+noncentric Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Not seeing this reported before, so hoping this isn't a repeat. Premium-only caches have a circular border when viewing caches via "Play -> View Geocache Map". Caches available to basic members are shown with a square border. However, when viewing search results on the map, the premium-only caches lack a circular border. All cache icons shown in search results have square borders. It is not possible to identify PMO caches on the map if using Search. I see the same behavior with both IE v11 and Firefox v43. The image below shows the difference, with a red box around the PMO caches. The left-side is from "Play -> View Geocache Map" while the right-side is from Search 'Map These Results'.

+noncentric Posted January 14, 2016 Author Share Posted January 14, 2016 Bump. Curious if GS has noted this bug and/or whether this is on their to-do list. Quote Link to comment
Moun10Bike Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 This is a technical limitation of the current implementation. We plan to correct this when we overhaul the map and integrate it with search filters, et al. Quote Link to comment
+MartyBartfast Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 when we overhaul the map and integrate it with search filters, et al. I think a LOT of people have been hoping/waiting for this, do you have an ETA? I wouldn't expect anything too specific, but this quarter, next, next year,... ? Quote Link to comment
+HHL Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 (edited) [...] when we overhaul the map and integrate it with search filters, et al. The map on the right hand side in post #1 **IS** the result of a NewSearch. There is no need to implement filters as we just had filtered beforehand. What we actually need is a GPX button or an Add to Bookmarklist button on that map (... and on the result list as well.) Hans Edited January 15, 2016 by HHL Quote Link to comment
+noncentric Posted May 17, 2016 Author Share Posted May 17, 2016 It's been a few months, so just wondering if there were any updates or a possible ETA on fixing this? Quote Link to comment
Moun10Bike Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 No updates at this time. This is still in our plans. Quote Link to comment
+noncentric Posted April 12, 2017 Author Share Posted April 12, 2017 (edited) No updates at this time. This is still in our plans. The December 5th, 2016 Release Notes thread saw several forum posters unhappy with the loss of a PMO cache identifier on the geocaching map. Will there be any changes to the map to bring back the ability to distinguish PMO caches from non-PMO caches on the map, without having to open each cache page individually? If there's no way to identify PMO caches on the map, then could GS at least add a toggle in the Filters pane so users can toggle on/off PMO caches. I know this can be done via Search, so I'm asking specifically in regards to the Browsing Map. Edited April 12, 2017 by noncentric Quote Link to comment
