+NevaP Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 What has happened to the edit a map ability when setting up a pocket query along a route? I've been doing this for years and once I had the route between city A and city B all I had to do was go to the associated route page, pick up start or end point or the route anywhere along the map and drag it to whatever back roads I was planning to travel. Now I can't seem to change the first route generated. Nothing will pick up. What am I missing? Is there a hidden edit button somewhere now? Quote Link to comment
Moun10Bike Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 This functionality is gone for the time being. When Google updated their API to version 3, it rendered obsolete (and inoperable) the many "hacks" that our developers had used to make editing a route possible. Until we have the time and resources to rebuild that functionality, you will have to create new routes to get your desired adjustments. Quote Link to comment

I loved making routes along back roads. Now it appears I have to do it one teeny segment at a time. Quote Link to comment

I just checked and it looks like only the routes that were created before the Google api update are broken. I just created a new route and was able move the Start/End points as well as drag the route around on the map. Quote Link to comment

Yes, I can edit it by moving the start end points and dragging the route but only on the first screen that comes up. Once I've started a pocket query and I click to go back to the associated route I can't edit anymore. I think you used to be able to go back and edit. So I just have to get my route fixed before I go onto set up the PQ. I can cope. Quote Link to comment
+brenda&&rew Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Creating a new route does not work either. I have been trying this afternoon with no success. All I can do on the map is magnify it with the "grabby hand". It is unfortunate that this option is no longer available. It will make for a very difficult trip planning Quote Link to comment
+Semper Questio Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Interesting. I was just able to create one, change the endpoints, and modify the route...as long as it is all done before it is saved. Quote Link to comment

It will make for a very difficult trip planning It isn't working for me, either. I tried with Firefox and IE, and neither of them are working. I use Windows 7. There are likely lots of potential conflicts with various anti-malware programs and other things. To be honest, I really dislike the new Google Maps. Why is it that companies have to change things that work well, just for the sake of change? Quote Link to comment
+memomls Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 I guess I'm glad to see it wasn't just me......this is so disapointing. Quote Link to comment
+NevaP Posted June 24, 2014 Author Share Posted June 24, 2014 I made a new route just last night and moved things around all over onto different roads than it originally generated between the start and end point. You just have to do this BEFORE you do anything else. Once you click save route it's fixed. Until then, on the very first screen, you can grab the route and drag it just like before.

Do a route along the closest roads (if there are any) and ask for caches in a wide range from the road. You can go up to 10K/6.2 miles. Quote Link to comment

Routing information is only available if someone has taken to the time to create a route between two waypoints. There *are* some routes that follow navigable waterways but they're typically limited to larger ferry routes. Quote Link to comment
Bon Echo Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 I see this issue still persists, eight months on. I just created a route, then created a PQ. And then I noticed a mistake in my route. Now I need to start all over again since I can't just make a small adjustment to the route. Quote Link to comment
