Wacky Map Idea

[Nicos]

...I'm not suggesting for one moment that grapes put there exact location..........it can be put within 50 miles, it does not really matter in the great scheme of things.

I can't see a problem there either.

I think the issue is more likely to be that someone says they're going on hols for 2 weeks- and they have got their back garden pinned as a veg plot.


Having been on the receiving end of silent/malicious phone calls many years ago, my radar antennae start twitching in case peeps aren't fully aware of any potential problem.

So long as grapes are fully aware- and happy to share- then I think it's a wonderful idea BM!

Cheers Nic, I am fully aware of the worries & dangers that social networking can pose..........after all I'm the one who flew to America to meet someone I had never seen...................now that was scary, even for me........

I've tagged my plot ( or possibly my neighbours, it's very hard to zoom in enough).
I wouldn't tag my house.

Time to put the kettle on

[Bigmallly]

It's a good job I don't swear.....................

[veggiechicken]

The kettles on BM - fancy a Cawfee?

[Bigmallly]

So even logged in to my google account I can't see how to put in a pin. Maybe some instructions as post number 2 on the other thread. I got well lost trying to scroll through this one!

Same here. I would add a pin but can't work it out.

I looked at the instructions, but at

"5. Click the blue "Add a Placemark" icon overlaid over the map pane near its upper-left corner."

Nope, haven't got one of those.

Simple noob-friendly instructions might get some more of us in...

[veggiechicken]

I followed these instructions How to Add Pins to Google Maps | eHow.com
- the other ones didn't make sense to me

Yeah, we certainly need more on the map, its looking a bit empty.

There used to be more but I think a few may have got let's say scared off.
