Thanks for the article, but for some reason I can not highlight any of the text in this article. I was hoping to copy the address for a few of these into my maps app (while stopped in a parking lot), but I can’t. I can do it at work now, but most people will only give it one shot. It’s the mobile world we live in.
Hi Stewart,
I’m the web admin… thank you for the feedback. We have had our content stolen and republished without proper attribution in the past, so we had to take precautions. I apologize for the inconvenience. I’m happy to email you any information from the site you need if you are still having copy/paste issues.
Same with me. This site needs to change their format.
Hi Brian, as Amy mentioned above, we’ve had our content stolen multiple times and republished on other peoples sites as “their own”. Once, it happened 3 times in one week. It’s a lot of work to track people down and get our work removed from their sites.
So we have a plug-in that prohibits people from copying our content. However, if you’d like a copy for personal use, we are happy to email it to you at any time.
