+fitzsimons Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 On the "old" maps I could tick a box to put a number next to each cache and cross-reference them to a list of caches displayed on the same webpage. Neither of these features appears to be available any more. This was very useful when printing out a map and a list to take out caching. Can this facility be reinstated? Quote Link to comment

+errvee Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 When I select "View Larger Map" then how can I identify "this cache". There might be tens/hundreds other caches around on the map. Maybe different color for actual cache? "Zooming in" is another option. Quote Link to comment
+The A-Team Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 When I select "View Larger Map" then how can I identify "this cache". There might be tens/hundreds other caches around on the map. The map always centers on the cache. Quote Link to comment

Yes, this is the feature that I'm missing, too. I would really much like to get it on the new maps as well. Edited March 2, 2012 by friduliina Quote Link to comment
+Boondog L Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I know there is a thread about the satellite images not working, I have a different problem with the OSM maps. With Google Maps we could number the geocaches on the map and print out a table of the geocache names associated with the number. Is that ability available with the new maps?? For a while there was a pull out on the right side with the title Geocache List that was empty but I don't see it now. We have used this feature extensively in the past and really miss it on the new maps. Quote Link to comment
Moun10Bike Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 This function is not available with the current maps. as this is not a bug report, I'm moving this thread to the feature discussions section. Quote Link to comment
Keystone Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I merged the previous two posts into an existing thread discussing the same feature from the old maps. Quote Link to comment

Neither of these features appears to be available any more. This was very useful when printing out a map and a list to take out caching. Can this facility be reinstated? We have had the same thoughts and regrets about the new map. The new version of geocaching maps is in many ways very nice, but we really would like to get the old feature back showing the names etc. of the geocaches in a panel next to the map. The names of the geocaches often gives us a good idea of how interesting they may be, and while travelling we will often not be able to search for more than just a few, and they should be as good as possible. At other times an interesting name of a geocache tells us where to go at all, when we have some spare time for a little detour. For theese purposes the name list was great. Hoping this change suggestion to the old way will be considered, we still say thanks for a great game. Michael and Karin. Quote Link to comment
+MrSnidley Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 I agree with the other posters. There was a great useability loss when the ability to cross-reference cache names with the map was lost. I now capture the screen to a jpeg, and enter the GC identifiers with an image editor. What a pain. Great loss of functionality here. Quote Link to comment
+safari trackers Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I agree very strongly with the other posts concering the older I D of cache #'s next names etc. Do not like the new mapping system at all!!! Quote Link to comment
