To make a site user friendly, usable and readable, you should foresee whitespace and not try to squeeze as much information together as possible. However, in some cases you mention, whitespace is indeed exaggerated it is relevant. Nevertheless, I think the look&feel and the navigation of the geocaching.com site could be majorly improved. For a first-time user it takes ages to find out about pocket queries or to find back which trackables you have in your inventory, just because they are way deep in the navigation/site. I guess the idea about the site change is like Capitaine Igloo mentions. They are probably changing the architecture of the site to add improvements a lot easier in the future. Nice blogpost/blog!

This cache is in a forested area, and Google maps don't display the street view there yet...thus we're not for sure how he detected it. He pronounced it took twenty minutes from when he departed his auto. It's only a minute or two walk, if you know where it is.

So they probably changed fundamentally the way their dynamic HTML are compiled and generated. They tried to reproduced the existing web site with their new engine. And it failed.
