I love the new map but I think there are a few bugs in it yet. I often get the entire US with the shops highlighted or I get CA. and I live in Fl. But other than that,. I think it is easy to find shops that I want to do.
I am finding that this month is a little slow although others have said that they have had shops fall into their laps. I was away for the end of July and called home for an emergency in the beginning of this month. So I have no done nearly the number of shops that I usually do. I also do not often do shops when I am on vacation. ( but I did one in an airport that was bonused big time and it took only a few minutes to do.
