An Idea to help arrange a game ......map location

[nomadpaul]

Having read some of the chats on here , especially in the 'Regional matches' thread , i have come up with an idea to try and help fellow forum members in this particular section in their quest to arrange a game/teams.

Anyways , i have created a google map on which members can add a placemark to show their rough location . By adding your forum screen name , other players will be able to see who's in their area.

go to http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF&msa=0&msid=112737112449253989039.00046387d3745e3df666e

Navigate round the map to your area and then click on edit on the left hand side and this will open up a box at the top left of the map. You then click and drag the blue placemarker over your town or even golf course i guess and add your name.

I've already added mine

Just thought it would give everyone a rough list of local members .

It might also be an idea to make this a sticky thread ?

Cant find the edit bit.

 

[AlchemyGolf]

Great idea, just done it!!

 

[theeaglehunter]

Great idea, I've added myself to the map.

Do you want me to find your golf club and add you on there HTL?

 

[HTL]

That sounds ace mate, Leatherhead is my club, post code - KT22

 

[theeaglehunter]

Done it for you mate- you might want to check it's the right place though, I just searched leatherhead golf club and stuck it there.

[medwayjon]

Ok , it appears that it depends on your internet browser. If you're using IE it is there but if you use firefox/mozilla , it doesn't !!!! Strange .....

 

[theeaglehunter]

Right I've added Leftie and Medwayjon to the map, no need to worry lads- and obviously tell me if you change your mind and wish me to remove it!

Anyone else will have to do it themselves I'm afraid as whilst I have some time at the moment I haven't got all night

 

[medwayjon]

Thank you hugely for that.

 

[Leftie]

Thanks M8.

BTW Can anyone tell me why most threads are contained within about 2/3rds of the screen while others, like this one, take over the whole screen and more?

I think its because of RG's line of ???'s

 

[rob2]

[Imurg]

I'm on. Me and Alchemy look a bit like Billy-no-mates!! Nobody near.

Come on everybody else - stop us feeling lonely!

 

[haplesshacker]

Where's the edit buton??

 

[TonyN]

Guys PLEASE NOTE, I think you only get an edit button if you are signed into google.

What a great Idea this is, well done nomad, surprised no one has thought of this earlier, I didnt know you could do that with google maps.

Dave I have added you to the map!

 

[HarryMonk]

Great Idea I'm on board.

Can someone help and put me down as either Ascot (golf club) or Bracknell (home) as I can't find the bloody edit button anywhere
