Those Mapquest Maps On Each Cache Page...

[CharlieZulu]

......on new caches, the map often does not appear? Or is it just me?

 

It's often useful when a new cache comes up to get a quick idea of where it is by looking at the Mapquest map.

 

Has anyone else noticed this??

I can take a few days to show up. I think they are batch updated every few days.

The map appears blank, but if you click on the page where the map should be, it usually opens a new window with the MapQuest map.

Or just click the Mapquest link on the left hand side of the page. BTW if you prefer MapPoint the second MapPoint link is the one for Canada. When the Europe MapPoint got added to the page it somehow also got added to Canada. It's the top link and gives just a base map for North America.

Yeah, I've notice the Wacky Maps too.

 

I click on a Mapquest link and sometimes it is a vague grey thing that I can't zoom in or out on.

The other Mapquest link seems to work.

Trouble is, to me I never know which on it is supposed to be.

 

There definitely seems to be a coding/rendering problem when the cache pages are generated.

 

As for the little map that comes with a cache, I notice it too that sometimes it is missing. I thought that when the Cache Description is edited that the map is removed until someone claims a find on it, or maybe just posts a note.

 

I just know, it doesn't seem consistant.

 

But like Dan Aykroyd says in "Rubber Biscuit"..... "Whadda ya want for nuthing?... bow bow bow"
