+Pond Bird Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 I click in the map to see the geocache name, but it doesn't show up. IT worked fine for years, but today It isn't working at all. I refreshed the page don't know what happened. Quote Link to comment
+TriGamma Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I am having the same problem. Worked earlier today but not anymore. Tried refreshing, etc. Same problem in either Chrome or IE. Quote Link to comment
+1949Sidewinder Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I have been having the same problem on a regular basis lately. Today it is really bad. It is rather difficult to plan a caching trip when the website does not provide its most basic function! Quote Link to comment
+tomturtle Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I am having the same problem. I can see caches on the map, but I can't tell which ones they are. This is one of the most important things I use for planning a cache trip and it's not working. Quote Link to comment
+tomturtle Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 No sooner than I post that, it starts working again. Could someone could figure out why it sometimes doesn't work???? This is not the first time I have noticed this problem, but most of the time it can be fixed by refreshing the screen. Quote Link to comment
+TriGamma Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Mine is working ok now too. Quote Link to comment
+Viajero Perdido Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Very recently discussed here. It's a long-standing bug that they're either unwilling or unable to fix. Quote Link to comment

Now its saying "Error Occured" when I click on the cache listing! Quote Link to comment
+imoutnabout Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I've been having the same trouble, but I can't even click on the listing. The map opens and shows me all caches, but my cursor is a hand, not an arrow, and I can't point to or click on any cache icons. Since this is my preferred method of finding nearby caches or routing out a trip, I'm stuck!! Quote Link to comment
+caretaker5 Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 I was having the same problem of not being able to click on a cache icon on the map, same problem in IE and chrome. just checked now before posting this note and it is working? have seen it run slow before but it would always start to work after a couple seconds. makes me wonder why I keep my premium?

+sv_ted Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 It is not working for me in IE, Chrome, or Firefox. It has always been touchy but now seems to be completely broken. Hopefully, it will now get fixed for good. Quote Link to comment
+st3phan Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 (edited) I noticed this "feature" long time ago. But be shure ... they won't change the map too soon. Try two things: a.) Reduce the Caches on the map, while disabling cachetypes on the left search panel. b.) Use the alternative-Map on gc-project_com which is still beta but uses the GC-API after all. Hope it works.

+petendebs Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 So today I have a screen on the GC map displaying 10 (traditional, member-only) caches. I can access 7 of them but 3 refuse to "give". How is this?? Incidentally, this represents an unusually high proportion of successful clicks in my experience. Quote Link to comment

Thanks to st3phan for his useful suggestions. Tried reducing the number of caches on map page down to just unfound caches - still unable to access cache pages; and a similar result over at projectgeocaching or their maps - although in their defence, they do point out that their maps are still very much in the development stage and that what you are accessing is just a ''sneak preview''. I'm now going to submit a ''help'' email to Groundspeak, as I believe this situation is unacceptable and needs explanation. It's such a basic staple of cachers globally to access caches via their maps, and if enough of us ask for help hopefully we may receive some. Quote Link to comment
