It seems like the "notes" section does not show up on the course map (unless it's one of my courses). This section could be very useful to other users, you could indicate where to get water, what to look for or avoid, even turn-by-turn directions. A lot of good info for the person trying to find a route. Keep up the good work, Eric!

PerfesserR, If I remember correctly, I intentionally left out the notes section in the view maps page because I was concerned about people's privacies. I don't know what people put in the notes section, and I don't want it to be made completely public. Maybe I'm just too paranoid. What do other people think? Should the notes be made public? eric Smile

You've already got the option to make the map private. Why not make the notes private or not based on whether the map is private?

Or maybe a "course comments" field that could be public. However it's done, textual notes could be helpful, I think.
