Members locations on Google Maps

[bikeypikey]

Well, I was bored this afternoon and thought about creating a map so as people could pin their locations and any other useful info such as bike friendly bars/cafes and their local Triumph dealer e.t.c

The map is open to all but it is not publically listed with Google. I put the approximate location of my house rather than exact as I don't want people turning up unannounced. Maybe this'll fly, maybe it'll die - up to you guys.

I think this link is static but I'm new to Google Maps so maybe someone with a little more nouse can verify.

Cheers,

Pikey.

I tried but cant figure out how to put my place there. Good idea though

A similar map was started when this site was, but it has seemed to have gone by the wayside. Something like this should be a 'sticky' for the simple reason..."hey, I am planning a trip to Idaho...Let's see who lives out there and hook up" type of thing. If it gets buried, some people might forget about it, or not know of its exsistence all together.

How did you mark your spot?

Added my location, which is effective February 1, 2010.

Also, the image below is a "crash course" on how to add yours...

 

[Bonniebret]

Done!

 

[cantilever]

remember to make a new marker, not edit someone else's

To complicated for me. The map I get is different from the one in the previous instruction post by ggrat, but I'm kumpewtur illuturate.

I'm with Grumpy. I don't even have the "edit" function as an option. Do I need to have a Google Maps account or something? I like this map.

OK I figured out the answer to my own question. In order to even add your location you must first have an google account and you must use "my maps" linky and then you can use the instructions posted earlier.

Added myself!

 

[bluesforchallah]

Added.

I noticed that the map is heavily pinned on the east coast of the U.S. Not that it's all that unusual I guess. I'd figure there would be more west coast pins.

Yeah, where's all the west coast riders and how about the UK, Europe and Oz?

West coast = Harley Boyz

My dad always referred to those machines as 'Confusers'
And he was a non-english speaker so he had no idea that he hit the nail on the head - its an excellent term IMO :lol:
