sakiqc Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Some of you asked that we put a world map back. We used to have one in the previous version of the forum. I've just setted up a new and better one.. it's a Google map! The link is in the footer of the forum. Or here PS: You don't have to pin exactly to your house. I put my pin somewhere in the city where I live in. The purpose of the map is to get a general look at where our members are writing from, and give a sense of the world wide community we have here. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre the Great Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Can't seem to get the map bigger. Keep hitting the larger button and nothing is happening. ignore that message I had the window collapsed. COOL DA MAP IS BACK!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trizzak Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 I'd like to put my area, but I can't figure out how. It asks for my latitude and longitude, but I can't figure out how to get that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trizzak Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Okay, I did it, but I'm actually North a couple dozen streets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoZed Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Okay, I did it, but I'm actually North a couple dozen streets. Same for me, hahaha! They actually placed me right in what is actually... an arena! (right next to the Gaetan-Boucher rink) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark_faerie87 Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 I put my co-ordinates in, but I'm not on the map yet. Does it take time or did I do something wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAK Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 the longitude and latitude I used were not quite precise but I live about 5 Km north of the shown location. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psycing Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 lol, somehow my location ended up in the St. Lawrence River. Hopefully that's not some sort of sign that I'm going to be swimming with the fishies any time soon... but just incase I suddenly stop posting around here and there's something supernatural about this map... you'll know where to find me.

shortcat1 Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 the longitude and latitude I used were not quite precise but I live about 5 Km north of the shown location. I had fun adjusting and adjusting down to the 1000th and got pretty near to my back yard. I'm 'located' more in my behind the house neighbour's back yard but that's close enough for me. Go :hlogo: Go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetsniper Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 How did you guys find your latitude/longitude? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trizzak Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Same for me, hahaha! They actually placed me right in what is actually... an arena! (right next to the Gaetan-Boucher rink) Oddly enough, where I actually live is right in the middle of a parking lot, according to google map. They need to update that area.

Mr. Nasty Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 I am in there. I have a GPS so that was a lot of help. If you get the coordinates from maporama then you will get pretty close. To get closer you have to play with the numbers. I.e. if it says -64.7...try -64.66 etc and keep looking to see if you are closer or farther away from your location.

shortcat1 Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 It placed me at an apartment complex lol. I don't live there thats down the street a ways. Try adjusting the positioning by making 100th & 1000th shifts latitude & longitude-wise. I did and it got me pretty close. Go :hlogo: Go!
