GSP 475 Google Maps Project-Day 2

Now that I have the general area of the map laid out it is time to start placing areas of interest.  I plan to point out several stores that are in walking distance of the starting point.  As I progress, I will add pictures and descriptions to the push pins, detailing how I went about doing it as it happens.  For today, I will add my first point.  I noticed some discrepancies with the actual locations of some of the places that I want to put on my map.  So what I did was I placed my marker on the spot that I wanted to add to my map and put in the description that this was the actual location of the point of interest.  Today's point of interest is my favorite restaurant in the Bloomington-Normal area, Logan's Road House.  I will be adding a link to the restaurant's website on my map later in the project.  Here is a screenshot of the map in satellite view, if you click to enlarge it, you will notice the actual location is further down the road from where it is listed.
