Default map settings

[+Huck1974]

Hi there,

 

I like to see the map on geocaching.com as following:

 

- Browse geocaches

- OpenStreetMap Defalult

 

Where can I set it as it starts like this as default ?

And if i can't set it, why it is impossible to set this defaults ?

Dream on. Map changes here are extremely rare.  It's as if nobody wants to touch that code...

On the bottom left there is a big green button for selecting map types. Google or Leaflet

Isn't that what you are looking for?

I think @Huck1974's issue is that the default map tiles are "Geocaching", rather than "OpenStreetMap Default." See the selector on the right side of the map.

Assuming that you are using the Leaflet-based map, here is a bodged-together UserScript that automatically switches to "OpenStreetMap Default" on page load.

 

// ==UserScript==
// @name         Geocaching Map Redirect
// @namespace    http://tampermonkey.net/
// @version      0.1
// @match        https://www.geocaching.com/map/*
// @grant        none
// @run-at       document-start
// ==/UserScript==

(function() {
    var x;

    const SET_OSM = function() {
        console.log("Attempting to set OSM...");

        const OSM_RADIO_BTN = document.querySelectorAll("form.leaflet-control-layers-list div label input")[1];
        if (OSM_RADIO_BTN) {
            OSM_RADIO_BTN.click();

            clearInterval(x);
        }
    }

    x = setInterval(SET_OSM, 500);
})();

Right, that's what I would like !

I am using the Leaflet-based map, so I will try you script !

And once again, Thank you Hügh !

Curious... 

 

Has anybody managed to script-hack the great new CyclOSM map into that list?

 

If I was still bothering to suggest improvements, that would be my number-one.  (To see that map albeit without caches, click the never-used OpenStreetMap link on a cache page, tap the layers icon near the top-right corner, and select CyclOSM.)

Something like that ... 🤭

You can do it also with script GClh. See my signature.

Cool! 

 

Nice touch, pre-setting the example to my home city.

 

And you even kept everybody's favorite, Stamen Toner, in the list too.

 This is really annoying. I used to be able to set a default. After the last Maps change or layout change if you will I can no longer set a default. I want mine set to Satellite view from google. I am legally blind and the harsh white really HURTS my eyes. I wish Groundspeak would at least TRY to follow ADA guidelines because I have a true struggle trying to use the website. This is one of the main reasons I only use Cachly and not the Groundspeak App because Cachly has a Dark mode on their App. 😠

That is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much!
