I've had too many problems with GC.com maps and have frequently seen
missing caches on the map (not just now). I can always visualize them
by hitting identify and looking at the numbers. What a hassle and I
never really liked Buxley's either.
That's why now I do all of my map visualization using mapping software.
I use Mapsource (which came with my GPS). I can easily see
everything, zoom, pan on the fly, etc. I know many of the cachers on
the list use other (better) mapping software. Almost any mapping
software is better than GC.com maps(even when the caches show up!)
