Browse v. Search caches maps.

When on a cache page and clicking on View Larger Map it defaults to the Search Caches map.  This map has very powerful search filters but for my purposes I never use it.  

 

Is there a way to make the Browse Caches map the default?    I tried the search forums tool but it didn't find what I was looking for.

I don't like this either! The search filters have no bearing at all when I want to see the cache on a larger map.

Except for seeing contours, the Search map is of no use to me what-so-ever. It's slow to load and then only shows a small area. I use Browse map, where I can see all the caches. Very important to see all the caches, especially when preparing a trip of hundreds (or more) of kms. I need the broad overview.

Yep.  This is the way I use it too.  I want to see where all the caches are first and then make my route.

 

Thanks for the info everyone.

My 'shortcut' is to use the "Find... ...all nearby caches" link, which produces a list, then click the Map This Location link to go to the Browse map. Seems to me to be the simplest/quickest way to get a browse map centered at the listing coordinates that doesn't involve cutting and pasting.
