Just looked into it. Looks like a glitch with how google maps encoded your lat and long for the map. Should be all good now.

Joe,

I'm not seeing the purple dots on the map at all. I'm using a Mac tower. Is there a setting of some sort I need to be aware of to make it work? I can see the dots on my Mac laptop.

Just curious thinking you might be familiar with that problem.

Thank you.

That's a new one for us. Sounds like a browser compatibility issue. Have you tried with Google Chrome? It's so hard to track down all of the combinations of browser versions and OS versions.

I agree. It is weird. I've looked into many settings and I use Chrome etc. I'll keep poking at it and let you know what I find out for future reference in the event someone else experiences the same. It may have something to do with my OS upgrade of recent. Who knows.

Thanks, Joe.

Glad to hear it! It's too bad that browsers are so finicky about different website features. We just resolved a different issue with IE 11 and the scout report form. We're always chasing our tails, it seems.
