+reddeeps Posted April 8, 2011 Author Share Posted April 8, 2011 I found a sort of temporary fix to let me print what I need for the easter holiday, via the osm maps in GSAK for the cache pages (Im still not paperless), then exporting from GSAK via a google earth macro, and using the os overlays in google earth, to get the proper os maps for the area. I hope that makes sense as Im not techie, but it worked for me Quote Link to comment

+j.ollie Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Does anyone have a cached copy of the HTML from http://ge.pythonmoo.co.uk/gcmap/internalmap.htm If we had that it'd be pretty easy to edit the GreasMonkey script and host the HTML somewhere else. Ironically, I had been thinking about doing that anyway because I wanted to experiment with some customizations... Quote Link to comment

Edgemaster Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Ok, I'm now back from Scotland (and oh my! haven't the forums changed a lot!) Some changes seem to have been made to the domain name (I'm not the owner of it), these have now been fixed. I'm now transferring the domain to myself (he was considering letting it expire!)

+Just Roger Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Definitely broken again. It has been working for me with no trouble for the last month or more on FF 5 so its not that. Hopefully one of the Grease monkey script wizards can wave their magic wand over it and get it started again. AFAIK the failure didn't coincide with a Groundspeak update so it could be there has been a change at the OS end. Quote Link to comment
+Moote Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Personally I avoid FireFox, as it is these days no more secure than IE, you should all change to a better browser, as an aside, Grease Monkey is one of the reasons which has added to FF being very insecure, and it is entirely possible for unsuspecting people to have major amounts of detail transferred to a 3rd party without any knowledge of this happening. It has been done, and will probably never change, as the scripts are understood by only the Tefal heads amongst us Quote Link to comment
+Just Roger Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 They are working again this evening. I guess it was an OS problem. Quote Link to comment
jri Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 I've had a go at writing a script that adds Ordnance Survey maps back into both the geocache listings and the Geocaching Maps Beta page. It's available from userscripts.org at http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/109145 It adds OS maps and Bing's aerial view into the list of Map Type options for Geocaching Maps Beta, and makes OS maps an option when you view the dynamic map on a cache page. I've only tested it using Firefox 5, so any feedback is welcome! Quote Link to comment

jri Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I've just had a play with my script on a linux machine with FF3.6.8, and confirmed it doesn't work properly on the main Geocaching Maps page. Unfortunately I'm not yet sure what is causing the error, so I'll fiddle with it over the next few days. However, it does still seem to work under FF3.6 for inserting dynamic OS maps onto cache pages. If the script isn't working under FF5, first check that Geocaching.com is working as you expect with Greasemonkey turned off! I was having intermittent problems last night where the base maps all worked fine, but the geocache overlay didn't show up. As far as I can tell it was a problem with the website, not the script, as it's working fine again today. If the website is OK, and you're using FF5, a possible problem could be a conflict with another Greasemonkey script that you have installed. You can check this by disabling all the other scripts that act on the same page, and seeing if the enhanced maps script works. If it does, re-enable the other scripts one at a time, re-loading the web page after each one, and see which one breaks my script. If anyone spots any clues, let me know and I'll try to get it working for as many people as I can. Quote Link to comment
