+pfalstad Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 1. go to geocaching.com/play/search 2. click on search box where it says "City, state, coordinates, GC code..." then click "use my home location" 3. it brings up results, but notice the coordinates are a bit weird, they have ' instead of the minute symbol. 4. make any change to the filters and click search 5. now it brings up a page saying "0 results for..." and it shows the coordinates, but only the north, not the west. the workaround is easy enough, just delete the weird coordinates in the search box before step 4. 1 Quote Link to comment

+gcstraggler Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Finally decided to check on this issue. Glad (?) to see I'm not the only one. For now - rather than using a cut-n-paste of the properly formatted coordinates I'm jus searching on my city (not all that big -- so a difference on the search center of about a mile). note: I tried slightly change my home coordinates to see if a new / updated set would not be corrupted - but nope - still happens. Home computer - lap top - Chrome / Edge doesn't matter. Quote Link to comment
+WadeH Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 So, are are the engineers actually working on this, or it is just going to be forgotten about?? Still having the same issues. Quote Link to comment
+Lostboy1966 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Any news? The ability to easily search is why I am a Premium member. Quote Link to comment
Frau Potter Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 The engineers are aware of the issue and we hope for a fix soon. In the meantime, if you want to do a search based on your home location you can just press the green Search button, without adding coordinates. It will return all caches in the world, sorted by distance from your home location (as you put into the settings). You can further refine the search by using the filters. Quote Link to comment
+Lostboy1966 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Looks like it has been resolved. Thank you, engineers! Quote Link to comment

That's what I couldn't do before. But it works now. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
Frau Potter Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 The engineers did some quick work this morning and got this search function working again (no work-around needed)! Quote Link to comment

+pellefans Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Unfortunately this bug still exists if I set my preferences to German! ? Both coordinates get a final "'" and next search doesn't work because it only contains the N coordinate. Cannot be reproduced if I set preferences to English. Chrome 87.0.4280.141 or Edge with Chromium engine 87.0.664.75. Quote Link to comment
+reybr Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 (edited) Any updates to this? It's still happening here (Latest Firefox, but also older versions). At the moment I have to manually change the URL to meet my requirements. My localization is Norwegian and changing to English language fixes to the problem Edited February 22, 2021 by reybr Quote Link to comment
