I hope you can get it fixed before I find another site that works as well as yours used to.

Best wishes.

In addition to echoing the tedium associated with the notes popping up that others have mentioned, I'd like to mention that the road notes that sum up the route I mapped (the ones that say Right on __ road, Left of __ road, etc.) are incorrect in that they say Right when it should be Left, and Left when it should be Right.  I was staying in a hotel in an unfamiliar area and was mapping out a new route.  This really messed me up, as I just jotted down the turns instead of printing out the map (from reading these comments it seems I couldn't have anyways), and there were a few wrong turns, taking me out of my way, and making me ask directions from dogwalkers.  Did I mention I was in an unfamiliar area?  I was lost when I shouldn't have been-- since I was diligent and mapped it out first!  The url of the map is below.

I created the map two days ago, but just checked the map again, and it's still wrong.  Hopefully you can fix the wrong turns?

I agree completely. Love the auto notes, but not always. Just add a nested checkbox below "Follow roads" to disable auto notes.

Hey, now there is a delete link on each note - Thanks! But shouldn't I only be able to delete notes when I create or update a route? I see the "delete" link when I'm viewing a route.

And thank you very much for the mile marker controls!

I'd like to mention that the road notes that sum up the route I mapped (the ones that say Right on __ road, Left of __ road, etc.) are incorrect in that they say Right when it should be Left, and Left when it should be Right.

Maybe it's a feature:

Auto Notes                                     Yes                            Yes

Correct Auto Notes                        No                             Yes

    (sorry, I couldn't resist)

LaBaum: I posted elsewhere: "The symptoms you describe aren't related to the new site. It's simply because you're clicking on intersections which you should never do when in the follow roads mode. Always click on the road after the intersection you go through, not right at the intersection. When you click right on the intersection the program doesn't know exactly which street you intend to be on so when you intend to go straight but click slightly to the right it will do a right, a U, and another right; or worse when you plan to go RIGHT and click just a foot past the intersection it will go straight, make a U, and go LEFT. So never click on the intersection; click on the road segment you want to be on past the intersection.

"This behavior has always been there, and is a perfectly logical interpretation of what you mean when you click at an intersection. All the sites that use the "follow roads" methodology have this behavior."

It's a matter of learning how to use this tool. Kind of like using a hammer - you have to figure out which end to hit the nail with. Except this one isn't as intuitive.

Follow Roads / Auto-Routing: Yes

Automatic Notes (with Follow Roads): Yes

 The first turn on Bo Howard Road should be right not left.

 What's with all the pop ups over the maps too...very annoying.

The list continues....but I've already spent way too much time on this site tonight.  Frustrating!

With regard to the premium membership debate, I haven't yet found a reason that would make it worth my $48 to jump up to that. The only thing that I see that I use that is on the list of Premium membership features is the Distance by Activity report and so far, that is still working for me as a standard member.

Everyone should see the new options in the Map Settings panel:

Follow Roads / Auto-Routing: Yes

Automatic Notes (with Follow Roads): Yes 

Thanks Kevin!
