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.

Oh the woes of the short geocacher!

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!
