I'm sure most people have come accross the Google Map - satelite technology where you can view a map and zoom into a most streets around the world and use a satelite view to pinpoint buildings, landmarks... even see parked cars - a lot of detail!

Now we have google map on the forum. (Link at the top of each forum page).

Simply play with the map and zoom into places around the world or find your street then select "Add your entry" and put a marker on your street so people can see where you live.

Afterwards you can select "your entry" to either move/change the marker or delete it altogether.

Once you have a marker placed, a link is in your profile and on the posts you make for other members to see where you live.

In your entry options, there's a field called "pimage" - if you enter the URL to an image on the internet (ie your profile picture) then it will appear on the back of your marker.

Askimref . You are out in the middle of the Atlantic. Do you live on a boat? maybe you're sailing to Gran Canaria... :nodding:

After the last upgrade a week or two ago, Google Map stopped working but it is now fixed and back.

Great idea.

I've seen a lot of applications using Google World, where people can actually find the accommodation that their hoping to stay in, etc.

But this is a great app to add to any blog or forum.

does any one know why the map seems to have changed ? When I got google earth and looked at puerto rico it was up to date with the tunnels and the bridge that brings the traffic into town at the back of the valley shown . Now they are gone and some hotels like the RIU are not finished so obviously and old photo.
