+Krosses Krazy Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 For some reason when I search for geocaches within a radius on a post code its coming up "ynable to determin my location" I was trying PL20 6EG and within 10 miles say. I tried it with and without the space in the postcode. Andy Quote Link to comment
+Bear and Ragged Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 (edited) Interesting. Usually putting PL20 6EG, UK gets a result. This one doesn't! Best suggestion is to use the place name, and add , UK after it. Edited December 15, 2013 by Bear and Ragged Quote Link to comment
+MartyBartfast Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 I just tried a few postcodes which have worked in the past and I'l getting the same, looks like somethings broke. Quote Link to comment
+Krosses Krazy Posted December 15, 2013 Author Share Posted December 15, 2013 Thanks for trying I did think it was what I had done previously but guess it is broke :-( Andy Quote Link to comment
+baack40 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Can not search by town close to home either Used to work but now it doesn't. Tried some other towns I used to search for and some work and some don't. Hope they get this fixed as it is a real pain to search several miles away and then have to move map to where I want to be. Seems like the maps just keep getting more and more useless. Quote Link to comment
+Krosses Krazy Posted December 18, 2013 Author Share Posted December 18, 2013 Thx for replies it is now working again. I did pl20 6eg within 10 miles and all good again. Andy Quote Link to comment

+explorer_olway Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 I've been getting the same problem and it seems to have been for several weeks and even if I open GC via Google Chrome rather than IE it still won't allow me to search by postcode. Is there a way around this or should I contact GC?? Quote Link to comment

There's a topic discussing the problem on the Geocaching.com website forum so you might like to add your complaint there: Search locations MrsB Quote Link to comment

+ayrbrain Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Same problem with me, whenever I put in a postcode to search for a cache in an area I will be visiting in the next few weeks, it tells me cannot find postcode, postcode correct though. Quote Link to comment
jri Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 From this thread (Moun10Bike is one of the site admins): We have been bumping into the limits set by the geocoding services that we use, which results in failed address/postal code searches. We are investigating solutions. Quote Link to comment
