I really really hate making maps in Google Maps. It's like the maps creation is designed to piss me off.
Fast zombies or slow zombies?

So, Minnesota would rather people not be able to advance themselves without the officiating organization paying a fee, first? Do libraries have to pay a fee to lend books? Do documentaries put together by universities have to pay a fee first? If I move into the state and give away old college text books, do I have to pay a fee first? http://www.forbes.com/sites/evapereira/2012/10/19/minnesota-bans-free-online-education/

A friend emailed me this proposed route for our trip to Telluride this weekend: http://goo.gl/gbNvo
When I go to Save to My Places it does not save anywhere. I have tried 3 times over two days to save it with no success.
Okay, it's not that difficult of a map so I'll just re-create it. So, I draw it out using the line drawing tool that following the roads. Although there are some difficulties with this as Google Maps always wants to choose a route I do not want it to choose I finally get it the way I want. Save. And what happens? All the lines I just painstakingly drew are now straight, ie: not following the roads. And they're all over the place. instead of from point A to Z.
Refresh. Still not following the roads. Log out and in, still not following the roads. So, all my work for nothing I can use. And this happens every. single. time. I try and create a Google Map.
Are you saying that this map (http://goo.gl/gbNvo) is showing straight lines? It looks like they've snapped to the road.
Regarding inability to save the map, our UI has changed a bit, so indulge me here, please. Because this is an older map, it should be bookmarked by date - in this case - Jun 2010. Can you confirm it isn't there? When I saved it, I had to wade through a bunch of other maps to find it. Just want to make sure that it didn't get lost at the bottom of a list.
edit: I have four Maps with June dates and none of them are the one that was sent to me by a friend. I think Curtis Edenfield sees similar problems when trying to save maps.
Joel Headley, here is an URL to the map with the straight lines. http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=216178225411704579963.0004ab5aad1795b0b2519&msa=0 I re-created it twice and both times when I saved the map the lines went from following the roads to straight like this.
We'll work on the straight lines thing.
