Thanks: 49 times Was thanked: 566 time(s) in 269 post(s)		Hey guys, Does anyone know of a quick and easy way of finding out which parts of rivers/bush have claims on them? Ive followed the link gavin supplied in another topic but i cant seen to zoom in on the map very much which makes it impossible to use,did anyone else find that? Any help would be appreciated as I dont want to be digging around on someones claim that they have payd good money for and may be protective of. Speciffcally if anyone has any good info on the Wakamarina valley that would be cool. Cheers, Mat

Next to the refresh button up by the adress bar is something that looks like a torn page its called compatability view click on that once you are looking at the map and it all works sweet as from ther. Excelent no more sneaking around.

Something Colin suggested a while back ;)

Those bl--dy CM maps never worked for me either. (but I'm only on dial-up anyway, sometimes its slow as hell, and I chew all my fingernails off waiting,--waiting,---etc,etc), (add infinatum). Will try again sometime! when I've got a couple of hours to spare? Again, "Thanks". Cheers---Colin. Edited by user Wednesday, 22 September 2010 3:35:28 PM(UTC) \| Reason: Not specified
