Hey Google,
Your maps program sucks. This is a problem I've had for quite some time and have even complained (and recieved a "it's a known issue" response) about it on Google+.
This is really friggin annoying. Because the "follow the roads" lines never save along the roads, instead saving as straight lines as shown below. I have once again just wasted hours of work documenting routes on Google Maps to have the maps become totally utterly useless. Each one of the blue lines in the screenshot below should be squiggly as only mountain roads are in Colorado.
Link to Map as saved.
I have been able to have the roads save properly under another account, but since nearly everything I do online is tied to this one, I would really like Maps to save properly. Otherwise, using it as a tool is just a waste of my time, effort and resources.
I haven't created a Map outside of the My Tracks app on my Android in more than a year because of this problem and I'd really like to see it addressed.
EDIT: So, apparently, if you open the Map back up, edit it and right-click on the line you can then select snap to road to fix this issue. However, it must be done for each and every line separately and doesn't save that as a feature any additional lines being drawn.
