by design so you can't circumvent the PQ process.

 

However, if you import a PQ .gpx file into GoogleEarth, it will show the correct location (subject to the accuracy of the coordinates portrayed in GE).
