Geocaching Map Enhancements
This script aims to improve your experience of Geocaching Maps by adding and improving lots of features.
It enhances the main map page by giving a choice of map and aerial photography sources, adding a tool to show helpful information about the area, enabling drag-n-drop support, improving the search function and letting you label the caches on the map. There are also improvements to the "hide & seek a cache" page, the trackables maps, and the maps on the individual cache listings. The full feature list is too long for this page!
To take advantage of GME, make sure that you have set your Geocaching Map preferences to use Leaflet Maps rather than Google.
