hobiekytty Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 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.

+ScooterDawg Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 I'm having the same issue using Safari. Quote Link to comment
+richt2000 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment
+weustamiata Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment
+Kenobe Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 I just started to have the same problem today. I hope there is a solution soon Quote Link to comment
+Kenobe Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 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! Quote Link to comment
+hoomau99 Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 (edited) Same problem. Started yesterday. Using Chrome. Firefox working OK. Edited September 28, 2012 by hoomau99 Quote Link to comment
+hoomau99 Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 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.

quickweh Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 (edited) 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!! Edited September 28, 2012 by quickweh Quote Link to comment
+Kenobe Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 (edited) 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.

+RogFel Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 I find I can't use the scroll wheel to zoom and click and drag to move the map around using chrome now. Quote Link to comment

+Kenobe Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 (edited) 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 Edited September 29, 2012 by Kenobe Quote Link to comment

+Toffeldjuret Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment
TheCELTs Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 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 ! Quote Link to comment

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. Quote Link to comment
+MartyBartfast Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 ... 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! Quote Link to comment

TheCELTs Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment
+Team Vorst Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 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". Quote Link to comment

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. Quote Link to comment
+lefisher Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment

Afaik the Google Map is a Premium Member Feature only which you can select instead of the default Openstreetmap view. Quote Link to comment
TheCELTs Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 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). Quote Link to comment

Windrush Warriors Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 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! Quote Link to comment

+DanPan Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 (edited) I found a solution for Chrome users! Disable all extensions in Google Chrome. In my case the uTorrentBar extension was the malefactor. Edited October 6, 2012 by DanPan Quote Link to comment
