+twilc33 Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 The update today took away the google street maps and satellite maps. The new maps are grossly inferior to the previous maps and satellite images. We need the maps back to what they were. Link to comment
+Lil Devil Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Are you willing to pay twice or three times as much for membership in order to get the Google Maps back? Not saying that's an option, but seeing as the new Google Map licensing structure would cost over $3 million per year, the money would have to come from somewhere. Link to comment
+ACESnEIGHTS Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 (edited) Very disappointing. The maps went from HD to SD, I dont care about cost, this was a bad move. Edited February 15, 2012 by ACESnEIGHTS Link to comment
+ACESnEIGHTS Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 (edited) I use Google Earth on Iphone and it doesn't cost me any more. Edited February 15, 2012 by ACESnEIGHTS Link to comment
+The A-Team Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Very disappointing. The maps went from HD to SD, I dont care about cost, this was a bad move. You wouldn't happen to have a few million dollars burning a hole in your pocket, would you? I know a certain website that could use it right now... Since you don't care about cost, and all...

+ACESnEIGHTS Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Well if I did I would rather give it to them then a website that just screwed their customers! Link to comment
+HEADLANDERS Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Why has the distance 'Scale Marker' bar been removed from the maps. This is really useful to get an idea of the distance to walk when planning a caching trip. It is also useful when placing caches. Please reinstate this feature. Link to comment

I'm guessing that we've got more "Premium" members than standard ones. Could Google Maps not have been made a premium only feature? Link to comment
+mycouch Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 (edited) Sorry - but this "map-thing" is the worst change ever. The new maps are slow, inaccurate in remote areas and I have to switch between the maps in order to find more details (maybe - or not). I understand that you were forced to do something after the google announcement. Please create a new membership "product" or upgrade-feature with google maps & satellite view for an additional monthly fee or whatever. Edited February 15, 2012 by mycouch Link to comment
Keystone Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 As there is no specific "bug" being reported, I am closing this thread. Those interested in discussing/complaining about the maps are invited to post in the Feature Request forum, the Geocaching Topics forum, or the Release Notes forum. There are active threads about this same subject in each of those places. Link to comment
