+Birddroppings Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 AS is always the case with upgrades (w/ ANY application...not just GCing) there are always HUGE steps backwards. There is one VERY irritating one with the new upgrade here. Prior to the big upgrade today you could click on a cache icon on the map and a pop-up box would appear with the option of downloading that cache directly to your GPSr. THAT OPTION NO LONGER EXISTS!!! WHY? Now you have to actually go to that cache page to download the cache. NOT A WISE MOVE...what would be the reasoning behind removing that option? Just plain stupid in my opinion.

+-Scarecrow- Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 I can't even get the pop-up box to open, so that I can get to the individual cache page Quote Link to comment
+LuckyPlan Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 That's weird because it seems they now require you to use more of their bandwidth by going to the cache page. Quote Link to comment
+litngbug Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 It still works if you close out the Beta Maps, use the old style 'bug That's weird because it seems they now require you to use more of their bandwidth by going to the cache page. Quote Link to comment
+TheLoneGrangers Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 I'm hoping its a bug, but I could see it as a attempt to get non premium members to have to upgrade so they have to run PQs. I sometimes find it easier to look on the map near an area where I want to go and click on them one at a time, but you can't do that anymore, it used to be on the beta maps. Quote Link to comment
+The Sweets Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 And on the beta maps you can't get a list of caches. I use this feature all the time. You can still get it on the old maps but they don't show the personalisation. The upgrade has provided two options neither of which is as good as the original! Quote Link to comment
