Teardrop marker, undragable?

[fm-usa]

Try as I may, I can not drag the location marker (rising teardrop).
I've hovered over it in different places and tried. It's not set up yet?
.
I've also tried and failed at this.
[for directions address or Zip-Code] "from ZIP to ZIP"
.
GitMap - Git-Map sounds catchy.
Continued thanks for making this map the best.

What marker are you trying to drag?

I can't think of any use for draggable markers as such within the map.

The only one is pegman in splitscreen streetview.

Type in an address and what displays is a location marker, the rising teardrop. That marker isn't drag-able. I know of no other term but location marker, if there's a proper one, please let me know so we can be on the same page.
The use for it would be saving time to find distances instead of typing in a new (sometimes unknown) location. I'm sure you've done that in Google maps, it instantly finds the shorter route between two points.

Hmm. No. such markers are not draggable.

Not seen the behaviour in Google Maps, so unsure exactly how that would work.

Are you saying you could drag a marker, and it would generate a set of directions (between the original location, and where you 'drop' the marker)?

"Are you saying you could drag a marker, and it would generate a set of directions (between the original location, and where you 'drop' the marker)?"
Yes it does, you'll have to try it, works quite well. BING maps one must hover for about a second before it's moveable.
Anywhere between Start and Finish you can drag the line and set it on a specific road or a secondary location. It then retains that sub-marker in the directions. More than one sub-marker is possible.

Hmm, I can't reproduce that. Bing just gives a dot in a circule, doesnt seem to be draggable. (new) Google Maps just drags the map.

Can you maybe take a screencast?

would be interested in seeing how that works.

Here's a quickie. (inset pix)
Have to wait for your cursor to change to Drag the DOT or Marker. .

Ah right, so its once you already got directions.

Those markers do seem to be draggable, as is the route itself to create new via points (the little white dots)

... but the 'details' are not displayed, so you dont get the actual distances (and other details). Technically directions are not a supported feature, they not meant to be there, looks like just kind got left in and only particially working. Unsure how would solve that.

ALL-Righty then...
Maybe more Layers for what we were talking about? I'm not a software writer.
What I read of folks wants and likes for this map is that it be very much like what Google Map was. Loads of work to do to get that. Maybe find a Google map X-employee to help?
Thanks for the out-put, I'm still VERY reluctant to use Goog-Maps since they (in all basics) threw it's dedicated users into "File 13".
