Map Issues

I've been having problems getting most of the maps to come up. Sometimes it will go to the right zoom, but not show anything. If I click on that map again, the key shows up on the left, but no lines. Anyone else having this problem? Do you find this valuable?

Yeah, I've had the same problem since yesterday. In the meantime, I've given up trying to edit maps that I didn't originally create. (For some reason, my own maps are less buggy to open and edit.) I had to load the Mo Co map in Google Earth to see any of it.

Google Maps does all the map stuff with some pretty complicated Javascript, and I often encounter script relics, bugs, and unresponsiveness. I usually close the tab and start Maps again with a fresh tab, but this technique hasn't worked with the problems described above.

Maybe try another browser?

Trying another browser didn't work; but when I followed the link from the home page for this, that worked. Weird bug. Do you find this valuable?

Your right. Clicking on the link from or mashup map directory worked for me, too.

Maybe it needs to be refreshed? There are so many of these mapplets on my list that I can't get rid of no matter how many times I delete them (i.e. DCist subway).

Well ... I would say that interacting with some maps can be "buggy" at times. There have been a few instances where I began making a change, I made a mistake, and then all hell broke loose. Up to now, I just stopped the process and made sure that no changes were saved. I have a little time this afternoon to give it another stab.

Yeah, the drawing on Google isn't ideal at all. Today I tried drawing some routes in the burbs after a long absence, and I can't figure out how to continue (add to, pick up, extend) a previously drawn route. It used to be an option when you clicked (or right clicked?) on the terminal of a polyline. Do you find this valuable?
