Description of problem Can’t see maps in the past few days. I’m in China and using VPN. Nothing changes after I change other VPN/ computers
I tried 3 different ones. I think someone made some changes to the map system. Before when I select “China” in the filter it would include area around China. Now it only shows mainland China.
I see this now if I choose China in main location chooser (and see contour in place chooser).
That is weird, maybe it is because something was changed in coding.
go to a page where you’re seeing missing maps, open your browser’s developer tools, and go to the network section. reload the page, and see if anything is being logged in red in either network or console.
I’m right nearby in northern Vietnam and there are no problems viewing maps and/or observations in China with or without a VPN.
None of my VPNs have China as an option, so I can’t try it that way.
Have you tried using a different browser from your primary one? Often I’ll find chat Chrome gets buggy and messes up certain websites. I kept getting error messages on the USGS/EROS website in Chome and was unable to login, but there were no problems at all doing so via Firefox.
I tried Chrome, IE, Edge, QQ, and Firefox. All 5 of them have the same problem. I’ll try a different Internet service provider tomorrow and see if anything changes
