+niraD Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 This thread is NOT a duplicate of the others discussing the new icons. This thread is NOT discussing the general aesthetics of the new icons. This thread is a specific bug report about poor accessibility for color blind users (estimated at 8% of men) created by the new cache icons on the geocaching maps. There is no open thread in the Bug Reports forum discussing this specific issue, which I why I opened this thread. Here are examples of the problems created for color blind users by the new map icons: http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=342313 http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=342292&view=findpost&p=5623574 http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=342292&view=findpost&p=5623586 http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=342292&view=findpost&p=5623587 http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=342292&view=findpost&p=5623613 http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=342292&view=findpost&p=5623615 http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=342292&view=findpost&p=5623618 http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=342292&view=findpost&p=5623646 http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=342292&view=findpost&p=5623690 http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=342292&view=findpost&p=5623704 http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=342292&view=findpost&p=5623784 http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=342292&view=findpost&p=5623912 http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=342292&view=findpost&p=5623927 http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=342291&view=findpost&p=5623536 Link to comment
Keystone Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Thank you for collecting those links to posts in other active threads. Geocaching HQ's product owner for the map changes has read those reports/complaints, and has already indicated that they're looking into this issue. Discussion should continue in the open threads, especially the Release Notes. Closing this duplicate discussion. Link to comment
