Chat about the UK BE map and how to use it.
I've had a go:
https://www.zeemaps.com/map?group=12...%2C%20UK&add=1
(The first time I tried it the map was way out in the North Sea, so that's why it's centred on Birmingham. Add yourself by going to 'list' in the box with 3 lines.)

Re: Anybody returning who cant afford to buy a house?
To delete, it is asking me to sign in and so I will have to look at whether I created an account last time.
If you have editing rights, you can delete the red one (lower down of the two). I have deliberately put my location at the top of a mountain.
After I posted the red one, I realised when I zoomed in that it was in the wrong place, anyway (too far south from where I actually live). Right-click didn't seem to enable me to do any editing, either.

I've managed to post two pins (I think I did this on the global one, too!)

Re: Anybody returning who cant afford to buy a house?
May not be useful if you have already set yours up and didn't save the link, but for new people setting up a new pin, make sure you do it.
I'm assuming you can save the link as a favourite so you can go back and edit any time.

Re: Anybody returning who cant afford to buy a house?
Ah-ha, I think I figured out how. When you set it up and click Submit, it gives you a link and says copy it. If you copy it and then paste into your browser, it takes you to the original edit window and you can make changes.

Re: Anybody returning who cant afford to buy a house?
- nope, doesn't seem to do it for me. I vaguely recall that on the other BE map, that did work for me, though.
