Map

I'm trying to make a location map for everyone. I dont know how the permissions or linking to it works though. Can someone try going here and see if you see my pin? http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?hl=en&gl=us&ie=UTF8&oe=UTF8&msa=0&msid=1…" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; if you can, try and edit it. I think I may have to add people as "collaborators" but I dont know if you need a google acount. Edit: [quote] Instructions: 1. Create a google account. 2. Message me or anyone already on the map with the email you used to create that account. 3. I or the person you messaged can then add you as a "collaborator". 4. Log onto your account and open the map. 5. To the left of the map click "edit". On the upper left corner of the map will appear a button with a blue pin on it. 6. Zoom into your location as close as you like, changing to satelite view is best (my pin is directly on my house). 7. Click the pin button and place the pin on your location. 8. Fill out the title and click "ok". 9. To the left of the map click "save". Done! OR Just message me your location and the name you wish to show and I will place it for you.[/quote]

I can edit the title of the map and click collaborate, add a comment, but I can't add myself on the map - I don't think!

Morgan Sat, 03/28/2009 - 11:48

I'm sending you a mail link that should add you as a collaberator. I think...
To add your location you'll need to be able to see the little pin button on the map itself after you click edit.

Jenks Sat, 03/28/2009 - 13:30

Ah! It *may* have been there before too....My pin is there!

Morgan Sat, 03/28/2009 - 13:51

Ok, in order to place your own pins you will need to create a google acount, then pm me with the email adress you used to create it and I will add you.
If you do not wish to make an account just send me the location where you want the pin and I'll place it for you. :)

edited, not that it matters lol

Monsterpony Sat, 03/28/2009 - 16:37

It shows me listed on there, but I can't figure out how to make my own pin.

Morgan Sat, 03/28/2009 - 16:39

Are you logged onto google?
edit: oh I just figured out you wouldnt be able to see the list if you werent so...moot question.
Can you see the edit button?

I have not yet figured out how to use the search to easily find a place that you can then pin. The closest I get is by having it in "my maps" I can search for the location, then click on my maps and it will leave the map at that spot for me to pin.

Angela, I put yours on :)

Monsterpony Sat, 03/28/2009 - 18:26

Ummmmm....I think I broke it. I tried to place a pin and it kept dropping them in random places around the map...including one in the middle of the Pacific ocean. And it wouldn't let me delete them once I realized that random pins were being dropped.

Sara Sat, 03/28/2009 - 18:41

lolololololol Dierdre you make me laugh! I deleted all your pins except for one, which upon closer investigation appears to be in Idaho so it may be a little off.

Monsterpony Sat, 03/28/2009 - 18:47

That pin is in some random spot in Idaho...probably 45 minutes NE of me.

Monsterpony Sat, 03/28/2009 - 18:49

Whoa, this thing is awesome! Sara, the satellite picture of your place is definitely outdated, but when you drop the little orange man thing on your pin, you can actually see your barns.

Sara Sat, 03/28/2009 - 18:54

omg I just tried that and I can see a horse! I think it's Inigo. He had that paddock.

Monsterpony Sat, 03/28/2009 - 18:55

It doesn't cover my street, but I can see the vet school....which I spend most my time at anyway.

Morgan Sat, 03/28/2009 - 19:02

LOLOL dont feel bad about the pins thing that happened to me earlier when I was testing it :laugh1

I learned that my driveway used to be a road. No wonder it's in such a wierd place...

RiddleMeThis Sat, 03/28/2009 - 19:10

Just put mine on there!!! If you zoom all the way in, then click on my name, then drag the person to my pin it will take you directly to a view of my house.

Morgan Sat, 03/28/2009 - 19:18

LMAO I just found the little man you guys are talking about, that is hilarious! and creepy and WOW :o
I'm looking at the houses I grew up in, crazy. The one on rambler ave has a horse in the yard :lol:

Morgan Sun, 03/29/2009 - 01:06

Why did you have to tell me about that feature? I cant stop playing with it. they even have frozen people :laugh1

PamelaTX Sun, 03/29/2009 - 01:54

[color=#8000BF][b]I added mine!!

Hey Judith aka Vneerland ...man you're also a neighbor to me!! Sorta anyway!! lol[/b][/color]

Monsterpony Sun, 03/29/2009 - 03:04

Woohoo! I figured it out. I deleted to pin in Idaho and dropped in Pullman right on top of the vet hospital.

vneerland Sun, 03/29/2009 - 09:13

Yes ma'am. We could meet in Longview for coffee one day. :lol:

@ Morgan: thanks for helping! Now where can this cool map be plastered on this site? 8-)

Krickette Sun, 03/29/2009 - 11:41

lol, Judith is 2 hours away and Pamela is 1 hour away!
You can zoom in and see my ponies and cows, lol!!! I'm waiting to be able to put my pin in though ^_^

Daylene Alford Sun, 03/29/2009 - 11:49

I was trying last night to find a way to add something like this to the forum but there isn't a mod for it. Not sure what would be a good way to add it to the site...maybe just a link? I can add links like stickies to the forum.

Monsterpony Sun, 03/29/2009 - 13:17

Sara, we are all alone in the NW. We've got to get Tianateke to add her marker so we have a little more representation.

NZ Appaloosas Sun, 03/29/2009 - 18:47

I couldn't find anything where I could edit :cry: But then we're just a tiny little island with nothing between us and Antarctica but some seals, whales, penguins and sharks... :laugh1

Diane

Monsterpony Sun, 03/29/2009 - 18:49

Now that I know how, I can add you Diane. Where do you want the marker?

NZ Appaloosas Sun, 03/29/2009 - 18:59

Stick in Christchurch...I don't think anything else actually right near to the farm would be big enough to show up. Chch is about 50 kms from the farm, so close enough to make no never mind :laugh1 Thanks!

Diane

Monsterpony Sun, 03/29/2009 - 19:05

I added you to Christchurch. I think it is safe to say you are the furthest south at this point :D. Now we just need more non-Americans to be added as well...come on now, I know there are plenty of English and Irish members about.

I am a rock! I am an iiiiiiiisland! With you, of course.
