Schatztaucher Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 Hi! Since a few months I'm a big fan of geocaching. I log all my own hidden (more than 15!) and found caches at www.geocaching.com. I prefer that portal! In the last time a lot has changed, e.g. page design. Most of that changes were enhancements but some things a not really nice! Here some examples: the maps: - in former times the Mapblast system was advised as best - but now you advise the Microsoft maps - the problem is that the maps from this source are not detailed outside the United States (e.g. here in Europe) the picture overview on cache logs: - previously all pictures were accepted when not bigger than 100 KByte independently from its width or height - but now the are resized to 600 pixel width so that is impossible to leave detailed pictures in the log (even my cell phone make better pictures!) - the resize procedure is independently from its height, that means that portrait images can be twice or more in size than landscape - also the portrait pictures are not shown completely in this overview table (it's only a middle part of the picture) Maybe somebody at the team of www.geocaching.com find time and a way to make it better. I felt a mood by a lot german geocachers that they don't like what you do now! I hope a way to keep them using www.geocaching.com will be find timely. I also heard that some people are working on alternative portals for geocaching. That can't be desirable. One system for all geocachers worldwide would be the best. I hope the best!
