I've noticed something odd while using Live Map and puzzles/multi's with corrected coordinates. I don't know if it's a Groundspeak API limitation or a bug in Locus.
- I had solved a puzzle cache and updated the coordinates on the web site.
- The solved coordinates were a significant distance away from the original posted coordinates.
- I was only using Live Map with Locus. The cache was not stored offline.
- On the Locus map screen, the cache icon does not show on the map. See screenshot #1. The solved cache icon should be where the center crosshair is.
- If I zoom out so that the map screen now includes the original posted coordinates and the corrected location, the cache icon now appears in the corrected location. In screenshot #2, the cache now shows just below the center crosshair.
Is this a Locus bug, or just a limitation of the Groundspeak API?
Good day John,
cannot say personally for sure, because Locus Map itself does not download caches (it is more question to @Arcao), anyway from what I know, simple request on geocaching.com web site always work with original coordinates. So simply: place with original coordinates needs to be on map, till Geocaching4Locus is able to discover, that cache has corrected coordinates. One of many problems of Groundspeak API.
Thanks for the reply. I have emailed Geocaching4Locus for their attention. I suspect that a recent change to the API may have triggered this problem.
