Browse map function

[+wammes90]

Since yesterday, when I open the View Browse map function in Edge I draw a blank. In Chrome this works just fine. 

Is this an Edge problem or what else could cause this?

I have this same problem in Firefox, Edge and Chrome.  Opening the map, I get no geocaches showing.

I am on Windows 10, Version 10.0.19045

 

Firefox: 125.0.1
Edge: 124.0.2478.51
Chrome: 124.0.6367.61

 

I have found that if I leave the browser page open for many minutes, at zoom level 11 or less, caches start to populate on the map.  They are unclickable and basically indistinguishable at that map size. 

If the map is left open at higher zoom levels, it seems the caches themselves are not visible but if you hover over a location and there is a cache there, it will eventually appear as it's usual pop up, after 15-20 seconds.

I'm on Chrome and getting no caches on the map either!  Please fix ASAP!!

[+SerenityNow]

Yep, trying on Firefox and also Chrome and no caches populate the map.

The same for me too.  No caches showing when using View Browse Map.  I am using Safari and Chrome.

About a hour ago it worked, but not now.

 

 

I also went onto my iPhone and went to geocache via Safari and as TheTowerOfSong stated, that at different zoom levels it does show up caches.   But when zoomed in those caches disappear. 

 

It appears that this map is now working.  I cam him around 7pm and found that the View Browse Map is working.  Thank you.

I can reproduce the missing caches issue. You can try to allow all cookies in your cookie settings.

Interesting the newer View Map shows all of the geocaches, which is shown below.

 

I would rather look at View Browse Map for locations of Geocaches.  I usually start with View Browse Map.  I will use View Map for trails.

Me too no caches displayed on either map view, and a bunch of server errors on viewing page source

I'll toss my "me too" in as well.

 

I also have had, for a long time now, an issue with "search nearby caches to this cache"...instead of searching nearby that cache, it always goes back to searching near my house.

That is another issue we have in common.  It has been for an issue for at least a few weeks, but I thought it was just me.

I have found you then have to go into the filter and re-apply to actually see caches near the one you had selected.

Having the same problem re browsing the maps. Dont see any caches at all.

Have checked all Cookies are allowed but still no joy..... most irritating yet again.

 

Anyone got a simple answer to this problem please?

 

Thanks

Should have said that we are using Firefox and the GME Map Enhancements to allow OS maps to be displayed. It was working earlier today but stopped working this evening. Have now tried 3 PCs, 2 Laptops and they all do the same since the update to GME Version: 0.8.2.2As.7

 

Thanks

It's not GME related, I use that and the problem exists with or without the extensions enabled.

I'm pretty sure this is a problem at the GS end so unlikely we can do anything to fix it until they sort it out at their end.

Same problem here. Started today with Chrome, Edge and Firefox. No GME in Edge and Chrome.

Looks like it slowly loads the caches at certain zoomlevels, but if I zoom in (or out) they disappear

It's stopped working for me today as well. Hope this gets fixed soon, as the brose map is much more versatile than the search map.

Yes, meanwhile there is a 500 Internal Server Error for all tiles, after a while.

 

[+barefootjeff]

Same for me (Firefox 125.0.1 on Windows 10 with no add-ons and all cookies enabled). The Browse map was working fine yesterday but this morning all the caches have gone away.

[+igator210]

Looks like it has something to do with the load time. If I go to the Browse Map and load a Pocket Query, it will load after awhile. Then when I click a cache, it seems like it won't select it, but after awhile I get the pop up.

It was working find as of yesterday 4pm Eastern. So something after that changed.

[+MartyBartfast]

Working again for me now.

[+wendykmj]

And for us thanks......dont quite know what GS did though?
