I am trying to test a new feed that is not yet live. I have to get to
the test area via the main Google Transit(GT) page in order for the
Transit option to be available. Once I get to the test area I am
trying to run several addresses but the Transit option keeps
disappearing and I have to start over.

Does anyone now a trick to keep GT in a mode that allows testing of
the transit option for more than one address pair?

Guess not....

A plea to GT: PLEASE make it easier to test feeds! Do not require a
special login account as we would like to have many users test the
feed without having to login into Google as a user other than the one
they already have. Please find a way! A special URL would be much
better.

(Also please lean on the GM folks to fix the right mouse click to/from
feature.)

RE: Mouse to/from

Seems this only suppressed when logged in to a test feed. Great - the
most useful feature for testing doesn't work when logged in as a
tester.

Figured out a work around for the right click issues:

0 blank out the To or From
0 click Get Directions
0 right click can now set To/From

SUGGESTION: Do not suppress the To/From right click menu items when To/
From are populated.

Or: If To or From are blanked out enable the To/From on the right
click menu. (Poor second choice IMHO but maybe an acceptable
compromise.)

I guess you are trying to be helpful by hiding the items that are
filled in but that only works before you enter any To/From info. If
the user wants to make a change suppressing the To/From disables the
mouse for changes.
