I am on a cache page (any cache page), and scroll down to online maps. I click on the geocaching.com google map (the top option). I get a grayed out map, with Signal the Frog in a big white square over it. I click the x to get rid of the Signal square. Then I click Back to original maps.
More often than not, I do not get the map of the area of around the cache on the page. I get somewhere called Green Lake, Duck Island. It doesn't look even local.
Can anyone explain why this happens, and how I can get the right map the first time? |

That map is a "Premium Member Only" feature, although that might change soon. The location you are seeing is in Seattle. |

Wait until the Beta map is completely loaded before clicking on Back to Original Maps. |

Is anyone else having a really hard time reading this new map? I have a pretty big monitor and I am young enough to still be blessed with excellent eyesight. I can't read them! I'm looking for caches "up nort" by our land and I can't seem to find it on the map.  I really wish I had coordinates. |

I think this must be it, thanks! I do get the right map sometimes, just not most of the time. I will have to exercise a little patience from now on! |
