Default 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!

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

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.

I'm not sure if I'm on there or not. If I do show up, we are far tidier now!

I don't even know how to show your real address, I probably show as living in the Indian ocean

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

If you wanted to look then you would just keep zooming in.. until you got to street level!
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)
