+wozainali 1 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Is it just me, or is the link to streetmap.co.uk broken? When I open a cache listing, then click on the link for online maps to Streetmap.co.uk, I get the message "404 Error for /newmap.srf " I can open streetmap in a separate tab and enter coordinates and all is well, so it looks like some problem with the link from geocaching.com Quote Link to post

+wozainali 1 Posted April 1 Author Share Posted April 1 Having dug into this a little, the recommended formats for Streetmap are listed here: https://www.streetmap.co.uk/idlinkto.htm I've tried out UK Grid format and that works. The "newmap.srf" or "map.srf" format doesn't seem to be listed there, though as gilliwig says, the latter does work. So my guess is that Streetmap have changed something which has broken the geocaching.com link format. Looking online for random searches, many websites seem to use the "newmap.srf" format, and of course they are all broken. Interestingly, Streetmap's own "Contact Us" link is also broken. Apart from writing to their Milton Keynes address, I'm stumped for the moment (no, not a clue to one of my hides ). The performance also seems very slow recently, so something must be going on there. Hope it survives, The OS maps provided by the Streetmap link are much better than the Google ones. 1 Quote Link to post

+pklong 1 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 If it helps anyone, just remove the three letters "new" from the URL in the address bar, hit enter, and it will work fine. Quote Link to post
+The Wombles 0 Posted 16 hours ago Share Posted 16 hours ago This doesn’t work for me. When I attempt to use the Streetmap link from a UK cache page then I get the following error message “404 Error for /newmap.srf” Quote Link to post
