Thx for answer

Northern Ireland should be gray on Ireland map

Fri, 18 Dec 2015 19:22:34 +0000

Hi all,

Just a minor issue in the maps: Now that Northern Ireland is again counted as part of the UK on the map of Europe, it should be rendered gray on the map of Ireland... I know the topic is complex due to the Groundspeak specific geography, but this would at least remove inconsistency.

thanks,

Thomas

Northern Ireland is not green on my maps anymore!?

I already cached in Ireland and the UK. Until a few weeks ago when I last checked my maps on my Statistic profile the complete island of Ireland and the UK were green.

But now Northern Ireland is suddenly white again. I didn't actually do a cache in the North of Ireland but before it belonged to the UK.

So I checked the profile of another cacher who did several caches in Ulster, Ireland and it is white on his map as well.

So I guess it might be a problem with some of the latest polygon updates?

Otherwise where do I have to log a cache to get this area green again?

Did Northern Ireland vote for independence lately? ;-)

I learned, that Project GC relies on how Groundspeak defines countries for consistency reasons, which is great.

And on the face of this I also learned, that Groundspeak defines Northern Ireland as an independent country (and not part of the UK), when I spotted this little white on my Map of Europe today. ;-)

I just found a JPEG in my archive of this Map of Europe from 2015-08 which I downloaded ... and by that time the whole of the UK was coloured in green, including Norther Ireland ... and today it's white.

Did the guys from GC.com change anything lately or did I miss any info that Belfast & Co. recently became independent!? ;-)

All best,
Dirk.

PS: Well, it would be quite a tough job to get to Belfast...
