+Mark+Karen Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Has everyone had a look at the new maps on gc.com? For close up stuff they behave pretty much as the old ones. But the interesting bit is that you can zoom out as far as you like, to view countries, continents or the entire world! And see how busy they are for caches. I've noticed for example that while there are plenty of geocaches in France, this is nothing compared to Germany! Quote Link to comment
+Boltonian Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 I assume you mean geocaching.com as gc.com is a holding page for adverts. Quote Link to comment
+currykev Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Yep. The new maps have now been updated so we can also see our finds and ignore various types of caches. The OSM and Cycle ones are good for various trails too. I do use them more and more to check cache trips. Spain has a few good ones now, especially N and S of Girona. The Germans love to cache. The French are more keen on other pastimes. Quote Link to comment
+speakers-corner Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Just a bit off-topic: 170820 active Caches in Germany to 79156 in the UK. Quote Link to comment

Quite my point, but then you can quite clearly see the borders of countries just in cache locations, look to the east of Germany for example. Quote Link to comment
