How to set a home screen

[+kenttela]

For the life of me I can't seem to find how to set a home screen on my desktop for geocaching.com. In other words when I first log into geocaching.com the location that appears is not where I want to start every day. I have cleared cookies thinking that would solve the problem, but every day or every time I log in the opening location is 100s of miles away. It is the same location each time, so I'm sure there is some setting that I just can't find.

Thanks for any help.

You've checked your location on your settings to make sure it's where you want it to be? The Chief requires we change our home location on a daily basis, so it's one of the features of the website I use the most.

Thanks. I've done that. I just did it again. I closed Geocacing.com, loaded it again, and ending up in Louisville!! Many miles away from where I am, but at aa different location from where I usually show up.

I've confirmed that you've set your home coordinates to Florida. Can you give more details on what page you are accessing when you say you see it loading miles from the proper location?

When i enter geocaching.com the map takes me to near N 35° 07.791 W 111° 45.495 instead of near N 29° 00.522′ W 80° 58.007′. The latter is what is on the home location of my profile. The link displayed under "Set Map Preferences" is http://coord.info/map?ll=35.127667,-111.752104&z=14 I assume that is what needs to be changed, but it will not change. Or, at least, I can't find where to change it permanently.

I really appreciate the help.

Are you using a saved bookmark link to go to the map, or are you going straight to https://www.geocaching.com/map/?

The above reply gave me the answer. 

I had been going to geocaching.com. I add the /map and all is well. 

 

Thank you do much. I need to pay more attention to URLs.
