Hitting the wall on my project

I have been trying to get my photostory up and loaded to communitywalk.com but have hit a huge snag. I am having a lot of trouble getting the path maker feature of the website to actually use roads instead of just making a arbitrary line between two points. The point of this project was to create a printable map that had the different sites on it where people could use it to get around town. It still looks really good with the different sites labeled and what there is to see and do there. I am just a little disappointed with the outcome. Plus, after working in a library for about a month now, I have seen a hundred other projects that would have been fantastic to do. Hopefully I can get this site working but I am going to use this knowledge I gained from this project to start a couple programs in my library. Many people have no clue how to apply for jobs via the Internet. I want to create a program to help people create a usable resume and how to link it to online job applications. To us this is as simple as pie to them it is trying to speak Greek.
