This is a chopped down version of the 7,000 point path I'm trying to create.  Can someone tell me why when I try to import this layer nothing happens and the layer keeps offering to let me import?  How do I add this path layer to my map?  What is my typo?

Thanks.

Hi Jeffrey, I was able to import your path after removing the double quotes on the 1st, 2nd and 6th lines.

In general, it's better to ask this type of question in the Google Maps forum: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!forum/maps/categories.

Thank you Noisette; I forgot that grabbing the text from a spreadsheet would introduce the extra quote marks.  I thought though this was a noob question and this was a noob forum.  Sorry if I misinterpreted that.
