Grapevine map?

[Two_Sheds]

I am not techie enough. I think I plotted Me, but not in the right place (near enough) and I can't work out how to put my Avatar on there. Oh well.

TS, Mine put me as next door originially, so when looking at the map, I manually placed a pin and deleted the postcode searched one

Cool to see where everyone is, even though my geography is pretty good it's still easier to actually "see" where one is in relation to other ones.

...or would have been 5 years ago

....to lift up a flower!

How do I turn my pin pink?

"it takes me an hour, although"

Just turned yours pink for you - hope that's ok?

It's a bit long winded to explain how to put your avatar on, but if you use something like photobucket, or flickr to host your photos, it's quite straightforward. If anyone wants to do it, let me know.

Victory is mine!!! Well, that's my acheivement for the day...I'm off home! haha

I'm added - ashamed of how bad the garden used to look though!

Tis a lovely spot though, just a shame that the M6 is a stone's throw away!

OK, My plot now appears on the Grapes Map list and you can access the satellite shot from there, but I don't know how it happened as I and an almost resident techie - ( he's my daughter's boyfriend, sitting on my sofa every night....drinking all our coffee.... um, well anyway, the techie couldn't get it on the list either) but now it's there, so if one of you grapes managed it from my above post, thanks....and if not then I was probably right all along and these computer wotsits are powered by fairies or something. The thing is the rest of you seem to be talking about some sort of big map where our pins can all be seen at once, if so how do I get to see it? I can only seem to gain access to the individual satellite photos - which are interesting in themselves, our plots were 50% abandoned when we took ours on, you can actually see which ones were derelict, and now the allotments are all full and there's a waiting list. What a difference a few years makes. I also note that the sun was shining on our lotties that day, but they seem to have photo-shopped out all the half naked old blokes - you all don't know how lucky you are to be spared that!

Thought we could use another one of these....

Google Maps

Ah! thought I was being clever but it's only got bluemoons plot on it!!!! (very lovely though it is BM)

[lainey lou]

Grape Map

Hopefully that is better!!

Sorry, as I said I was struggling with all this infernal technology. It wasn't supposed to end up there, but it just sort of.........did.
I'll try to edit that post to warn others that the link is a dead end.

[lumpyjumper]

obviously being very blonde, I can log into google maps and find the grape map, then what do I do?

Do I click on Edit or Collaborate?

And how do I stick a pin in.....sorry being very very dim this morning...

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!!!

[marialittlebzz]

That's a brilliant idea ! I see it as well like a location finder, maybe it could be add to the feature of the forum? would be great!

[snake the squadie]

mate i think its a cracking idea. when i go away again everyone will know where my plot is so my new mates on here can go round and sort it lol
