GC.com has another new map and it’s crap. It has a hand curser that when you try to click on a cache icon to see the info, it blows up the map half the time. Evil or Very Mad

This is VERY frustrating. There are also less map options.

It doesn't matter if I use Google or Leaflet - neither one is showing any caches if I look at the general map, and I haven't monkeyed with any of the settings to turn things I can see off or on. It does show me what caches were returned with a PQ, but I sometimes like to see if there's any nearby caches at the edges of my PQ (I hate to go to a park and find a cache, then find out I missed one 0.10 miles away in the same park because it was just outside my PQ radius).

Finally google maps "ALMOST" once again work for me! My premium membership renewal was and still is under consideration. Very Happy

Just one question on Google Maps - why do we, here in the Twin Cities, need to know 94 and 394 is US Route 12 in Idaho?

I didn't realize the map labeling Minneapolis as Idaho... I sort of blame myself then, it is probably just a subtle reminder from Google that I still need to fill in Idaho. Go west young man... go west.

OK, tell me if I'm doing something wrong. If I call up a cache page, any page, there are links to about 8 different map pages. Google, bing, open street, etc. I always click on the first one, geocaching.com map, and all the other caches in the area show up. If I click on any of the other maps, only the one cache shows up.

Is this what everyone else sees, or I am I doing something wrong. Google maps used to do the same, but doesn't anymore, but is there a setting to change to allow it to do that again. I very seldom look at any other map other than the top one on the list.
