Maps not showing any caches

June 29, 2012

My maps aren't showing any caches. I have tried different browsers, same issue.

Is anyone else seeing this?

June 29, 2012

OK caches are on maps now.

I didnt do a thing. they just showed up.

Another glitch, i guess!

June 29, 2012

Same thing here in Sweden. No caches

June 29, 2012

Same here in CA

June 29, 2012

Same here in CA

Click "Map This Location" - no caches display on map.

June 30, 2012

i came here looking for a solution to the same problem. no caches on the map here in northern VA

:lostsignal: I had the sam eproblem this morning (in UK) and no caches showed on geocaching maps

So I restarted my laptop, and tried again, and they had returned :cool: Looks like the old switch off and switch back on might work :anitongue:

June 30, 2012

Same thing today in Sweden. Caches when zoomed out, but no popup descriptions. When zooming in - no caches.

And in general - popup descriptions is much harder to get at since previous (?) release of website

I experienced the same thing this morning when I was looking for caches in Southwestern US in preparation for an upcoming vacation.

Not for me.

Cannot find any caches on maps and pocket queries are coming up blank.

June 30, 2012

OK, back in business now.

Anyone know what caused this?

June 30, 2012

The caches are showing and always have been BUT recently I have not been able to click on them to get the pop up box and then the cache page. Since I decide where to cache by looking at the map first this is really annoying.

July 2, 2012

I also can't see any caches on the map. "Live HTTP headers" (Firefox-Addon) reports lots of lots of 404 errors.

For example:

Fix this please!

I am also not so happy with the geocaching maps lately. Right now I don't see any pop op when you move the mouse over any cache icon. But I have this problem since longer, a couple of weeks, maybe even since monthes now. Some links are showing and some don't. Sometimes it helps to zoom in, but lately even that won't work. Pretty annoying when you're trying to see caches in the neighbourhood you want to visit.....

I hope this issue will get fixed!

Lack of response to mouseover has been an issue for some time for many of us... not "lately". Like Melisesue, it is sometimes the case that certain zones of the screen work, and some do not, and sometimes the case that caches in NO areas of the screen respond to mouseovers.

"Jiggling" the map by switching between maps (for those of us who can) sometimes helps. Sometimes panning will change the location of where mouseover does/doesn't work. Sometimes zoom out/in has been known to help.

Whatever it is, I have an easily repeatable case if anyone from the great Northwest wants to visit here in Colorado. We've got most of the fires out now.

Tried viewing the map today and none of the caches are appearing. Using Firefox 13.0.1.

This issue appears to be sporadic which may indicate that it is a problem with only one or a small number of servers. It would help us track it down if you mention what server you are on when you see the issue occur. You can find out this information like so:

The map page source does not include the web server, so navigate from the map page to another page on the site
View the web page source using one of these techniques:
- Right-click on the page and select "View source"
- Select the View Source menu option:
  - Chrome: Select the "wrench" icon in the upper right, then select"Tools" and click on "View source"
  - Firefox: Select "Tools", then "Web Developer" and then "Page Source"
  - IE: Click the "gear" icon in the upper right, select "F12 Developer Tools", then select "View/Source > Original" from the Developer Tools window
  [*]Use the keyboard shortcut:
  - Chrome and Firefox: Press "Ctrl+U"
  - IE: Press F12, then select "View/Source > Original" from the Developer Tools window
[*]Scroll down to the bottom of the source and look there for a comment that looks like the following:

The servers are all named "WEBXX", where "XX" is any number between 01 and 21.

July 10, 2012

Not seeing any icons. Here's the server I'm on:

July 10, 2012

I have the maps now showing caches, but I liked the old way where the caches were numbered to the names. Am I missing something or is this feature gone now?

July 12, 2012

When I "map this location" after a find caches the map is displayed but no caches in it? Help!

July 12, 2012

it's working again.

July 12, 2012

I can't see any caches either, tried to search using all parameters!

Hello,

Caches just stopped appearing on maps for me in the UK.

Same thing here in Sweden again. If I zoom out there's not a single cache

in the whole world. :unsure:

If your on a Mac with safari go to View menu View source or control click on page with laptop or right click. It works

Hello,

I'm experiencing the same problem now with Firefox 12.0 and  on two different computers.

Before the problem is fixed, is there a way to work around this, e.g. force the site to switch to different server (or at least try)? Thanks.

July 15, 2012

The only time I log into this forum is for this problem in the last few months, its shocking that its taken so long to track down and fix.

Anyway for the record - Server: WEB13; Build: Web.HotFix_20120710.2

July 15, 2012

CHROME

No pop-ups with Chrome – 2 days ago Server: WEB15; Build: Web.HotFix_20120710.2 Today WEB05; Build: Web.HotFix_20120710.2

IE9

Pop ups OK on IE9 (WEB08; Build: Web.HotFix_20120710.2) but you have to zoom in & wait for page to fully load, which is quite slow but better than nothing!

Just noticed caches being gone from the map again, like they did a week ago.

I'm on:

I'm on:

Exactly the same problem and server. The map page isn't showing the server id, the page where I hit "View larger map" did.

10 min later: no bubbles. But I noticed that when I zoom out a few clicks (scale: 5km/2mi), the pop-ups (cache names) appear if I find the right spot on the empty map.

35 min later: no bubbles, tried Chrome and FF on Win 7

1h 30 min later: new server WEB14 and all is well!

Hello,

I am currently having an issue where if I click on the show large map for the cache not one cache shows.

A shame really as we off on a big walk and I was looking if there may be any near to veer off towards.

August 14, 2012

No caches displaying on maps today. Worked find yesterday.

August 15, 2012

Tried again and now have maps on WEB04.

August 19, 2012

Having the same problem here with a Macbook(Safari) and a windows laptop(IE9). Very frustrating. What's the deal?

August 19, 2012

cleared my cache and reset safari too.

i hope this helps

August 19, 2012

No caches showing on maps for me either... Chrome & Safari in OSX.

August 19, 2012

All caches disappeared from my maps about half an hour ago. V frustrating

August 19, 2012

No caches showing up for me either. This happens every so often. I also have the problem with the bubble not showing up when I hover over the cache. I've logged off and then back on and tried Chrome and Internet Explorer. It was OK earlier about 7 am. I'm in Fullerton, CA USA
