Can't make a pushpin with Streets and Trips | Google Earth, Maps, and Navigation | Forums

I learned something new today with Streets and Trips and thought I'd pass it along in case any of you had the same experience. 

I wanted to create a pushpin at the location of the RV park where we were staying.  I clicked on the Pushpin in the toolbar, and then clicked on the location for the pushpin.  That should work.  (See the videos on Streets and Trips, I know it works!)  I tried it several times.  I even rebooted the computer hoping to clear up whatever was causing the problem. 

No go.  When I clicked to make the pushpin, NOTHING happened.

I did a little research and discovered my problem.  I had *all* pushpin sets hidden.  When I UNhid MY PUSHPINs, I saw not one, but 4 pushpins around our campsite!  One for each time I had tried it. 

Mystery solved!  Creating a pushpin now, works just as I expected.  Now I know that when I right-click and 'Hide ALL pushpin sets' I might want to unhide My Pushpins.

If you don't know about pushpin sets and hide/show, check out the videos.  This is SUCH a useful feature … once you know how to use it!
