diabolic27 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Please can anyone help me. I haven't done any caching for a while but have decided to rekindle the fun. Unfortunately when I stated looking at cache pages, the maps seem to have disappeared. I used to like using the maps to identify nearby caches and plan circular walks. Am I missing something or have they been removed? Quote Link to comment
+ADKer Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Is this map working? Quote Link to comment
diabolic27 Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 Please can anyone tell me how I can access the maps that used to appear on each cache's page? They were really helpful for planning circular walks round nearby sites but they seem to have disappeared. Quote Link to comment
diabolic27 Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 Is this map working? Yes thank you as soon as I clicked on the link the map appeared. But I still can't find a link to any maps on a specific cache page. Quote Link to comment

+redwoodkestrel Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 When you visit a cache page, you should see two maps - one on the right near the top of the cache page, zoomed out pretty far. The second one is down below the cache description and is more zoomed in. Above that map is a link that says "View Larger Map." If you click that you can see all the other caches around that cache. Is that what you're looking for? Quote Link to comment

Keystone Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I merged together two threads, and hid a third, all dealing with the same question. Quote Link to comment
+Calypso62 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 (edited) Another way.... on the cache page, to the left of the lower map, it says "For online maps...". Open the Geocaching.com Map (I usually do this in a new tab) and you will see the area of the cache and all the caches around it. Zoom in and out as you need.

+Graculus Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 You are in the UK, so do you mean the Ordnance Survey maps? These are available for most browsers but require an add on script. Details of this one (and other useful scripts) on my resource site here.
