	Eric, great site BTW. I'm coming over here from a similar site, that well, just wasn't keeping up with the demands of its users. One thing I'm not getting is if I ran a route someone else created how do I include that in my training log?

ccamp - Glad you're here!

First you'll want to pull up the map. You can do this by using the "tools" function on the left hand side menu under "training log." Select "find route" and then plug in your info to get a list of publically available maps. (Your friend's route must not be marked "private" or it won't show up!) When you've selected the route by clicking on it's name, in the upper right hand corner of the map is the option to "copy map." Click on that and it'll copy the map over to a form that looks just like when you enter in a new course. Save it and then you'll be able to use it like any other course.

Good luck!
Janell

	I'm trying to copy my maps to my DW RA course page without re-doing them all. when i use the search feature for my maps none of them show up as an icon as stated. All my maps are public, but don't show up un the search. What stupid thing am I doing wrong?

I was able to click on the "View Log" link under your avatar, click "Courses", click the icon to view the course, then use the copy map button. Are you logged in with your wife's username?

	When you are logged in with your wife's account, come back to this thread and click View Log under your avatar View your map Click Copy Map link (this does not put it on a clipboard like Windows does, it prepares a copy to be saved to the account in use at the time) Clicking the save button will save it to the courses for the account in use (your wife's course listing) Note that the account which is logged in displays in the top left corner, in my screen shot BadDawg is displayed. You can rename it if you want, mine is called BadDawg visits Carrollton.

	Hey girun, This forum isn't widely read, it's pretty much for assistance with technical issues with the site. Eric and a handful of experienced users check it out, but you would get a wider audience if you posted in Running 101. You might want to include some information in your profile (or your post) about your background (brand new to running, used to run but lapsed, age, etc) and make your log public. Welcome, and good luck to you.
