Nitrobug Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 I just got signed in and the site offered to show me caches close to home. It is showing me Salt Lake City and my home is 300 miles away. My profile is showing my correct home but your site wants to show me Salt Lake City. How do I change that? Quote Link to comment
+NYPaddleCacher Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I just got signed in and the site offered to show me caches close to home. It is showing me Salt Lake City and my home is 300 miles away. My profile is showing my correct home but your site wants to show me Salt Lake City. How do I change that? Have you set your home location? You can do that here: Home Location Note, you probably don't want to set it to your exact home. Anyplace nearby will be fine. There are several places where you can search for caches close to home. Which one did you use. There is a "Search for Nearby Geocaches" form on the home page with a "Find my Location". It will use your Home Location (if set) otherwise it will attempt to figure out your location by other means (technically, it uses a Location API). It will often choose a location based on your internet service provider which not be anywhere close to your actual location. The new Search page has the "Nearby Caches with Favorite Points" which also has the same problem? Quote Link to comment
