Since our last map went away, we decided to try a new map. The last one was real cool and alot of fun to see where we all are, so let's try to fill this map up! Note: you need a Google Account to do this, sorry, it's the only way that I know of to do it. Anyone that wants me to put them on the map for them, just PM me and I'll gladly do it for ya. It doesn't have to be your exact address, just a general area. Put yourself on the map by doing the following: 1. Click one of the three links below 2. Log in (if you already have a Google Account), Create an account if you need to 3. Put yourself on the map by clicking the edit button on lefthand side (see pic below) 4. Click on the blue pin at the top left of the map 5. Grab it and place it where you are 6. Then a box pops up and you can fill in your info 7. Click the OK button 8. Click Save on the left hand side 9. Bookmark it so you can get back to peak at it from time to timeThe Links (only need to click one of them) maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF&msa=0&msid=106349598611818691516.0004969b27f62d1e76e89bit.ly/ha57KjRTH MapFigured out how to change the look of your pin... in edit mode, click the pin in your little pop-up box, it'll give you some other options. Surprised nobody has chosen the rock slide yet, LOL.

Hmm, apparently I am an idiot, I don't have an "edit" OR a list of people...of course, my computer has crapped out several times lately, so.... do I need to hold my head just right when i click the links?

It takes a little while for everything to load.

Rodney, Hold your head in a leftward tilt then move it side to side a little then turn it to the right, that might help (or it might just make someone watching you think you're nuts...teehee)
Sorry couldn't help myself....LOL As Jake said; it does take a while for it to load so hopefully you will be able to get it to work soon.

Rodney, do you have the stuff showing up on the left hand side of the page, to the left of the map? Here's what it looks like and the edit button is indicated by the red arrow. Diane... ROTFL!

I never did have an edit and tried everything. Finally I logged in the google and the edit came up. I guess you have to login google first.

Come-on guys and gals, this isn't AA. Zoom into your location and put/move the marker within ten miles of your place anyway. Mine's ON my place. How the heck can the rest of us sneak in and raid your rock piles?

Just a suggestion. Once you figure out how to use the map, bookmark it. Then you can get back in without a bunch of hassle.

This is really a cool thing to see where all of us are. I hope all the members post their place. I think we could blue dot the whole map.

Great idea, Don. I'm adding that to the directions.
Would love to see some pins in Canada, UK, Europe, Romania, Asia, Australia and more. Maybe even a little bicycle pin in Thailand for Rogue Trader, LOL.
