Export multiple tracks to same Maps Engine map #1539

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

Please describe what your requested feature would do, how it would work,
etc:

Previously, I could export all of my tracks to the same map in classic maps.  
Now this is no longer possible.  With the recent change over to exporting to 
Maps Engine, I would like to request to be able to upload multiple tracks to 
the same map in Maps Engine Lite.  Right now it is really difficult to try to 
compare multiple tracks on the same map.  It would be nice to be able to see 
them all together.  

If you're a developer, are you willing to implement this yourself? (you
probably still want to let us know so we can discuss how it'll work and
whether we believe it's a good feature to be merged into the main mytracks
distribution)

I'm not a developer.

Currently, there is a limit on how many maps Google Maps Engine can display at 
once on a web browser. Thus we cannot provide this feature now.

Jshih - would you please remove this limit and allow users to upload multiple 
tracks? It's ridiculous to have to even ask - come on Google!

It is a performance limitation on the web browser, not something that can 
easily be solved.

I used My Tracks to plot areas of land and used to merge multiple maps so that 
I could have 1 full, comprehensive map of the area.  With the loss of this 
function, I do not believe i will be using My Tracks anymore.  It's way to 
difficult now to merge the maps.  I understand its a browser limitation, but it 
worked before, and in my opinion, you should not be taking away options.  You 
should be ADDING options.  Good luck with your now inferior product.

Same happened to me. It´s ridiculous not to have the possibility to merge your 
multiple tracks to your related map. The map that show the tracks of those 
zones.

Multiple tracks on 1 google map is would be very, very usefull for many use 
cases indeed.
