Non-owner symbol on Google map

Post by kennythe1st » 14 December 10 5:28 pm

Just looking for caches near one of mine (Sylvan Waters GA1809) and noticed it is showing on Google Maps as yellow with an asterisk rather than blue with an O for Owner. Couldn't see any reason for this within the listing. Then I couldn't locate the symbol meanings so am asking is it correct as displayed?

Thx, Kenny

That's the symbol that comes up when it's the cache you opened the map for....

I was nearly going to respond that I didn't open that cache listing. But I saved myself from embarassment :oops: by remembering that I select my own or planned caches as a quick way of getting to a sought area to view on a Google map.

Thanks Cached.
