You might have to save that map to the (My Maps) before it shows up on the left side
of the screen. It should be on the top right of the left side pane.
Once you click the edit button there will be some icons at the top of the map
you can drag the blue sperm drop right on to your street if you zoom in close.

Don't ask me! I had a hard enough time swimming out of the OCEAN...... Mostly I just clicked around till I found the right buttons.
Lots of "ID10T" errors when I'm on the computer.

Go up a few posts and it will give you an idea of how I was making out trying to figure the dam thing out.

Hedge's Route 7 ride is now mapped out. I reserve the right to detour if someone comes up with some scenic side roads after Falls Village! :-)

1) click the edit button
2) then click on your blue sperm drop
3) then at the top of the balloon click the blue sperm drop and then a bunch of different
icons drop down.
4) click on the one you want.

Oh my God - I made such a mess of this. I'm gonna delete my Route and try it again. I have to take a closer look and see if you guys are just kinda pin-pointing where you live or if your actually creating the routes you think your gonna take.

Hedge, I actually zoomed in and put the mark on my front walk. You could come straight to my door with it. I didn't post a route because it will be flexible after I pick up rndtaylor in TN.

Ahso - I think I will remove my route until I noodle it a little more with UncleCharlie. He really knows these back country roads well.

JEEZ LOUISE!!!!
First it takes me an hour to create an account, find the damn map, click and drag around randomly until I manage to place myself into the Atlantic Ocean......THEN it takes me a half hour to remember yet another password, find the damn map again to swim OUT of the ocean and properly place myself in Southeast MA ( accidently stumbling upon the green mc icon which has now become so popular- freakin copycats! ;)).....
And now people are PLANNING THEIR ROUTES????
Don't any of us have (non-virtual) LIVES??
