Get on the Map!

[dfergie]

I dont know if it lets you pick exactly where you are...I tried and it put me higher up in the state

edit: eh, I f'd up but it wont let me change it.

Me too I should have zoomed first... about 75 miles too north and to the west a little

Where, oh where, should I put my self (Dallas, Charlotte, St. louis)?

Since I'm sorta up in the air atm

 

[thiggin2]

I got it exactly.

Dunno if that's a good thing, well I guess I don't care if someone wants to stop by for a non-harmful visit

But now we can see who should be having a meet and greet.

Looks like thiggin2 and korsjs should have a BBQ

Well mine landed alittle off, about 20 miles or so
I'd move it if I could but looks like you can't.

It is a very cool map. The zooming in takes a little getting used to but I zoomed in to the max and could actually see my house. I put the icon about a block away from my house (no offense, but I don't need any visitors) at a nearby middle school. Or would it still be called a jr. high school as it was when I went there?

However, on the large U.S. map my icon shows up kind of northwest of me on the CA coast while I am inland a bit. If I zoom back in it does show my icon where I put it.

That's great...you don't want any deviants to drop by your home so you direct them to your local middle school.

I should have read the posts before I put mine. I didnt zoom in enough but Im in the right town at least.

I am pretty sure my icon was showing on the CA coast at first on the large map, but now it is inland, closer to where I actually am. But my head is so large on the map it's hard to tell exactly.

I really am not sure if you are serious or not. That was definitely not my intention. Schools are public knowledge and as such not hard to find if one is so inclined. I just used the school because it is the biggest landmark in my area.

Are you saying this is a forum full of deviants? I'm shocked!

Very cool, got it right on what was my empty lot! There is a house there now though!

 

[bigOleB]

I can't get all the way down to my house because it says something like data unvailable in this region. In other words, even satellite imagery can't find where I live...

I live about thirty minutes from nowhere which is about an hour from somewhere in the middle of nowhere!
