+cachyew Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 About the point in time we got Google maps back problems started and as of late have become very bad. At first I could refresh, reload, zoom in and out to get cache icons to load, it didn't happen all the time but often. In the last week, often the map will load but no icons, sometimes a few icons will load - icon box only - clicking sometimes does nothing (no pop up). When I pan to an area 5-10 miles away usually the icons will not pop up. G.C. Maps has been slow to load. These problems have greatly deteriorated in the last 3 days. It's not the same thing every time. A few times recently when submitting a found I've received a pop up saying the page is no longer available - server error. I have these issues using the latest versions of I.E. and Chrome, on 4 machines running XP pro, Vista pro, Ubuntu and Mint - all updates installed. I have more than adequate bandwidth, cpu, ram, etc. Cachyew Quote Link to comment
+halthornhill Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 (edited) I think your site is broken!! Maps take an age to load Icons to not show Dialog takes for ever to show up when clicking on an icon Zooming in and out just doesn't work It took me 30 minutes to submit 3 logs last night. Please sort this out GS as it is becoming impossible to work with Edited April 22, 2013 by halthornhill Quote Link to comment
+Oliver-HB Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 (edited) Same problem(s) here... - maps takes severall minutes to load - cache-icons not clickable for listing - searching for adress (regardlessly which adress) leads to Ontario / Canada - after that no search for adress possible.

+yxza Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 (edited) One word from Sweden = catastrophic!!!! Addition: Same thing yesterday. What is Groundspeak doing to remedy the situation? Monopoly brings out bad situations. Edited April 22, 2013 by yxza Quote Link to comment
+Tsegi Mike and Desert Viking Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 These things always seem to break when we have time off to go caching. Mike starts vacation and we would love to pull up caches around our state from the map. Any chance of this being fixed quickly? Quite a high frustration level with the slowness of the site now.

+bckyweb Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Still broken. Glad to see I'm not the only one! Quote Link to comment
+on4bam Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 On two different computers (both Win7 and FF 20.0.1): Map loads, caches are shown but can't be clicked on while "transferring data from geocaching.com" keeps flashing and there's a solid 25-30 KB/s datatransfer. Quote Link to comment
+J Grouchy Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Yeah...the zooming in/out thing is frustrating. Things are very slow and inconsistent. Sometimes I have zoom in or out to be able to click on a cache to get the pop-up for it, too. Quote Link to comment
+Wild_wild_westgates Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 I've got no caches showing on my map Have been offline for two weeks waiting for broadband to be installed, finally got it back today and the site doesn't work... Running safari on iPad Hope you fix it soon!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment
+frex3wv Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 I checked caches on map in this area and all is functioning just fine! Quote Link to comment
+on4bam Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 It's working again here... Quote Link to comment
+Cissy PSP Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Still very slow here in California. Icons either won't load and take a very long time. Popup happens when icons do appear, but you can't add to GPS from the popup. I have to go to cache page before I can add to GPS. Quote Link to comment
morAg727 Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 When we had Google Maps, the maps worked well for me. Since those other maps appeared, it is slooooowwwwwww. Icons load very bad, maps sometimes load bad. When I switch to an other map, icons wont load at all. It doens't matter with computer, OS or browser I use. They all show the same problem.

+sunflower_sl Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Still not working properly especially on weekends and in the evenig. Sometimes the map does not show any caches at all! Quote Link to comment
Pup Patrol Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Buggy, for sure. A few minutes ago, I was trying to zoom out a wee bit, to get a better overview of the area we want to go next week. I zoomed out one click, and all the cache icons disappeared. And, yeah, it was really slow to function, but I put that down to being Sunday, a busy day for cachers. Frustrated, I left it for a while, and now that I've come back to it, I can zoom out in small increments and the map is populated with caches. Sometimes works/sometimes doesn't....not my favourite operating method. Just hoping that it stays stable for at least a few hours. B. Quote Link to comment
