BE'ers around the world - new map!

I discovered that we can create our own map with placement markers to show where we all live.

Just zoom into the general area you want to be show as living, click on the 'add' and place the marker .. put your name in - you can choose the symbol you want (icon) and the colour..
Enjoy!
:D

Please do NOT add layers as it disrupts the rest of the map, thank you.


Anyone who doesn't have a google account who wants to be added, just shout below! :D

Probably for privacy. I haven't pin pointed my exact location but I am in the general area of where my flag is.

Indeed - nobody needs to know exactly where any of us live - a general area / City / town is enough.. :)

LOL - you noticed that did you? I purposely picked the biggest mansion in my neighborhood. That is actually the house of my Daughters School teacher. It's a nice gaff.

You weren't showing - but I've put you on the map :D

I've redone yours as for some reason you started a new layer, which threw the map out.. (please don't add layers, cheers!)

If you wanted to look then you would just keep zooming in.. until you got to street level! :D
If you wanted to put it in (I don't recommend it) you can just input the address as a search and it will zoom into it with a preplaced pointer you can edit :)

Here's one I did earlier - it's actually where I used to live in Hong Kong (my 2nd apartment there)

I saw the thread about the old map last night and did wonder if it was something google maps to could handle :) Location added.

Of course! I need to know where you are though :D (Town / City or area .. just south of / just north of etc., )
:D

Of course you do, way to prove my point! I'm in Calgary 😊
Thanks Siouxie

Re: BE'ers around the world - new map!
 
It seems that we have some infiltrators -or jokers! I'll check the names on the map against our member list and any that aren't on it will be removed, sorry.

Best Curryhouse?
2nd Best Curryhouse?
U-251?
Titanic?
Biff Tanner's BBQ ?
Thanks for the extra work mates !

Please make sure you use your BE Username when signing up - and replace the "Point xx" with your Username - then change the marker to a different symbol - preferably changing the colour if there seems to be quite a few of you in the area!

Cheers!
:D

SIGH.

Can who ever is adding these nonsensical names please stop.

I don't have time to keep going back to the map and deleting them.. this is supposed to be a map of everyone who are members of BE - not a stupid game.

I'll simply remove the map if this keeps happening.

Hurlabrick Dec 23rd 2018 4:22 am

Re: BE'ers around the world - new map!
 
Suggestion. Is there any way you can lock down editing of the map to a few people, others can post on the thread if they want to be added.

A bit like the spousal sponsorship spreadsheet

Just a thought.....

Jerseygirl Dec 23rd 2018 4:42 am

Re: BE'ers around the world - new map
 
Maybe for now, it would be best to have it in the Canada forum only. Peeps who frequent The Lounge and TIO often like to mess about. Siouxie...let me know if you want the other 2 threads to disappear.;)

I have changed it to I'm the only one who can edit/delete members from the map now - I've changed it from anyone with the link... seems that's the only way to stop the silliness..

:)

No thanks, the point is that the map is for ALL BE members, worldwide.

I have now locked it down so anyone who wants to be added will have to put in a request on the thread.

The only people that should have been able to delete you are yourself of me - and I haven't.. strange.. I've redone it for you..

I have only deleted stupid names but it appears that someone managed to access it and change / delete several.... so it's now locked down.

:)

Yes.. it seems someone thought it would be funny to change members names or remove them entirely. Troll behaviour which really ticks me off.
Have added you back :)


If anyone notices their name has changed or they have been deleted or moved, please let me know - I'm happy to put it right :)

Ugh, another one? That makes 10 that were deleted - plus all the ones that had their names changed.

Where is RICH located? Sorry I can't remember (area / town / City) - if you can let me know I'll make it right!

I've put the ones I can right but there's a couple of name changes that I'm not sure of the original.. so if anyone sees a name that's incorrect (give me the correct one), in the wrong place (tell me where it should be) or is missing (tell me name and location) please let me know and I'll sort it!
:D

I promise I'll add you all in the next couple of days :D

Work has been a bit manic - I did 10+ hours yesterday and the same again today.. finishing at 1am, so I haven't had a chance.. but I'll get to it!

Anyone else want adding? Just shout out! :D

Happy New Year to one and all around the world!
