Search for coordinates in Live map.

Tue, 15 Jun 2021 09:54:54 +0000

In the Live map there is a search function and you can read in the info that a gccode search might come in the future. I think that it would be nice to be able to search for coordinates and have the live map center on that coordinates.

Auto complete of location for center/radius filter not working

Fri, 07 Sep 2018 10:12:17 +0000

Hi,

not sure if this is a config error in my browser or a bug:

When I used the "center/radius" filter e.g. on "Most favorite points" search in former times, it used to have an autocomplete/suggestion function (I guess based on Google).

This recently stopped working for me. Now I have the problem, that due to this the search often returns empty results (due to the location not beeing found). This e.g. happens for the location "Quebec".

Can someone reproduce or explain?

Regards,

map compare with POI as center location doesn't find anything

Tue, 29 May 2018 14:51:26 +0000

Using Map Compare, I sometimes use its attribute "Center Location" with a radius. I now found out, that when the named Center (typing will find it) is not a city or the like, but a POI, I get no caches then. Using the city nearby presents a lot of caches.

Example (by typing the location into the adequate field):

Call "Map Compare" from menu, fill "Profile Name" adequately, Cache location's Country (i.e Germany)
Select "Show: None found, One found"

Add Filter "Center/radius (km)", fill "Radius" e.g. 50

Fill "Center" with "Boglerhaus...." (Rest will be provided) --> press "Filter"; Result "0 Cache...." (in two lines)

Fill "Center" again now with "Friedrich-Bogler-Straße..." (Rest will be provided) [this is the street where Boglerhaus is located :-] )

--> press "Filter"; Result "many caches"

Any idea?

Is there an issue with the live map regarding the search?

I don't get any results/suggestions while typing an address in the search field of the live-map. The searching-icon just turns around and around.

live map@tablet/chrome browser : search location gadget doesn't propose anything

Thu, 13 Jul 2017 20:02:58 +0000

When checking a (for me) new location, I often use the great tool "live map" and this on different environments, means PC and tablet (android).

Through this I found out, that the magnifyer icon (to find a location by name and navigate there, then) does not work on Chrome Browser on my tablet.

While in any other environment typing into the text field - after a little time of being busy - results in a list of proposed locations, in my chrome browser, typing only activates the busy mode (the rolling circle). This state never ends!
