I really really hate making maps in Google Maps. It's like the maps creation is designed to piss me off.
I don't make a lot of personal posts so please bear with me.
I don't make a lot of personal posts so please bear with me. #Rufus hasn't been doing well for the past week or so. I mean, he's 13 (at least), and has slowed down due to age, but the past week or two he's been acting like every movement is a Herculean effort. A few times in the past couple of weeks his rear legs have given out on him completely to where I've had to pick him up and carry him which is, in itself, telling. Rufus has always hated being carried and struggled continuously when I did so. Yesterday while petting him I noticed two golf-ball sized things up under his chin. Now, they may be benign lipomas as Rufus is covered with them (one one each thigh, one on each shoulder, one on his chest and a few smaller bumps here and there) or they may be indicative of something else. I'm no vet and aside from emergency medic battlefield training I have no medical experience whatsoever, but these new things seem to be where your or mine lymph nodes are located....

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.
