Firefox OS Maps

[+Just Roger]

I am getting the Beta maps rather than the OS maps tonight. Is it just me or is more attention from Edgemaster required?

[+mpilchfamily]

Last weeks system wide update made the beta maps the standard maps. You can still go back and use the old maps but beta is here to stay.

[+Munkeh]

sent text to edgemaster might be a week or so hes in the middle of exams at uni

[+Gralorn]

Yes, most annoying got back to the good OS Maps and now they have reverted back to those Beta things. Roll on the end to his exams...and of course hope that he does really well in them.

It's the changes! They usually break a few scripts.

 

Which scripts?

Some will update themselves, when they get updated by the writer.

[+Geobuzzbee]

Hi Bear the new updates i do not like,i was using OS maps..Images and this place tidy, cheers i hope they do update them, what i feel the worst update is,on the cache page you could zoom satellite view,now its just a green box in a white back ground very helpful,,not.

Found a temporary fix to get it working with the new site - not extensively tested and as long as you don't mind using a text editor to change one line.

 

Right click on the Greasemonkey icon and select "Manage User Scripts"

In the list that appears select the Geocaching Map Sub and then click the edit button

 

Your text editor should then open (notepad probably - mine has been changed to a different one)

find line 41 which says

mapDivId = "ctl00_ContentBody_uxlrgMap";

 

change this to read

mapDivId = "uxlrgMap";

 

find line 87 which says (this is for the additional waypoints)

coord = parsecoords(awptblr[j].cells[5].innerHTML);

 

change this to read

coord = parsecoords(awptblr[j].cells[6].innerHTML);

 

Save.

 

For me that has brought back the OS maps on the cache page.

 

Edit - added in a change to enable the additional waypoints

kool so just remove ctl00_ContentBody_ are you using fox 4? cheers

[+Madproforg]

Edgemaster made it a lot easier to figure by having comments in the code.

 

I'm still on v3 (usng an extension that is no longer active that doesn't work in 4). Can't see any reason for it not to work with 4, it's just adjusting the html in the page which should be the same across both.

[+Geobuzzbee]

Ta il give it ago got nout to lose if it dosnt work im sure Edgemaster will update it when hes not as busy as he is atm,

can you move the map on the cache page like you could before with the os scripts?

Cheers Madproforg

[+Madproforg]

The maps move ok for me, it is showing a pointer to the cache and I've edited my previous post to add in the edit required to enable the additional waypoints.

 

I've also flipped between the different map types and all seem to be working.

[+Geobuzzbee]

having opened this in note pad i cant find the text i need to change any way of narrowing it down for a dummy lol cheers

[+Madproforg]

If your on windows 2k or later

In the Format menu make sure word wrap is turned off (no tick besides it - selecting it will toggle it on and off)

this enables the Goto option in the Edit menu, (shortcut is Ctrl-G I believe) which allows jumping to a line number

 

I had discovered this feature in notepad by accident one day, and ended up puzzled for a bit as to why it didn't work all the time.

[+Geobuzzbee]

EUREKA! and also Glory Be! How nice to have proper maps back again so we can avoid all the angst over beta maps. Thank you.

 

Actually my version already had the 6 in line 87 so i only had to make one change.

Sounds like it might be a different version of the script. If you look at the top for @description there should be a version number, the one I'm using says v1.3.4

 

If yours says something earlier it's probably worthwhile downloading the latest version first - http://ge.pythonmoo.co.uk/gcmap/geocachingmaps.user.js - thanks to "Follow the arrow" for the link

[+Geobuzzbee]

yea im on 1.0.6 duhh lol il update thought i was going cheers again Madproforg

 

Geocaching Map Substituter is v1.3.4 but no line 41 in it? thats not the os map Substituter am i making probs by having both running?

 

OK im cus iv just took out the os and now i can use the all new Showing Dynamic Map on the cache page!!!!

Nice one, signed.

[+Gralorn]

I'll just patiently wait for Edgemaster to finish his exams as I do not have the same text as is being explained. For instance when I go to manage scripts I only have the option of disabling or removing! neither of which I wish to do. So cannot really get to first base as they say. Ready when you are Edge! Good luck with your exams as well. :rolleyes:

On Firefox 4, and maybe 3 as well but I can't check that, when you go to 'Manage Scripts' and get the list of scripts, Right click on the Map Substituter and Edit is the first one on the menu that pops up.

 

I found the easiest way to find the bit to change was to copy and paste the original text from the post above into the search box and do a search. For me it went straight to the place I wanted.

 

The second change (for the children) was already in the version I had so if it can't find the original text try searching on the new text to see if it is already there.

Whilst Edgemaster proves his worth to examining boards, here is OS Map substitute script with hacks suggested above. Within Firefox click the link and let greasemonkey install the script, which is still version number 1.3.4

Has anyone got this script to work with any other browser?

[+Gralorn]

Well,well, well what can I say? Thanks a million Flipflopnick you've certainly made my day. Thank You very much, works a treat! :rolleyes:

[+JF20938]

Works for me!

 

Thanks Flipflopnick and - of course - Edgemaster.

 

- John.

[+reddeeps]

Working OK for me...

Looks like they forgot to renew their DNS name and did it today, so it could be working for some but not for others but should propagate out eveywhere pretty soon.
