Virtual Tour Group: Still cannot edit long routes

Just wondering if there is any progress on editing the long routes in this group.  It's been a week, can someone at MMF give us a status update?

My route is still only showing about 40% of my total run. Looks like I may need to go in and reroute my whole adventure....not something I'm looking forward to!

I have used the "contact us" forum on this issue twice.  Kevin emailed me directly this morning but did not understand that my route was broken - he seemed to think it was still a slow-rendering map issue.  I emailed him back 5 hours ago, no response yet.

I just want to know if we should wait, edit the broken routes, start completely over, or give up.  When I hear from him, I'll let you all know.

Once I start adding to it this time, I'm really hoping it stays working, b/c if it doesn't, I'll be thoroughly ticked off!

Let me know how it goes.  It will take me many hours to get 1700 miles mapped, so I'm not doing it until I have some reason to believe it will work.

I might also see if I can export something from Google Maps that I could import here.  That wouldn't take long to try. 

Alright, I found a way to do the export from Google Maps into MMR, so I have a new virtual route. But there are so many problems with it, I won't even link to it here because I will be deleting it soon. Here are my observations, in random order:

• It is insanely easy to make a virtual route in Google Maps. Use the "Get Directions" feature to input a start and end point, then you can literally drag the starting point, ending point, or any section of the route to the exact locations you want.
• It is insanely difficult to export this route or save it in any way. Google has a "My Maps" feature, but you cannot save routes, only points. Same with exporting it to Google Earth - only points are allowed.
• I finally found a trick that exports the route into coordinate points in kml format. Problem is, MMR does not support that kml format. I had to actually edit the file using a sample exported from MMR. Then re-importing into MMR worked fine. Except...
• ...the granularity of the coordinates exported from Google Maps is much too course to follow roads in MMR.
• When I saved the imported route, the mileage was 1732.22. When I viewed it again, it was 1738.74 - which is useless for this group's ability to keep track of training miles.
• When I went to edit the route, none of the previously saved points are visible or movable. The only thing I can do is add to the route.

If Google Maps allowed me to save my route, I would track my virtual miles there because editing a route is so simple.
