I think it's kind of s***y, we pay the same price membership as the americans, we should be able to see the maps too.

Hello,

 

Rather than having folks cussing here in the Getting Started forum, permit me to direct you to the many existing topics which discuss map functionalities outside the U.S., found over in the Geocaching.com forum. The most relevant thread is this one from April where Jeremy had hoped to launch the maps, but people pointed out flaws in an outdated map set which caused the project to be put on hold. In later threads you'd see that the map vendor has not been very responsive to repeated follow up inquiries on this topic.

Keystone Approver is right, it's no use to cuss it here rather than discuss it in appropriate threads. Anyway, I fully agree with you that whatever features come with paying the membership fee, should be the same for everyone who have decided to pony up some $$ for the service. (Not sure if mapping services are better in premium membership than in regular.)
