Some people want newer maps, others want better/easier functionality...

If you don't give them a choice, then Google Maps will either stand or fall!

You're absolutley right.

Phew, managed to get a Google account and pin myself on the map, finally! I don't have broadband - it took about 10mins for the map to load up but it was easy enough to navigate around and pin myself up... blimey, am I a long way from you guys or what!!

Some people have commented that the maps aren't that up to date (which is true), just thought I'd make another suggestion that was all.

If you want truly up to date maps, have a look here: Flash Earth ...satellite and aerial imagery of the Earth in Flash Look at the NASA ones - can't zoom in very far, and you need good weather to see anything at all.

I wasn't suggesting that any map site was the ideal solution, it was just an idea that needs some refining and an expert touch, maybe to be a feature of the forum as marialittlebzz suggested.

Bit of fun though either way.

This is has a newer picture of mine, still pre - me though! Brilliant pictures though!! And YES! it is fun, well done you!

I'm guessing it's a bit dank up there given your choice of symbol?

Actually, it's really nice at the moment, but generally, yes, it errs on the side of moist! I am surrounded by peat bog after all!

Thanks for the newer links HW, it's amazing to see so clearly! I'll have to stick with the Google Map though, as I really can't figure the other one out.
Anyway, I can see where you all are, and get an idea of your plots, etc. It's more than I could do last week, and I think it's great. Hope it can be pinned somewhere prominent like marialittlebzz suggested

Great Idea HW - I just love nosing around other allotments for hints and tips, now I can do it in cyberspace!

[SueA]

I think I've managed to do it & being a complete technophobe that's no mean feat! Nice idea Wayne.

As I recall, it's collaborate LJ.

I've been having great fun looking at all the old married quaters I have lived in, it just goes to show how old the photos are I found one that was demolished 7 years ago!!!

The satellite photo of my lottie & area only about 18 months old.(I can tell by the state of the lottie)

Not sure, but I'd imagine she's not very well. That field is in fact a garden cemetery now.
