Users can place their mark and see who their cycling neighbors are. I've also placed special markers at various bike path trailheads, bike shops and other key spots. I already have some enhancement requests. 1) Place the marker buttons in a fixed location at the top. Mine are already almost off the bottom with less than two weeks of use. 2) User clear current marker feature. Some users aren't too computer agile. Their markers end up in the Arctic Ocean and such places. 3) (maybe) Link to optional extended information from the popup. I'm a fairly mediocre programmer but I might be able to do simple stuff like move the buttons. Thanks, Chris

I already have some enhancement requests.

2) User clear current marker feature. Some users aren't too computer agile. Their markers end up in the Arctic Ocean and such places.
