Non interactive map with Google Chrome

[hobiekytty]

After I did a cache search and went to "Map this Location". It brings up a map with cache icons however I cannot interact with any of the icons to find out the name, details or go to specific cache page. I'm using Google Chrome Version 22.0.1229.56 beta-m. Also did an update check and Google Chrome is the most current version. I tried the same thing using IE and FireFox, they seem to work fine. Also submitted a report to Google Chrome team.

Me too! And very annoying it is too

[+ScooterDawg]

I'm having the same issue using Safari.

[+richt2000]

Ditto on the ipad with ios6. I can't click on any icons on the map...... Unable to log my finds now using the ipad.

 

I'm having the same issue using Safari.

Still the same issue with Chrome. When I hover over a mapped cache, the name does not appear. I often plan my caching day by loading caches from the map. Seems to work OK in Firefox. Please help. Note, this just started yesterday.

[+Kenobe]

I just started to have the same problem today.

I hope there is a solution soon

Hi I recently had a windows update and the problem developed after that.

I did a system restore to remove the update and the problem seems to be resolved!

[+hoomau99]

Same problem. Started yesterday. Using Chrome. Firefox working OK.

As soon as this began, I noticed a new feature on gs.com. Specifically, after inputting corrected coords for a mystery cache, the map on the cache page displays a blue line from the original coords to the corrected coords. It also shows a green checkmark at the location of the corrected coords. When I use Firefox, the larger map is interactive (i.e., the icons are interactive). However, the slick new changes on the map for mystery caches with user corrected coords do not show up. Ergo, new map view for corrected coords = larger map loses interactive, at least on my account.

Chrome on windows does not display, Chrome on Android works on Xperia Arc so may be a Windows update problem. Any ideas how to fix?

 

Did a Windows system restore to September 16th and all works well!!

Hi

I had the problem yesterday,did a system restore to the day before and all went well till today!

Today it was the same problem.

Did another system restore and it worked again....till I shut off my computer and restarted it

Google chrome did an update (automatic) and back to the same problem!!!!

I reinstalled IE 8 and all is well.

Whats up with that?

I'm not a computer wiz, only very frustrated!!!!!

I hope tomorrow will not bring more frustration.

I find I can't use the scroll wheel to zoom and click and drag to move the map around using chrome now.

Yes, I am having that exact problem.

Hello Folks;

I removed Google chrome and I'm now using Internet explorer and have had no problem since.

I do believe the problem is with Google Chrome.

I hope this helps

Same problem here. It's only with Google Chrome.

[Machy73]

I am having the same problem with new version chrome and iPad iOS 6.

[the hockadays]

am having the same problem, i use google chrome causes it works so much better then explorer on my computer, will this problem get sorted

[+Toffeldjuret]

Just came here to add that both me and my friend has the exact same problem with Chrome and Safari, but it works with IE for some mysterious reason, hope this gets fixed soon.

[TheCELTs]

Yup, me too. Can't interact with caches at all on the Chrome map, but tried it with IE and it works (as well as IE ever did - starting it up reminded me why I stopped using it). Would really like this working again with Chrome, 'cos I use Jiri's script to get caches superimposed on an OS map, and that doesn't work with IE.

 

So is anyone likely to be looking at this - is it a Groundspeak problem to get their product working with Chrome, or a Google problem to get Chrome working with a popular website, or even an MS problem because of the suggestion that it might have been a Windows update that triggered it ? This could be too easy to fall between the cracks !

Same for me. It seems to occasionally bring up the info when I hover but mostly it just doesn't work. I use Chrome all the time on my Mac but Chrome have stopped providing updates for the Mac OS I have installed so I just may have to ditch it. Pity, as it's been my favourite browser for a while now. I will just have to go back to using Firefox.

[+MartyBartfast]

... or even an MS problem because of the suggestion that it might have been a Windows update that triggered it ?

I think we can rule out Windows as the root of the problem 'cos I'm having the same issue with Chrome on Linux.

 

It still all works with Firefox though!

[patdhill]

Add me to the list of people it's stopped working for on Chrome.

[Bromley1983]

Having the same issue for a few days now.

[TheCELTs]

Just noticed there's another thread on this problem (here), containing firstly what looks like a plausible explanation for what's happening (although it's not clear why something that used to work no longer does - what changed ?), and secondly a recent comment from a Groundspeak person to the effect that they're looking at it. Sounds hopeful.

The problem came up with the latest Chrome Update last week. I just switched the map to Google Maps and I can click the caches again, although the moue pointer doesn't change and stays a "hand".

Chrome doing the same here on the larger map. But when i switch to Google Maps it shows no cashes at all. Any settings i can change to show show tiles on google map? IE seems to work and may need to change over.

[+lefisher]

Only found this problem today. Cannot interact with the map at all but if I close Chrome and open IE then it works. I prefer to use Chrome so I hope this problem is sorted out soon.

Afaik the Google Map is a Premium Member Feature only which you can select instead of the default Openstreetmap view.

[TheCELTs]

I don't have the option of switching back to Google Maps, I just get a splash screen inviting me to become a Premium member, so I guess that confirms this is a Premium-only work around. So it seems I have to shell out some more dosh or limp along with unsatisfactory maps. Even if I did pay up, I would lose the option of having OS maps (v useful here in UK).

[Moun10Bike]

We have identified the cause of this issue and will have a fix in place in tomorrow's site update.

[+A J Pombo]

Thanks.

[+Postie]

WooHoo. Thanks in anticipation. I didn't realise how much I rely on the OS map feature till its missing!!

[mhiker]

Me,too! This is really terrible--I was using the map to look up caches, etc.

[kaptnkrunch&k]

i've the same problem as of saturday afternoon......the caches won't highlite

my map page isn't aligned with the caches..........i find caches in the middle of lakes that are suppose to be on land

it works ok in internet explorer, so it must be a google chrome problem

[stebu]

It started working

Thanks for the fix!

[TheCELTs]

It is indeed all working again, many thanks to the folks at Groundspeak for fixing it.

[stebu]

And now it's broken again

[Moun10Bike]

We had to roll back today's release due to some login issues. We are investigating and will have the new release back up as soon as we can.

[+weustamiata]

Issue seems to be fixed!!!!! Thank you, Groundspeak!! I am a happy Cacher now!

[Windrush Warriors]

Map started working temporarily today for me, with just a small area that was unusable, but as of now in Chrome 22.0.1229.79 m it is out of commission. Happen to have Safari installed as a backup browser, and it worked fine. Hopefully the update will be unleashed soon!

[Fanegas Team]

Same problem here. It's only with Google Chrome.

[+DanPan]

I found a solution for Chrome users!

Disable all extensions in Google Chrome.

 

In my case the uTorrentBar extension was the malefactor.
