Google Member Map…can we get one going?

That sounds way cool. Where do I sign up? :)

I'm not even sure my state is on the map. ;-p

I might participate, someone has to be a dot down here on the border.

They have that going on Hammock Forums. Really lets you see that most of the hangers live along the AT.

Okay, here we go. I think this should work:

Cool Worked for me. Thanks
Good idea on including a link to your profile.

+1 to Ken's post. Thanks, Chris.

Worked for me. Thanks for setting it up Chris.

Hey Chris-

I've been doing some other mapping stuff with arcmap and G-maps, wondering how you set this up. Do you mind giving a brief on the details?

Tyler, make sure to put in some contact info.

Take a look at this: http://maps.google.com/support/bin/static.py?page=guide.cs&guide=21670&topic=21676&answer=144365

Great idea for contacting people with local knowledge and a visual of where we all live. Cool.

Wonderful!

I'm in, and don't forget to click the "save to my places", so you can see it all the time. I love it!

Added mine… Good idea here!

….to the nearest member. :(

Thanks Chris

So, how do you see the map with little markers on the map where everyone is or am I just doing something wrong?

Jerry. Do you have a Google account? You have to sign in to see it.

Okay, I logged in – it has my google email address at upper right

Still no icons on the map where people are

It let me enter my name

I love computers : ) I love diagnosing obscure problems : ) What operating system do you have? Try re-booting your computer,…

Look here.

Thanks Ken – I tried to clarify the instructions – somehow you ended up in the Pacific Ocean!

@Chris. I had located myself properly, but it seems that I have been moved. I moved back.

Huh – apparently you can move the pin just by clicking and dragging – even without being in edit mode. That could be dangerous.

Thanks for doing this, pretty cool. Worked for me.

Stinking Californians.

That is all.

It is definitley ridiculous how many Californians are on here,
