I'm trying to do a (simple) Map Compare between a friend and me.

But the map doesn't even show up -- only an empty rectangle. With 0 caches.

Is this feature broken?

Map Compare works as it should for me. Could you share some more details? What filters are you using etc? Even if my test worked there could be a bug or something that's wrong with your search.

Found the problem. Map compare does not like the centre coordinates you used, using dd mm format. If you use dd mm.mmm it works fine.

You should use: N 52° 10.000 E 05° 10.000 rather than N 52° 10 E 05° 10

Whaaaaat! That works now! Thanks a million!

I thought this feature had been broken for years... (it worked before with shorthand coords!!)

That did not work, unfortunately.
Tried with Firefox and Chrome.
