I'm new. I think I've set my default map location correctly. Settings --> Locale Settings --> Panned and zoomed to my location and clicked "update." Whenever I return to this screen it shows the same location I set. However, when I upload a new workout, the map that comes up is of Boston, MA. I'm in Southwest Asia. I can zoom out and pan over to my current location and find my workout route, so it's saving it. Why doesn't it show this when I open the map for the workout? Why Boston every time?

Thanks for your help!

I think I found it. A message comes up that says a script needs to run that may make IE unresponsive. I had been clicking the default don't-let-it-run option because...well, because I didn't want IE to become unresponsive! So I let it run. I had to repeat the order to let it run because it came up a second time. That finally worked. Whatever that script is did take me to the map of my workout. IE is still running. :-)

Because that's the center of the universe.

Boston is the Hub of the Universe. I'm pretty sure Hell is in Michigan, and apparently it does freeze over.

Dana,

Were you having trouble with today's run? The mapping code is written in JavaScript. Different browsers' JavaScript engine has a different performance profile. IE is the slowest of all major browsers. I highly recommend Firefox, if you're allowed to install it on your computer. On my home computer, I get the slow script warning on IE while FF had no such problems.

Nice job on your run, by the way! Are you training for anything? And are you allowed to take pictures? I love pictures of those things that you run around Big grin
