In my last blog post about Google Maps, I noted that whenever I try to create a map using the Draw a Line::Follow Roads tool GMaps always saves as straight lines, for some unknown reason.
This time, using my Google Apps account, I decided to create the map I was creating last time I became so frustrated I stopped. And look! The same friggin thing happend! What the hell? Google Maps really does hate me. This is, not only, a completely different account, but its also only a year old, so is probably on a number of different servers.
This is very annoying, Google!
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.
So the question of the day is, why these extra steps? Why not "draw lines to roads" and have them, oh, I don't know, draw the lines to the roads and save that way? Still annoying, Google!
