Select 2 points and a blue line joins them.

Drag the route to a different road and now the blue line DISAPPEARS.

IN google maps, when you move the line, it is SUPPOSED to draw a newline with the new path.

Is your problem something different ?

Same here. Been doing some trip planning and it’s been really glitchy and not doing what it normally does.

Google Maps has always been suspicious to me. It is very difficult to use. I put the same address in Google Maps, MapQuest, and Microsoft Bing. All three showed the address in a different location as much as 10 miles apart. Sometimes, it shows it on the wrong side of the road.

Sent a link and all it showed was the start / end points (very close to each other) and none of the route.   Roll Eyes

I use Bing maps on my computer these days.  They show current shots from the state DOT traffic cameras right on the map.  I'm surprised none of the other map sites do this.

Can I ask, how do you move the line. I’m on an IPad, when I touch the line to move it, as I move my finger the whole map moves.

usually just a finger on the touchscreen of the iPad does the same thing as a cursor on a laptop.
Must be a shortcoming I the app on iPad.

Google "Sorry, we could not calculate driving directions from" and you'll
see that this happens from time to time. It is happening to me again now
too. In the google hits you'll find all kinds of crazy things that people have
deduced to be the problem. Eventually it will start working again. I've
never seen it before this time... I use the blue line all the time...  Wink
