Issues with GC.com on phone

[+Charlie_Towlson]

When accessing GC.com on the laptop all is fine.

 

When attempting to access it on the phone (old phone 5c running safari) there are all sorts of issues.

1) when trying to open map it gives an error "chunkloaderror" and doesn't open

2) on most pages it doesn't display personal navigation (i.e. profile and options)

3) the only way I can access any map is by doing so through PQs, when done like that and tap on a cache, I get the waiting signal which then disappears. Doesn't name the cache or bring up any info.

 

I have to resort to doing a PQ of the 10 nearest, otherwise I have to scroll through possibly 100s of caches to find the one I actually want.

 

Anyone else having these errors or know of a solution?

What happens if you open https://www.geocaching.com/map instead of https://www.geocaching.com/play/map

It opens up the map as if I'd done it through PQ, but still got problem 3 on that screen.

In this case the map is not compatible with your old Safari browser. If you have PGC membership you can try https://project-gc.com/Tools/LiveMap

Might be worth trying another browser on your phone.

Yes that was suggested to me. Just one small snag, I tried to load other browsers and they all kinda laughed at my phone :-(

That works! Its very slow, but the most important thing is it gets me the info I require, many thanks.

Try limiting visible caches to minimum if possible

Time for a new iPhone. I had an old iPhone 5  about 3 years ago. It wore out then. The oldest they had at the Apple Store then was a 7. They are now up to iPhone 13s.
