+egroeg38 Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 I have always been able to print a map on geocaching.com from my Mac. Now only about 1/4 of the map will load and that is all I see in print preview and that is all that will print. However, I CAN print a map from my PC so it seems to me that there is a browser issue. Anyone else having this issue? I can take a screen shot on my Mac and print from there but I have never had to do this before all this trouble started with the maps. Quote Link to comment
+egroeg38 Posted April 25, 2013 Author Share Posted April 25, 2013 I posted yesterday but did not get any replies. I cannot print maps from my Mac. Here is a screen shot of what the map looks like when printed (look at the center of the shot for the print preview.) My linkScreen shot of my Mac I can print about the top 2 inches of what is showing on my screen. I have tried everything. This is a new issue so I am wondering if it is me or a Safari issue. The maps print fine from my PC. Quote Link to comment
Moun10Bike Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 egroeg38, please report your issue through our Help Center here. This is not being reported by other users so we will need to troubleshoot with you individually. Quote Link to comment
+edscott Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I also use a MAC [OSX 10.6.8] and Safari [5.1.9]. I hadn't tried to to print directly from the site for a long time due to the inconsistency of the results I was getting at the time. I now take a screen shot of the specific areas I need and save them as a PDF for printing. Tonight after reading the above post I gave it a try and got about 10% of the map along the top edge.

+egroeg38 Posted May 1, 2013 Author Share Posted May 1, 2013 This is a real issue. I still cannot print maps from my Mac using Safari. I have tried both Google and Leafmaps to no avail. I posted this issue to Groundspeak through their help center several days ago and just heard back last night. "Hello George, Thank you for contacting us. I found this thread regarding your problem. https://github.com/apneadiving/Google-Maps-for Rails/issues/105 Let me know, if that helps. Best Regards, Annika Community Manager" None of the solutions I found in this thread has worked for me. I am starting to wonder if it is related to Java and the latest update from Apple. It seems to me that I could always print maps before this latest "fix." BUT, this also started at the same time that Groundspeak was having major problems with maps so I am not sure. Anyone else notice if this started after the latest Java update? Quote Link to comment
+cflute Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 (edited) Add me to the list of frustrated map issues. I rely very heavily on the maps to plan my geocaching day. I get just the top 2 inches. Any help????? Edited May 1, 2013 by cflute Quote Link to comment
+camnpete Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Has anyone come up with a solution to this problem? Is anyone working on it? Thanks, Camnpete Quote Link to comment
+live2quad Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 I can't print while on the site. This has happened only since I became a premium member Quote Link to comment
+Dr.Scissortail Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 I use Google Chrome as my main browser. I have always had blank stripes in my maps, but I could get by. Lately I can only see a half inch of map at the top of the page. However, when I go to Internet Explorer browser I can get a full map. I think it is because Google maps is no longer suported by Geocaching.com because Google wants them to pay as a high-volume user. I'm not sure if this is the reason, but I can print a map when using Internet Explorer. It is a pain to go over to that browser - and it is super slow compared to Google Chrome. Quote Link to comment
+stoker331 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Add me to a frustrated list, has anyone solved this yet? All I get is a strip across the top? Quote Link to comment
Moun10Bike Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 We are expecting to have this issue fixed in Tuesday's site update. Quote Link to comment
Moun10Bike Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Unfortunately, the fix for this issue did not make it into the current development cycle. It is hoped that we can get it in the next two-week sprint that begins today. In the meantime, a work-around is to try printing from another browser. Quote Link to comment
+camnpete Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 I JUST HAD SUCCESS PRINTING THE MAPS ON THE ENTIRE PAGE, USING FIREFOX Quote Link to comment
+weston wanderer Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 (edited) I am using Chrome and only get a strip across the top. I don't have any other browser installed. Is this going to be resolved any time soon? Edited May 20, 2013 by weston wanderer Quote Link to comment
+The A-Team Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Is this going to be resolved any time soon? It's always a good idea to read through a forum thread before posting. Your question is answered in post #17. Quote Link to comment
+RPanda Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 I too have this problem with printing maps from my Mac. I can only print a thin strip of the desired map and it's not enough to be useful. This is a fairly recent problem for me since up until a few weeks ago I was able to print maps from my Mac without any issues. I can print from a PC but it is not convenient to do so since I don't own a PC. I use Safari as a browser. I haven't yet tried to print screen shots of the desired map so I will try that until I find a solution. Any suggested fixes would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment

Maps still don't print properly from Safari. Quote Link to comment
