I tried for the first time to add a trailhead (Ruby Gulch in the Front Range) since there was nothing showing up on the map for that starting point for the Bard group.
I got it added successfully and put in the GPS coordinates which I can tap on and it goes to the right place but there's no 'hiking green people' icon on the map.
Did I miss something in creating the trailhead or is Bill the only one who can add the green people?

Re: Adding a Trailhead
The batch job that updates trailhead and peak GPX files only runs a couple times per week. I will run it this morning but it still may take a bit to show up on your maps because of the way Google caches the map files.daway8 wrote: ↑Tue Aug 17, 2021 10:57 pm I tried for the first time to add a trailhead (Ruby Gulch in the Front Range) since there was nothing showing up on the map for that starting point for the Bard group.
