Release Notes (Website: Enhanced Search Results)


Recommended Posts

Today I tried to check if there is any caches near Newcaste Beach Park in Seattle. I entered the request to find these caches as usually.

 

https://www.geocaching.com/play/results?st=47.56608037186614,-122.18943742020953&lat=47.56608&lng=-122.189437&r=16&u=metric

 

The website immediatelly redirected the request to this


https://www.geocaching.com/play/results/?st=47.56608037186614%2C-122.18943742020953&ot=coords&asc=true&sort=distance

 

And the result was unusable. It displayed that the nearest cache is over 7000 kilometers away. There is no caches in North America at all?

 

How should I adjust the request to get the correct result?

I suspect you're seeing an effect of a bug that has been acknowledged, but not yet fixed. See this thread in the Website section

I get reasonable results from a search around 47.5295215,-121.857353 but distances offered are from my home coords, so rather far ;-)
