Mapping Pocket Query No Longer Works Correctly

[+Corfman Clan]

I have a pocket query set up to list unfound geocaches in Arizona. If I click on the "Preview Pocket Query" icon, only unfound geocaches are listed, as expected. If I click on the "Preview in Geocaching Maps" icon, this is not the case. It used to work correctly, but no longer does. I'm not sure when this changed but probably within the past two months.

I have the same problem since a few weeks ago. I have tried on different devices / browsers but the problem is still there. Any solution?

Thanks for the reports.

There are three different places to get to a map preview of a PQ.

So we can better help you, could you post some more detailed step-by-step instructions on how you reproduce the issue?

 

Ideally, these including the setup of the particular Pocket Query and screenshots.

Thanks so much.

I use the link: https://www.geocaching.com/map/default.aspx?pq=WZseG9cLkEe9Isz6mmv5gQ&hash=edc728e0c8ec7a03b17748eb62866847#?ll=50.36697,7.55483&z=14

You can see the result in the screenshot.

I doesn't make a difference if I use any other way to show the PQs in a map.

Hope you find a solution :-)

I've attached what I see when I click on your link as a screenshot below. Without knowing which particular PQ that is, I'd say that's expected? Looks like a sub-selection of caches around Koblenz.

 

Your screenshot however shows a general browse map of the Koblenz area with an overview of all your PQs (compare my left column to yours). There's no PQ selected in your screenshot, hence you will see all caches in the area.

Can you click on the respective PQ in the left column and let me know whether you get the expected result? Thanks.

If I click on the links in the left column, nothing happens.

Your screenshot shows what I always saw before, but since two weeks or so it doesn't work properly...

Interesting, I'm unable to reproduce that with my account or various other Premium accounts that have Pocket Queries.

 

Are you blocking any cookies? Or running any scripts that may interfere?

Could you see whether it works if you're using the Leaflet map tiles instead of the Google Map tiles? There were reports a little while ago where that solved it for people. It'd at least be an interim solution.

 

You can adjust those via this button:

When I use Leaflet, everything is okay!

Changing back to Google Maps, all caches are shown - not only the PQs.

 

Tried the same with MS Edge.

Same problem, changing to Leaflet, everything is okay, changing back to Google Maps and reload, everything is okay, too.

Then I closed Edge, started again and: Now it works!!!

 

Then I closed Firefox (I usually use this browser), started again: No change! Google Maps doesn't show the PQ.

Seems to be a mystery...

[+mrsandman]

Just checked again and without changing anything in my configuration now it works perfect...

 

PROBLEM SOLVED!

[+Bl4ckH4wkGER]

Thanks for keeping us posted and glad it resolved itself.

 

I can share that we didn't do anything on our end, yet. 

 

Overall, it may've just be a case of gremlins in the system

[+Jenni@Alan]

In my case the problem still persists, but it is true that if I change to Leaflet, the PQ map is displayed correctly, not with Google Maps.

[+mrsandman]

What's going on??? The problem is back again!!!

I've been seeing the same thing for the last week or two.  Clicking the map preview on the list of pocket queries page or after creating creating a new one trying to click on the preview on map link.  In both cases I end up with the map showing my home, instead of the specified map area.

I found the workaround to be going to the Browse map and clicking on Pocket Queries in the upper left corner will give you the list of your PQ's and then click on the PQ you want and it seems to work. Although when I was recently trying to get the browse map to work properly I enabled all cookies and it seems to work how it's supposed to.. all these bugs and gremlins lately are getting old...
