I have discovered a bug with Google Maps that causes this. It seems

that if you add the map more than once to your Google profile, all the

data becomes invisible. I now have reproducible steps and I'll file

the bug with Google.

This is what worked for me to fix: If you go to maps.google.com, you

should see a link that says My Maps. In the left navigation area, see

if you have a link with a checkbox labeled " Gluten Free Bay Area " . If

it is there, you should see an X icon to the right of the label, which

is used to remove the map from your profile. Click it to remove Gluten

Free Bay Area from your maps. Remove all instances of the map from

your profile - if you have more than one instance, you are almost

guaranteed to be seeing the bug in question. Then click on the map

link again (which may always be found here:

/links ) and all the

data should appear.

If the above does not work, try downloading the Google Earth KML

(which requires Google Earth of course...)

Welcome! There is nothing to fear. It will surprise you how much is

out there and available to you - especially once you get a view of the

map! ;-)
