Please follow these instructions carefully.
Here's the Link Golf GTI Forum Members Map (http://www.zeemaps.com/map?group=220682)
I have added mine, it's a pic of my car in the Midlands, if you hover over it, it will tell you it's me! :cool:
To add yourself:
Zoom in to your region, not your exact address, just a rough area for security reasons,
Click on the option at the top left of the map Additions
Then click on Add Marker - Simple
In the window that pops up, enter your forum user name in the Entry Name field
now click on Click on a map location
Click where you want your marker to be placed, a red star will appear as a preview.
In the pop up window, click select, job done! :cool:
Any problems, gimme a shout. :smiley:

Wasn't expecting this to take off so quickly! looks great and I'm glad I did it now! I don't know why but even though we have friends from overseas, I wasn't expecting any pins in the US so soon. I guess that could make some meets and convoys rather interesting!

Thanks for those that have done this already!... Keep it up. :cool:

I bet you're not... just need to get as many people to do it as possible.

Awesome idea. Would be great to see who is around. :smiley:

First top tip of day.
If you want to find someone quickly rather than hovering and clicking all over the place, click on VIEW top left of the screen and you will see a list of all the members on the right, select a member and it will show you where that person is (roughly) as below. :cool:

Also it is possible to relocate your marker if you decide it's a good idea to set your location to somewhere like Libya then change your mind. When you hover over your own location in the bottom right hand corner of the bubble that appears is a 'relocate' option which allows you to drag your marker to a new place :wink:

Good, I'm glad people are having a play and figuring stuff out themselves.. so far this has prompted one question and even then that person sorted their own problem out. :afro:

So where do we buy our trackers so we have a live feed and know when everyone is...... and how fast there going....... and then police start viewing the map :evil:
@ Soundillusion: I hope you don't mind i used your idea and instructions on another forum more local to me. I credited you tho :smiley: Wicked idea. http://autobahn25.com/forums/index.php?/topic/8139-autobahn-25-forum-map/ (http://autobahn25.com/forums/index.php?/topic/8139-autobahn-25-forum-map/)

Part of my job involves this.... it can be arranged. :grin:

Nice one Boney... now I know where Korostyshivs'kyi, Ukraine is! :grin:
-
Done!
Great post :smiley:
-
Done, im the only one in colchester lol!
-
Nice idea and added myself :smiley:
I think people need to remember not to add their exact address for security reasons, think about how much you've already told others about yourself and your car etc Bad people (read thieving tw@ts) might try to steal stuff off of it or even worse - steal it ( I was going to reference the post from a member who woke during the night to find some tw@ts trying to steal his Anni Sill covers, but can't find it ).
-
^^^ Yes... I did make this point very clear more than once, and on the map itself. This is also why I promoted the option to click an area rather than use the detailed option of postcodes etc....
For example, I have clicked a region rather than my town or village. If you live in a village near leicester, choose the city centre rather than where you live.
It's always good to remind people of this though just in case.

done :smug:

Done, great idea :wink: Gumie30 and someone who doesnt want to be named are very close to me :grin:

I wonder if the owner of the mk3 GTI or the mk1 cabby or the lovely jetta that all live round the corner from me are on here anywhere, nice to have so many vw nearby! :smiley:

No all of about 5 or 6 attempts and then figured that as I'm not a huge forum user no one would really give a massive hoot if I simply gave up.
@ Soundillusion, no idea why it wouldn't work. Just wouldn't actually put a flag down. :undecided:
-
sorted !!! no one else from matlock :cry:
-
There was something similar to this a few years back and I had problems with that one.
This time was fine.
-
This is great.... 100 members on the map now... keep it up..
anybody fancy making this a sticky somewhere?

This is why I wanted it stickied... it's been here for ages and people miss it... Myself and Rhyso are unsure of the best place for it???

Perhaps we should separate, sticky and lock the members map and events calendar themselves in 'an area' to be decided and then move the rest of the related posts to another topic that be replied to...........if you get my drift :undecided:

Yeah that makes sense... Just leave the instructions on how to use in there... but the question remains, where's best, show calender makes sense where it is but member map??? :undecided:

Yeah that did cross my mind and is a great idea but then I thought a lot of regulars aren't new and dont go in there...... hmmm. Perhaps in the show and meets area as that's where you'd want to use it and would be with the calender too. or maybe both places....

Put myself on the map. It's awful lonely out here :grin:
Could a mod maybe move SoundIllusion's post about the map to the first post of the thread? The first page still reads like the idea never got going.
