By adding the zip code, mine came in the center of town. Cool site eh?

I love it, We're in MI right under Roger and between Happy Campers and Lou and Larry, where we all met at the forum rally this summer. : )

It's free, just click on the link in my signature then click on "Add Yourself" to the right of the map and show us where you are! You can use just your screen name if you wish to maintain your privacy.

If someone has already started one of these that I don't know about then pm me the link. Enjoy!

P.S. - I've also added a link to the links section. Keyword "Map"

I can't believe mine showed up right, since I live in the boonies.

This is great.

I just added myself. If I zoom it's about a mile South, close enough. The problem I have is Brad's bubble is blocking mine! Brad, move!!!!

Mine missed by several miles...What is cool is that you can zoom in on my place...the red barn roof gives me away

But the picture is pre airstream, you can see my popup and red pickup tho...

I'm in. I was able to zoom in and move my marker to my exact house using the satellite image.

OK - this sounds weird!

RichardT · 11-18-2005, 10:13 PM

Very cool! I am now on the map!

05ModPod · 11-18-2005, 10:37 PM

Well I clicked on "not in US. and I have put in every city within 100 miles of where I live and everyone is invalid......please don't tell me that you have only one city listed the capital of Canada - Ottawa.

So any hints on how I can get on the map without having to move to the US

Now I know there are more Oregon Airstream owners out there. Don't be shy !

How do you move your balloon to your house ? Mine is a quite few blocks away.

The satellite photo of my place is pre-Airstream. I can see my old Aristocrat in the driveway tho.

Log into your account, click on "My Prophile, click on the map where you live and the balloon will move. Then select "Save Marker Position"

Hi ben;
great idea , congratulations to have created that so i live in FRANCE, Dunkerque exactly and that don't run for me... When you zoom your map, NO roads and nor cities in FRANCE ( and EUROPE ); my neighbour english has all of that... it's time to go there, FRANCE become like a desert...
I think it's the problem of the "Teleatlas cartography system map" ; they are not well present in Europe; I've gotten a GPS / téléatlas Blaupunkt and that don't work great too.

I really wanted to be on your map ....I'm very curious to know how many, we are in EUROPE.
May be the next time...

Bruno.

wahoonc · 11-19-2005, 05:11 AM

Okay I moved my marker...if you zoom in on mine and look to the SW you can see the big red barn roof

I think the satellite imagery is from Google Earth. If you want something else to be majorly addicted to go to Google.com and click on "more" then look for Google Earth. You download it and it only works well with a high speed connection. It's satellite imagery for the entire planet, but it's got a really cool interface! You just type in where you want to go and the planet starts spinning to it and zooming and zooming until you're there. I've seen the pyramids, the great wall of china, red square, the grand canyon, and hundreds more. Very Very cool.

Couldn't sign on - I know we live in a small town - but "invalid"?? - jeepers - I'm going to get a complex .....

There. I made a cheesy logo to the map so we don't just have a blank space anymore. It WILL be changed. Did we ever get a standard logo for here? Can someone get me a link to it?

85MH325 · 11-19-2005, 07:26 AM

Oh, this is WAAY cool... 'course it shows I live in the center of our new sewage treatment plant lagoons... about a mile southwest of my house... but I guess that's OK... maybe they know something I don't?
