Mike, I couldn't figure that out either. I think I just PM'd Topper and he did it for me. All the guys from Iowa figured it out, but when the flag got close to them, they pretended that they never put their pins in the map at all. What state are you from?

I went out with a girl from Monticello around 15 years ago, but she ended up being a lush.
Her idea of going out, was a burger and hanging out in some little dumpy bar in town.
It was okay to go a few times, but that's the only place she ever wanted to go.
I just got tired of her very soon and moved on.

I have tried on 2 diff computers with no luck. I can bring the blue marker onto the map but I can't drag it. As soon as I scroll over it the map starts freaking out. Continuously scrolls down or up depending on the angle I touch the marker from....

Yeah, does that sometimes. Here try this, zoom in to your location first prior to editing and position it to were it is close to the blue marker. You don't have to drag and drop the blue marker. You can instead left click on the blue marker and then left click at the position you would like to place it. That should be easier to do. Then be sure to hit the save button.

I must not be looking at the right maps - all I'm seeing are the maps with member pins in them, NONE with any suggested or intended routes from one area/rider to another. As much as I would like to see the flag soon roll past/thru John Day, eastern Oregon, there's LOTS of area and registered members NORTH of Boise/John Day, and what seem a more sensible route to cover those areas first, rather than thru here in John Day, then NORTH for Washington, and Canada - then BACKTRACK south thru Washington and Oregon, down thru California?

Just sayin'... :whistle:

If you look at it that way it's just too confusing. Don't worry about the maps. The thing about these old KZ's is that they just RUN and it's cool to just take off and go like 5 hours on em with an occasional wave and a cell phone mime to the oncoming lane. I SWEAR, when I met TomW in Missouri Valley the ditches smelled like tadpoles and fresh cut grass. Easy ride, but a hard one down to KANSAS, and an even harder one to wyoming but Forrest and Jonz are on they're way. By the way, have you seen Forrest's green bike? Holy CRAP!
