What do you dislike? I have found it to be the most usable maps site for me but I often feel like the routes it chooses aren't the most direct or best route.
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.
For example, you've already seen the original map and how it was supposed to look: this is what it looks like after I save it: http://goo.gl/SSTuV <== very. friggin. annoying!
Thanks for the reply, Joel Headley. No, that's the original map I can't SAVE to my maps/places. While trying to just manually re-create that map using the follow the road lines I get this after saving: http://goo.gl/SSTuV . Before saving it looks very similar to the original map I can't save.
Ah - two different problems. OK - so we're looking at the straight lines thing now. I didn't notice that screenshot previously (sorry). Can you point me to the map URL so we have another example for the team?
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.
Let me double check, but I looked through them last night all the way back to March looking for one titled Telluride.
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.
Are you a terrorist? http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/saudi-arabia-declares-all-atheists-are-terrorists-in-new-law-to-crack-down-on-political-dissidents-9228389.html
Of the two of them, we now know which one Vlad "the Mad" Putin believes is the girl in their relationship. For a "macho macho man" like #DonaldTrump that's going to hurt. #TrumpNation http://www.denverpost.com/2017/09/05/vladmir-putin-donald-trump/

Are you saying that this map (http://goo.gl/gbNvo) is showing straight lines? It looks like they've snapped to the road.

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.
