Google EEVblog Viewer Map
« on: December 06, 2010, 04:33:06 am »
I just realised you can create your own public Google Maps, so I created one for EEVblog viewers:
http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF&msa=0&msid=112679702572119643834.000496b60853e165a9a9a
Add yourself to the map!

Dave.

Oops, didn't realise the forum converted the link into an actual map!

Looks like anyone can edit other peoples pins which seems insane!
Someone accidentally moved the pin I placed.
Anyone know how to stop that?

Ooops :( I moved someone's pin in Malaysia. That's crazy that you can move other people's pins!

Edit: I think it was in Malaysia originally, but not sure anymore... I was zooming in when it happened and ended up in the Bering Strait. WTF?!? It's Mats' pin, whoever you are. Sorry!

Done. To put yourself on the map:
1. Open the EEVBlog community map: http://goo.gl/G7hUc
2. Type in your location to the "Search Maps" bar and press Enter
3. Click your location marker and select "Save to...", then choose the EEVBlog map.
