Queries not opening in Google Maps
I'm having trouble getting a map view of the caches in my queries. I have a query for all the caches in Texas. I can run it okay, but when I click the link to download to Google Maps (either one page or all pages), I get the following message on the Maps page: http://www.opencaching.us/s... could not be displayed because it is not a valid KML or KMZ file. I get this message in Chrome and in Firefox.

Re: Queries not opening in Google Maps
I just tried it for the first time and it worked fine - except the I see more than the search results. I get things that have been filtered out of the search. I actually like it better than the OCUC native maps - I can see the icons better.
Anyone else have any problems?
Jerry?

I'll try it from home this evening. Maybe it's a firewall thing at work??

I recall where I reported this to Rvrt before. (On my iPhone and can't find the thread right now.)NativTxn wrote:I'll try it from home this evening. Maybe it's a firewall thing at work??
My memory was Rvrt was gonna look into it.

Re: Queries not opening in Google Maps
I did a query for all of Texas and clicked "GoogleMaps" and it opened a new Firefox tab and displayed the Google map with all the caches for the query. I clicked on "KML" and it launched Google earth on my machine and displayed everything just fine.
Re: Queries not opening in Google Maps
Hmm... Works that way for me now too. The dev team must have fixed the kml issue when they fixed the previously confusing wording to "from this page" & "from all pages". Can't remember what it said before but the query page definitely got upgraded. I musta missed the memo.RVRoadTrip wrote:I did a query for all of Texas and clicked "GoogleMaps" and it opened a new Firefox tab and displayed the Google map with all the caches for the query.

Re: Queries not opening in Google Maps
What about filtering? When I filtered my search to ignore inactive, found, owned, etc, they still all showed up on the map.
Re: Queries not opening in Google Maps
I checked from home and I'm still getting the error when trying to view the query results on Google Maps.
Re: Queries not opening in Google Maps
Both open fine for me. Same thing as DG though, maps shows all caches regardless if they were filtered or not. Earth seems just fine.

A little off topic, but I like Earth, too. Though, it is the only planet I've been to.glorkar wrote:Earth seems just fine.
