Not sure if anyone else is having this problem but recently when I bring up a cache page from GC.com the maps are not showing up like they used to. You know the little maps by the coordinates and also the bigger map that is displayed below the decrypt alphabet. I asked this same question on the Groundspeak forums but couldn't get a definative answer. Any suggestions as to why they are not showing and how I can get them back. Thanks Haffy
I can see the larger map at the middle of the page but nothing up by the coords.
Wish I could be more help.:confused:
I don't see any maps or coordinates until I log in then it is all there.
Oops that was for a NY cache.:) Even after logging on the little maps for several Maine caches do not show up while the bigger one near the decrypt info does.:mad: Yet on some other Maine caches both the little and the big map show up.:) Must be something in how they are set up.
Short answer. I don't know.:confused: :confused: :confused:
ummmm.... i've noticed that some maps are different, like some will be mapquest maps, others will be google maps, and some will be those generic ones that only have red and blue lines. I haven't seen any without maps. Maybe the people at groundspeak are just messing with you, or maybe you said somethin to upset them and so now they're just doing it to irritate you... :D :D :D
Nope that can't be it,cause I am logged in and they still don't show. For instance can anyone else see a map on this new cache listing? http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache...8-0dc3d81b6db1Quote:

I can see that map, but it takes a while to load (on a cable modem). The whole page loads, and I get a black outline box, but no map. My progress bar on the browser still shows downloading, then after a minute, I get the map. (Haffy, hope you plan on gettin' up early tomorrow, I'm heading up there:D )Quote:

Been using IE for years with no problem until just recently with the no show maps.
Andy it's only 15 minutes from my house......:DQuote:

i'm not seeing the little map that is usually up by the name, but i am seeing the big blue one that they use when a cache is first published.
Change to Firefox! LOL! :p :pQuote:

I am seeing the maps. You have to wait until the status bar at the bottom of the browsers says "Done". Then the map should show up. I am on DSL and sometimes it takes a while for the map to show up. I think it is because of the way GC is retrieving the map.
Maps? Why not just use your GPSr? Much better for finding caches than maps:D .
I too only get the map on the lower right of the page, Adjacent to the cache description. The one that use to appear under the coordinates is now only a link to the map that once was there.
Sorry Andy I was there around 7:45 or so and I drive a little red GEO of course.Quote:
