Hey Mods, can someone make a google earth map so we can put a pin at our zipcode???

[paulsonlaw]

Thought it would be awesoem to have a Google earth map, layer, wtvr so we can put a pin near our pad! With nearly 10,000 users, it wouldn't be empty! I would do it but have not the authority.

It'd be free & real cool to see how many and where. It could or could not have our info, either way.

Bump if you agree!

It would very interesting to see where there are concentrations of active members.

Might be better to PM a mod with this request or post it in the ECF suggestions forum.

Just a thought.

There is a problem with that....it's that anyone can move any pin..........I accidentally moved someone's house out into the Gulf on our social group....!

P-pa-pa-pla-please

Why would someone do that? I have yet to run into many trolls here.

Any other ideas on how to go about this people??? There must be a way!?!

 

[paulsonlaw]

Everyone could check from time to time to see that their pin?

 

[classwife]

It's not up to me to do it....sorry....

...doesn't need a troll....I moved someone's by accident trying to figure out how to get my own in on one....

But it would be fun to see where everyone is...if there are larger areas....greater concentrations ...etc....

Couldn't ECF just generate such a map, say, once a month to keep it current?

Like this.... Lives Saved with the use of a PV - Google Maps

 

[paulsonlaw]

^^^ Nice map! But how do add a pin?

This was posted by Angela on ECF in October I think.

Directions:

1.Click on "Sign In" in the top right-hand corner and either sign in or create a Google account

2.To the left of the map, you will see a list of people who have already added their location. At the top of this list, there is an 'Edit' button. Click on that and the necessary icons will appear at the top of the map

3.Use the arrows and the +/- bar on the map to zoom in to your location

4.Click on the blue balloon icon (next to the hand icon) and drag a blue balloon to you location. Click when it's in the right place

5.A balloon will appear and you can add your forum name (and a little comment if you want)

6.Click 'OK' when you're done

7.Click 'Done' (situated at the top of the list of names to the left of the map.... where you found the 'Edit' button)
