Looks good roll it out as an option for us Cyclist. I did notice it recognizes a local address more accurately than the other version. I like the option of having the box on the side that allows you to check or not follow roads etc. with out having to go back to map settings. Question? When i save a new ride and i have specified a distance marker of say 5km i pull the map up again and the distance is marked in 1km increments. Just wondering.

Thanks 

Rob

Otherwise, I like it.

I do have a problem that it crashes Firefox 3.0 when I try to undo anything. But even when I've had to fire up IE7 :-( the undo function has been unreliable and doesn't  seem to remove the old lines. The problems might be being caused by Vista as the tool seems more reliable when I use my older XP laptop. The update when it draws the lines along roads takes a few seconds which seems a little slow, which surpised me as the laptop is new with a middle of the road intel dual core cpu. don't know if this more of an issue with Vista/Java.

on the whole I've found it a useful tool

During the winter I work out pretty much indoors only, I use my 305 with the speed / cadence sensor but this won't upload, in fact workouts where I have GPS turned off don't even turn up in the list of availible workouts to import!

If this could be fixed i'd really really really really really appreicate it :oD

 I suggest you delay implementation until these time consuming user-unfriendly bugs can be addressed.

 This mapping utility is alpha at best. I blew a couple of hours trying to map a ride with auto + notes. Didn't work and had to trash the whole thing.

Anyways, I need some help.. I've been using mapmyrun.com for over 2 years now. For the most part, I have found it to be fairly accurate and realistic with my times. The most I would guess it to be off is by maybe .1 of a mile or something.  Well, on Sunday I finally got to run outside after not being able to for atleast a month or two. I've been running a little bit on a treadmill 1-3 times a week, but also I do tons of other cardio, weights, yoga, etc. to keep in shape.   Anyways, I timed my run with my sports watch and it took me 25 minutes and 57 seconds. I figured at the pace I felt I was going, I maybe got 3 miles in... possibly 3.1 if i was lucky. Well, I almost crapped my pants when I mapped the run and it said like 3.85 miles. I figured I must have made a mistake and so I went back and used the old mapping tool to map it......came out the same almost, 3.85 miles. Finally, I did it the third time and it came out the same. I'm really confused here because there is no way in heck I ran 3.85 miles in less than 26 minutes. SERIOUSLY, I have never even run a mile at that kinda pace, which was coming out at like 6:45 or so.  I'm still boggled about what could have happened. I did run a different route than usual, but it still included most of the streets I always do. Does anyone know how it could have ended up so off?

Sorry this is so long!

There seems to be some memory leak in IE7: the response time of the map is extremely slow and the Private Memory climbs consistently: I killed the process when it reached around 300Mb. In Flock (Firefox 3.0 implementation), there's no leak and the response time is much better.

However, even in Flock, I notice that performance is buggy. Response times for longer routes are slow when editing the route and there is some random behaviour with the cursor moving a point other than the one you clicked on.

 Finally, I notice that when you upload from a Garmin, you can't just edit the route directly. You have to save it first, then edit it and re-save it. Annoying.

Even with the clutter of the adverts, the buggy mapping and the poor performance I'll stick with the site because it's better than all the others that I've tried. Maybe when these bugs are fixed I'll consider a "Premium" membership.

The new features (such as adding points between points) are great, but they're pretty pointless if you can't save the result.

 I've tried in multiple browsers (IE8, IE8 in compatibility mode, Firefox 3, Firefox 3.1 beta and Opera 9.5) on multiple (win XP) computers, and all behave the same.

 I noticed something unusual when logging a run using a route I had previously saved. When I entered my time and clicked "re-calculate", the kcal field was populated. When I reduced the time for the route (i.e. I ran faster), and clicked "re-calculate" the kcal value went down.

 There must be an issue in the formula, as the time decreases for a set distance, the pace increase and the work performed increases. Unfortunately, this probably means that all logged records will need to be recalculated once this fixed. 

 Thanks for the tool.

 Cheers.

 The error console lets you open some code, and highlights the line:

function exportCRS(){var intMinutes=parseInt($("#txtCrsPaceMinute").val());var intSeconds=parseInt($("#txtCrsPaceSecond").val());var strFileType=$("#lstFileType").val();var intTotalSeconds=intMinutes*60+intSeconds;if(MapSettings.km){totalSec*=1.609344;}

 I will now try it in Internet Explorer.

Error: reference to undefined property "totalSec"
 (then it gives the link to the source file)

 Line: 270

Char: 234

Error: Object expected

code:0

Then gives the URL.

1) It seems to at times in the mapping map a triangle and you have to undo 3-6 times to get back to the previous point and try again.  This happens when you click around a corner going form one road to the next.  It really is a pain in the butt.  I don;t ever remember this happening in the old tool.

2) I mapped a 12 mile loop, I added some notes to the starting point, more details on the place to start, etc.  Then mapped the first mile or so not following roads as it was on a bike patch next to a highway.  After that I followed the highway for a bit and then had to manually turn off the follow roads again to get to the road (from the bike path).  At this point I added a note and continued on mapping following roads.  I had the issue described above several times.  I then chnged the marker for the end of the route to and End and added some comment to the note.   Everthying looked great so I saved the route.  Now I open it and there are tripples of the manually added note and the end stop note.  I edit, delete them, save and go to print and now it skips the first note, has the triples agian, etc - what a pain in the butt!  I'm really pissed I spent an hour plus on a 12 mile route and it's hosed!!!  You guys need to get it together soon.

Here is the route in Question http://www.mapmyride.com/route/us/WI/Middleton%2C%20WI/658123716225190423

However, I can't see that anybody else has commented on the two points I'd like to make, so here goes.

1: Really annoying.  The kilometer elevation now seems to only display in 1.5 k breaks.  Not at all helpful when I plan my running according to 1k sections.

2: If I am adjusting a run, sometimes the markers suddenly fly off to some point miles away.  Its bizarre.  I can't make it happen and can't say why or when it happens, but usually I have to start all over again to corect it.

Otherwise, thanks, and keep up the good work!

I have tried in several other location outside Japan and there everything works just fine, so the problem does not lay on my side.

Thanks!

Having a hand-cursor makes it very hard to accurately plot a route. What was wrong with the old mapping tool... it worked just fine!

Is it possible to make it for those of us that want the old cross-hair cursor to be able to set that in the settings / options somehow?

1 -  The calculator will sometimes not show calories burned.  Nothing consistent or predictable.   

2 - If I enter a number of laps that says for instance; 1.5, and try to save, I get a message saying, "Cannot Submit This Form, Please fix following:  Please enter only digits."  If I then enter a different number it throws off my distance, average speed and pace numbers.  I'm not an elite by any measure, but, I like to keep track of this info to track my progress. 

 Sounds trivial, but if I do more that a complete lap of whatever map, I'd like to indicate the true mileage and stats rather than either over or under report my them. 

Unfortunately, the Auto "cue" sheets with the follows roads is very erroneous - missing some turns and giving the wrong direction on other turns making the cue sheets worthless.  The distance tracking, elevation and map generation however seem to work fine.  I'm happy to send you examples if you tell me where to send them.

I can not download elevation data. The follwoing error occurs:{"result":{"status":0,"output":null,"error":"There is 1 error: Invalid API Key; "}}

 Very annoying! I wanted to compare two routes elevation profile but I am unable to do so due to the error above.

Any ideas why this is happening now?

Deleted cookies, restarted browser nothing works.

An Unknown error occured with our Elevation Provider and we are unable to display Elevation. Please try again later...

when looking at or creating maps for my homestate of Alaska. It works fine when I choose a ride in Seattle. Is this an issue with lack of elevation data for Alaska? 

Yesterday I ran a 10K race, and just now I copied the course map into a MapMyRun route. Except instead of 6.2 miles it's showing up as 6.4 miles. Has anyone else had this happen? Could it just be a case of using straight lines to map out curved roads and all of the little extra distances adding up? Or something else? I think I noticed this once before when I mapped out another race earlier this year or last year.

Thanks.

Let me see if I can get some answers to your questions:

widby) you're correct -- in various parts of the world we have limited data. You're probably in a dead zone.  We're looking for more providers to get us the detail we need for users such as yourself!

ishell1) when you say you copied it, do you mean by hand? if you zoom in close enough you can get the corners and turns just right.  Also, if you are climbing a lot of elevation, that could impact distance as well.  Official Race measurements are usually taken from the inside corner to turns and usually make as close to an equal angle as possible.

chimene / 2bad) can you send a screenshot to support@mmf.zendesk.com with your browser details? That will help us greatly so we can get this resolved asap!

For the others -- we're working hard to stay on top of all these issues so I thank you for your patience.  I really do ... This site wouldn't be here without you so let me rally my team on getting this on the priority list.  The best thing for people to do is to take a screenshot and send it along with a description of the problem and your operatin system / browser to support@mmf.zendesk.com.  For a lot of these problems we have problems replicating them due to the massive possibility of browser, security settings, etc. so it'll help us a lot!

1- I saw today for the first time chimene's problem with blacked-out map scaling gadget.  This two-inch rectangle shows its normal cross hatched scale tool detail, but it's behind a dark gray but not quite opaque scrim, and cannot be clicked or selected.   Sorry, I cleared the symptom (by restarting MMR) before reviewing this topic and seeing your screenshot request.  If it recurs, I'll forward one. 

2- When logging a ride as my workout, the [Add New Workout] dialog screens ask for and collect details (workout type and description, start and end times, # laps, etc), then calculate some values (speed, pace, calories).  Then I press [Add Workout], and get an error msg "Enter only digits".  The dialog now shows the calculated kcalories value inverted (with a minus sign) and its  box now with red boundary to show it is the offending field.  For some reason, the calculated value is set to negative just as the Save Workout command is activated.  I can easily edit this input field, removing the minus sign, and [Add Workoout] once again, this time successfully. 

System: Vista Home Premium,   Firefox 3.0.5.  

Add one more vote to the requests above for the mouse pointer to be a cross-hair when in map-edit mode, as the hand-shape mouse pointer is not fine enough. 

It is a crapshoot whether or not I can get the site to work.

Typically when I get loading issues, I restart browser, delete all cookies and temp internet files and change security settings to med low-

STILL only a 50/50 chance I get on. Today for instance I can view my saved runs, but if I attempt to edit, the only function that works is the undo function or clear. I can NOT edit the route and if I attempt to search, it freezes up.

I love the ida of this site, but quite honestly, it just doesnt work that well.

I never have these issues on usatf.org and their mapping feature is also supported by googlemaps.

I understand that advertising pays the bills, but the pop ups are making the site unusable.

Please fix the auto routing feature!!!
