When I try to find routes I don't see any icons to click on. I tried my area and a couple of other cities. I can create routes fine. # the exact error message that you encountered No error message appears, that map just doesn't show any routes. # a list of steps to reproduce the error Go into Find Routes and zoom in to any city. I tried Allentown PA area and Nashville TN area. # name of your browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari) Firefox # version of your browser 3.01 with Adblock and NoScript (the plugins don't show that they are blocking anything. # name of your operating system (e.g. Windows XP, Windows 98, Mac OS X, Linux) Windows XP Professional # version of your operating system. Service Pack 3 I'm also running Norton Internet Security. Thanks. I also plan on trying another machine when I get a chance.

Not at it at all.

Hi I checked out Nashville and see a lot of routes around the Iniversity, in the downtown area and around several parks - the routes take a while to load and the site only seems to show a finite number at any one time (when the University routes show up, the park ones disappear!). But ... the routes are there ... IE6, W2000. Neil

I tried another machine at work and got the same results. Everything is the same on the other machine except for it does not have Norton on it. I got the same results. When I move around on the map the status on the right says "Loading Maps" but quickly (less than a second) changes to "Done".

Not at it at all.

Weird ... I try Oxford, UK and routes appear almost straight away. Firefox 3, Windows Vista. This needs the 'power of Eric' to resolve! Neil Confused

It also seems to be a function of how close in you are zoomed. At the closest level on Allentown (for example), I see nothing. However, zoom out two levels (and wait several seconds) and a bunch of routes show up east of Dorney Park. It does take a few more seconds for the icons to show up after the "Loading Maps..." / "Done" messages finish (the ones above the top right corner of the map, not the IE "Done" at the lower left of the screen in the status bar). It could be that nobody from RA likes to run in that particular part of Allentown Big grin

. Same thing with Nashville that Neil found - zoom in close on the center of Nashville and some routes appear. Zoom out, and the routes in the center disappear while the routes near the campus show up. Try zooming in / out and see if that changes anything for you Note: XP-SP3, IE 7 (no Firefox @ work) MTA: As you zoom out the message at top right says "Please zoom in to see more maps", indicating that there are more available that are not displayed.

Good thought ... I wondered if that was the problem .... but Oxford, UK seemed to have routes showing at the current zoom level ... might be worth a try though! Neil

I tried out the Find Routes functionality just now and everything seems to be working. I even went to Nashville. Were you zoomed all the way in? There are so many maps on RA that I had to limit the number that are displayed when you zoom out. Otherwise, it will take a long time to draw the map markers. I need to restructure the database to better handle the number of maps. Right now, if several people are searching for maps, it may bog down the server so much that it doesn't have a chance to send back the results. It could be what you're experiencing. eric :-)

I zoomed all of the way in to a route that I created a couple of days ago and it didn't show up. Originally I was just looking around my area to see what routes were there ... nothing overly important. Thanks.

Not at it at all.

I still can't see my routes or any other ones, and I've tried quite a few times. Strange!

It's not working for me either. I'm at work and on IE6. When I first loaded up the "find routes" tool my maps were showing. I scrolled up to where Theresa's maps were, and didn't find any. I scrolled back to where my maps were, and didn't find any. Even zoomed all the way in. They were public maps, though my log is currently set to "private." Teresa's public maps didn't show and she's got her log public. What I'm seeing is I'll go to a spot and it tells me to zoom in for more maps. I do. There are no maps showing. It tells me to zoom in for more maps. I do. There are no maps showing. Process repeated until we're all the way zoomed in. Then it just says "Done." No maps showing. When I say "no maps showing" I mean that the little red thumbtacks aren't on the screen. Hope that helps!

No routes for me either, both Firefox and Safari. I'm zoomed in pretty close and I know there were routes there a couple of weeks ago. It says loading maps...then done almost instantly, but no routes.
