The issue I saw is that someone made a custom google map with the cave location and left it public. I use the custom maps for work or caving trips all the time. The key is to make them private. You can still share the maps but your locations and what not will not show up for the public to see. The quickest resolution might be to find the map owner (Bill is on it) and get them to make the map private.
